Sigh…

By the way in case anyone hasn’t seen this before this is Sana Takeda’s website. She did a drawing for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 too that you can see below.

I’m a couple years behind the times, but I finally read Ultimatum recently. I was blown away by it.

I was inspired to give it a proper write-up.

Daken’s comic has gotten canceled too. Alex Alonso discusses some of the recent cancellations -

Alonso: It’s always disappointing when a title comes to an end. I’ll bet everyone reading this column still mourns the death of a title or two they loved – and wonder why the book didn’t stick. And I guarantee you that as frustrated as a fan might be, there’s a writer, artist and an editor who are even more disappointed. That’s just the way things go sometimes. The market won’t support it.

That said, I’m proud of X-23’s run. Two successful limited series and an ongoing series ain’t bad. Ditto for Daken [who is also ending his series.] From a supporting role in "Wolverine: Originsā€ to the lead of ongoing series that included him slicing Frank Castle to bits – enter Franken-Castle. Both were characters that gained traction in a market that, well, doesn’t really have a great track record of supporting new stuff. And both characters anchored legitimate monthly titles. We don’t do R&D at Marvel. We’ll stick by a title for a while – like we did with ā€œSpider-Girlā€ – but there comes a point where that title has to earn, usually sooner than later.

X-23’s Marjorie Liu tweeted that she will be writing another Marvel book in the future and we’ll hear more about it soon.

Here’s a pretty cool interview with Ryan Stegman, the artist behind Scarlet Spider.

;-; Daken got cancelled , he was always my favorite

Great review and boi i forgot how terrible that thing was.

Captain America and Thunderbolts were pretty good this week IMO.

…and watch as everyone starts to listen to Norman Osborn in Avengers, ugh.

I was watching A Different World reminded me of the X-men.I remember reading somewhere that Professor Xavier and Magneto were inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. and pre-Mecca Malcom X. Did anyone else hear of this?

On record / officially that’s not true. Stan Lee attributed their creation to how young people felt different and alienated from adults. That’s what Mutants originally represented.

Off the record and in truth it’s very likely. Although the X-Men were written extremely different in the '60s and Magneto wasn’t a concentration camp survivor originally either. Mutants not being accepted was kind of a back drop to a team that was more or less the Fantastic Four plus an extra member.

I’d say Proffesor X’s comparison to MLK came many years later. I don’t think Malcolm X and Magneto were ever ever ever anything alike. That’s a comparison made by people who didn’t understand Malcolm X at all. Skip his movie, read his book and also read Malcom and Martin in America. It’s a very good movie, but no substitute for reading his autobiography.

This comic is such a terrible pile of shit it angers me. … Starbrand and Atari Force and maybe even Power Pack are better than this. It’s like somebody looked at a cover of Black Panther, read a couple Daredevils and 100 Bullets, and just decided to crap out some scripts that might vaguely be brandable ā€œBlack Pantherā€.

It’s painfully bad and I’ll be happy to see it go away and have them bring back NextWave instead. :stuck_out_tongue:

Speaking of Power Pack, really wish there was a new mini for them with Gurihiru’s art =/
for that matter, a Power Pack animated series with Gurihuri would be wicked if done right.

Guess i’ll start reading Avengers again when storm joins.

So that’ll be what two x-men on the squad?

Also how do you all feel about comic’s going digital? I like the ideal as long as i can actually download the book and not have to be connected online to read it.

My latest addition to the family

Awesome Mystique figure! :tup:
