Mm. Because sales are an infallible indication of content quality? *insert eye roll here pls*
Anyways, lol, not much point in staving off the inevitable or drudging one's self in delusive denial. What will be will be. I've loved this title. It's been a monumental blast and i hope it's purported end doesn't spell the cessation of Spurrier on the X-Books. This man is a rare-breed--if given commensurate pull and priority, i feel he could have been up there in pantheons with Claremont and Morrison (lol not forgetting anyone). Each issue was electricity.
I can't fault him or this not-your-run-of-the-mill slapdash cast. Poor sales are as a result of insufficient promotion and Marvel's general indifference when it comes to titles and characters who aren't pumping out the $$$s on sight, and that's solely what they're all about these days. It's also symptomatic of a malady that the general CB market have been unknowingly stricken with. The masses are subsisting on a diet of convoluted cross-overs nauseatingly lauded about as being the next big game-changer despite the lack of heart, thought and creative effort put into its execution in addition to a myriad of others things that just shouldn't be happening while being backed with poor justifications.
Heart and passion be damned. Respect for the characters they're handling be damned. Respect for creative cohesion be damned. Respect for the bloody fans be damned, because, guess what--come rain come shine, those noobs will still be giving us the money we need to pump this trite out. On a more serious note, thank God for Kamala Khan's Ms. Marvel.
X-Force was an amazing title, the scales just haven't fallen from many eyes and unfortunately they never will.
Meanwhile we're stuck with Bendis and his fake revolution and those time-displaced boobs.
