remember when marvel was called the house of ideas?
Lately all marvel seem to do is rely on gimmicks and no longer ideas. i mean im starting to miss the times where a super hero would just go have an adventure.
Spider-man would go out and fight a new or old villain or overcome a new problem and this would be advertised and marketed as the selling point, THE STORY IS WHY READERS READ, not a point one initiative or an endless conveyer belt of events (which now all seem to be made on a gimmick). No one gives a crap about a number change, as if the comic has spider-man on the cover chances are someone who likes spider-man will pick it up whether its numbered 1 or 389. Big promotional campaigns seem to now just be the fact something has a number changed than the story inside. Take Captain America for example, the last time his book renumbered all the emphasis was on the number change, I dont seem to remember the new villain or cool plot being advertised that much at all.
Soon marvel will only produce books the mark millar way using soundbytes like "Oceans 11...............but super villains" or "Batman.............but an evil dick"
i now have a nosebleed caused by this rant
