The less core titles seem to be doing better. Exiles has had death but it doesn't seem horribly depressing somehow. Ms. Marvel has been kind of fun. Ditto Spider-Girl.<BR/><BR/>It's probably that old story about the most fun/creativity coming with the characters the bosses don't care about (ala Claremont/Byrne X-Men), so you can tell whatever you want..CalvinPitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815632086057048846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19932777.post-1147553026548597822006-05-13T15:43:00.000-05:002006-05-13T15:43:00.000-05:00That was my guess as well (as I blurted in a comme...That was my guess as well (as I blurted in a comment yesterday.)<BR/><BR/>Bullseye is supposed to be in jail right now, but doesn't mean he didn't bust out in time for Civil War.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I'll only find out if you're right second-hand since I've dropped Marvel for now. <BR/><BR/>It isn't so much because of Civil War, which I do think is pretty good, but because I'm less than thrilled with what Quesada and co. have done with my favorite characters.<BR/><BR/>It's been ages since I've bought a Spidey comic, or Avengers (even before Bendis) or Fantastic Four or any of their core titles.<BR/><BR/>I just think the whole "real world" and "everything is grey" approach makes for dreary reading.<BR/><BR/>The Marvel universe is based on flawed heroes, but these days there are too many flaws and too few heroes.<BR/><BR/>Conversely, DC's heroes do seem re-energized OYL (except for Nightwing for whatever reason), and I can live with darker villains if it serves to provide greater contrast wto brighter heroes.<BR/><BR/>Whew...
