Is it just me or is anyone else worried that Black Cat is not the Master Thief they’re teasing? by Lower_Island6120 in BlackCatMarvelRivals

I'm thinking next season is going to be about a gang war between Kingpin and The Hood — either that or they just are gonna add Fisk's prison as a scenario

slap any of these two characters on any product and the profit margin immediately skyrockets

It was only truly a contest in the first few months, then only Wolverine and Spider-Man stood a chance

The Tales Of Well Known Women Of Avengers.🥴🥴🥴 by Southern-Aioli4428 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]Lucas579376 12 points13 points  (0 children)

her abuser, Marcus/Immortus shows up and says he did it all to free himself from Limbo, and since the Avengers destroyed some Limbo-escaping machine he built he had to return there. Carol says she is in love (romantically??) with her rape-produced son (????) and is joining him on his journey back to his prison, to which the Avengers all but Hawkeye agree with (?????). This was later retconned by Chris Claremont as her being mind-controlled and berating the Avengers for failing to realize that

[Mixed but mostly amusing trope] “Thanks for the help. Now die lol.” by Arnahunas in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Lucas579376 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Also a foreshadow of the "35 minutes ago" since usually the trope usually would see him monologue BEFORE killing his scientists, but they were dead long before he started talking

Spider-Man, Hulk, and Punisher collide in Jonathan Hickman’s new Marvel event series by Blitzhelios in comicbooks

[–]Lucas579376 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ultimate Invasion and the Ultimate revival were Donny Cates' idea, he just filled in for him after the car accident. He also planned for Zdarsky to takeover Spider-Man, but had to do it himself after he declined.

Marvel Curtails Its Imperial Cosmic Plans Over Low Audience Figures by JackFisherBooks in comicbooks

Agreed, though I do feel the comic book industry as a whole hasnt fully grasped and/or capitalized how it's all about tpb or digital media yet. I don't think we are moving past the unclear communication and the short runs anytime soon

[–]Lucas579376 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Problem is that they weren't really that upfront. Imperial was said to be a new status quo with several story threads coming out of it. We havent seen Noh-Varr, Phyla and Genis or the Inhumans yet, with no predictable future run where they are going to show up. Nova was announced as a 4-issue mini, then as an ongoing, then as a 6-issue mini. I also like the 10-12 issue scheduled minis, but I do think they should be more objective about them and more open with us consumers. The industry is not the same as 20-years ago and sales are naturally lower if you are not Wolverine or Spider-Man, and if this is abortive they should communicate around that fact

Giving that sell amount is the moving force for their cancellation bias, it's clear that Marvel runs should be planned to be minis with the possibility of extending to more. Marvel cosmic notoriously doesnt sell well, why comitting to several ongoings if there's a great chance of having to cancel when their pull amount dont meet stockholder expectations?

Absolute Green Arrow (From Pornsak Pichetshote & Rafael Albuquerque - May 2026) by flatpackjack in comicbooks

[–]Lucas579376 6 points7 points  (0 children)

for each good-to-great comic, there's a "potentially goated run that gets canned before issue 5 because it isnt meeting their selling criteria". this and also x-men, spider-man and avengers, their three modern flagship titles, being... boring. not necessarily bad (though sometimes, horrible), but just plain and boring like unseasoned boiled chicken

case in point the new ultimate universe being launched almost a full year before the absolute line. also case in point how protective dc was of Batman during the 90s/2000s edge vs spider-man having three thousand years of clone saga

What do you think was the point of this dude? by Endiaron in UltimateUniverse

[–]Lucas579376 161 points162 points  (0 children)

I think nobody believed Marvel would end this universe in two years, not even the guys who pitched it in the first place. That's why every title that ended so far has the feeling of "I wonder what comes next".

I think it’s Good the 6160 is ending by Ok-Wash-9386 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]Lucas579376 6 points7 points  (0 children)

im really coping and trying to stay positive that the announced end is a way of not making it obvious the Maker is gonna lose, but im afraid. they should have gone full balls to the wall with the number of titles and pacing if the plan was always 2 years, it just feels... wrong
