My fear is that FNSM blew it with ill-conceived promotion. Many books don't get more than one chance (if that) these days to click with the audience. And I doubt Marvel is going to make a big deal about a possible tone change -- that could be seen as admitting a mistake, and no one likes to do that. (What's wrong with purple? :) ) With that title, the book shouldn’t be that gross and dark.

FNSM is supposed to be more kid-friendly, after all. I've yet to jump on the digital comic bandwagon, but I figure I will one of these days. I'm enjoying the new look! Maybe a bit too much purple for my tastes, but I dig the category navigation and overall design.
