Are you people seriously in favor of this? First they kill off Sentry, the same way as Scarlet Witch (great message about problem solutions, guys). And now we have stories with no plot anymore. It’s just hack and slash, no character growth and no story arc. You probably liked Transformers 2 as well.

Marvel is all about the money…Has anyone counted how many new Avenger and X-Men spin-offs are coming from the new “Heroic Age”? It is getting hard to keep up with them all.

Nice to see “Agents of Atlas” in the ad. I certainly would not call them well known heroes.

Makes sense. Real life is depressing enough these days.

…which would require someone besides Bendis and the other Marvel standard-bearers writing the comics.

Yeah, I don’t think it has anything to do with Disney, just a general fatigue and malaise among superhero readers. The ones I know are tired of the jaded, violent approach and want something more optimistic.

They were talking about this before the Disney merger…I suspect this is not Disney forcing anything upon them.

They sure were trying hard to send the message that this had nothing to do with Disney ordering them to clean up their act (because they didn’t, we swear!)

In fairness, Sue Storm could be in the picture…
