Why can't Marvel make good comics anymore? Back in the 1970s, those comics were good. Spider-Man was fighting real villains like Green Goblin and Big Wheel. Now we've got a stupid goblin wannabe and idiots like The Spot and The Answer. Who comes up with these names anyway?
And now we've got a comic about a Canadian super hero team! What the crap. Who cares what happens in Canada anyway! A guy with a big dumb leaf on his suit? Come on. Why can't we get Nova back ... or even Omega. At least they were Americans!
And why are they wasting all these writers and artists on movie adaptations and comics about a stupid Army toyline! These don't even exist in the same world as Iron Man. Want to know why? Because Iron Man would blow apart the terrorist's secret base with his unibeam, that's why! And "Star Wars"? That's an awful book -- I mean I saw the movies and their OK -- but the story's over when they blew up the second Death Star. There's nothing more to explore. Why can't we get a Killraven book instead? It's all sci-fi.
Then the other day I was at the drug store and saw "The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe" which is basically a big encyclopedia for Marvel. Why? They get everything wrong. They actually say that the Thing can lift 75 tons and Captain America can lift 1 ton. Really? I haven't seen Cap punch someone's head off. I swear, they're just making things up and selling us a collection of pinups. One of them even had the colors wrong for Man-Ape.
Ole Merry Marvel is going downhill fast, and I'm dropping comics like crazy. I'm thinking of just picking up books from Eclipse or maybe even Continuity. They're so much more realistic anyway.

Dave Cockrum has left the X-Men! This sucks! I'm dropping the title before it gets any worse!
What's this? Matt Murdock never had a girlfriend named "Elektra"when he was in college!
I don't like that new artist on Thor. His style is too different!
Man, as much as I loved the Death of Captain Marvel "graphic novel" that Marvel just put out, I just don't see any future for these super-large expensive comics. It doesn't even fit in a comic box! No one is going to want comics they have to put on a bookshelf.
