Rumor mill says Peter David will be writing a Scarlet Spider series post-Clone Conspiracy.
It's like the '90s called and said, "Hey, that thing that's been on back order for 20 years? It's ready." This would've been perfect back then, but now? Hrm.

To be fair, it wasn't long ago there was a Scarlet Spider book starring Kaine. It was pretty good, too.

Please have his speech be like this, where it's interpreted differently by everyone.
Old school Barry Allen Flash is my shit, every other week he's fighting some new subterranean race or weird scientist and I love it! Kiiiiiiiiiiiinda wish they'd have been just as imaginative with sub-plots though, "Oh no, I can't be late for my date with Iris!" That's almost every issue, and its downright monotonous.
Sounds very Golden Age.
Very much so, kind of a warts and all deal with me. ALSO-for those chiming in, yes I mistook this for the "what comics are you reading" topic.

Marvel Month-to-Month Sales Chart November 2016: Children and Women Firsts!
Anyway, who's ready for the fifth relaunch of Marvel NOW?
I'm glad Renew Your Vows is up there. Maybe it'll make Marvel throw OMD out the window. Also, Clone Conspiracy seems to be a major flop. Kick Slott out.

DC Solicitations for March 2017
Naturally, I don't care about the monthly stuff, but there're some good nuggets in here for me:
-Volume 2 of Mark Waid's Flash run. This one will include The Return of Barry Allen storyline, which was my first Flash story and made me love the character. So that's exciting.
-Legionnaires Vol 1. This is post-Zero Hour Legion of Superhero stuff. I seem to recall it was good back in the day. Never been a big LoSH fan, but I might check this out. Seems like DC's pushing more LoSH lately. Maybe there're plans for them to appear on Supergirl or Legends?
-Superman/Lois action figures based on the Superman Animated Series! They've done a great job on the Batman Animated figures. So much so that if I had the income, I'd probably be buying some.
And then there's this. Which is an, uh, interesting take on Aquaman.

Marvel To Run “Best Bendis Moments” Variant Covers
Guys. Guardians of the Galaxy is almost free of Bendis. Even if it's rumored that Slott will be taking over - at least we'll get Bendis off of Guardians right??
Now, I'm betting he's going to jump on Fantastic Four next and ruin everything for everyone.

Hahaha
Please. Fantastic Four isn't popular enough for Bendis to shamelessly ride its coattails.
Guess now we know that he loves fishsticks.

Marvel seems to believe Bendis is a great way to revitalize a fanbase. They put him on Iron Man after announcing that Iron Man would be the new face of Marvel. Which brought us this bullshit:
Oh...oh dear god...that is some terrible tasting copy-pasta.
Sometimes it can work for comedic effect. I think it works here, honestly. It's funny.

It would be more fun if it wasn't constantly happening in everything he touches.[DOUBLEPOST=1482276047,1482275995][/DOUBLEPOST]
I prefer the 3 panel version without the other 4 panels of these two characters making it look like they are apparently frozen in time.
Bendis is trying to break into webcomics.

Marvel’s Possible Cancellations By Stealth For February And March 2017?
Surprising no one, Solo and Foolkiller are done. Not even sure why they were given their own solos.

He only has that and DC Comics left to ruin.
God help us if ever decides to go back to Image.

A trade ending at #6 is normal, but a lot of those others are probably done.
The X-Men and Inhuman ones aren't even speculation; Marvel is having an "out with the old, in with the new" sweep-up, so the current X and Inhumans titles are ending, to replaced by new ones and special one-shots to get them launched.
I have a hard time seeing Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur being cancelled because Marvel is really trying to boost the character, they like the critical accolades even if the book is lukewarm, and they can sell the trades at school book fairs same as they do with Squirrel Girl.

I think Moon Girl is in Inhumans Prime now, not sure if that means they're cutting her solo or not.[DOUBLEPOST=1482283660,1482283526][/DOUBLEPOST]
Oh my - that Medusa.
I'll let her turn ME into stone, if you know what I mean!I think Moon Girl is in Inhumans Prime now, not sure if that means they're cutting her solo or not.[DOUBLEPOST=1482283660,1482283526][/DOUBLEPOST]

Possibly, but I wouldn't assume that yet. Ms. Marvel sure isn't getting cancelled, and Black Bolt is getting a solo.I think Moon Girl is in Inhumans Prime now, not sure if that means they're cutting her solo or not.[DOUBLEPOST=1482283660,1482283526][/DOUBLEPOST]

She doesn't do that; she just kills people with her hair.I'll let her turn ME into stone, if you know what I mean!
Well now my pervy joke is ruined. I blame Bendis.
trademark renewals and to clog up shelf space at comic shops so there's less room for smaller publishers.
