That's why I posted on the Marvel boards saying that I wasn't going to buy anymore of their comics until an AF/OF ongoing happens. We may not be a huge community compared to other fan bases, but if we all posted/emailed/mailed in that message Marvel might rethink trying to take advantage of us.Quote:

so funny that you mention that, i just started picking up some independents, some image and dc and really am enjoying most of it.
weaning off marvel may not be that hard after all.
I am weak, I added MCP to my pull list and I was even heckled by someone at the comic shop.
I did pick up some non-Marvel today though, Mice Templar and Booster Gold so I am slowly (very slowly) going away from Marvel.
I can't stop buying Marvel. Despite my lack of enthuse for so many of their titles there's a bunch of others I love. They are:
X-Factor/NewXMen/StarLord/Nova/NewWarriors/CaptainAmerica.
Well, I get very little Marvel. Thunderbolts, New Excalibur, Exiles (dropping at #99) I'm definitly keeping 'Bolts, but if I don't like the new writer for Excalibur then that goes too.
LOTS of other good stuff out there. I admit I'm more of a DC fan. Currently I get Checkmate, Brave and the Bold, Catwoman, Manhunter and will be getting Suicide Squad and Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters. Also a mess of trades from DC and Veritgo.
Some indie trades too like Conan, Red Sonja, Bone, HACK/SLASH.
Won't be very hard for me to ween off The House of (bad) Ideas.
I'm definitely going to get the MCP series. It sounds really good and it has so much stuff in it. It will be my regular monthly until Alpha Flight gets its own series.
Love,

I know, it's not exactly on topic, but...
I just pick it up today, because, well, in the last 2 months I had a lot of personal problems, and I didn't red it, i just give a look, and i was wondering..did someone notice thet agent brown looks totally different from the one in OMEGA FLIGHT? it's not only the different style in his clothes, but he looks older, too, and he is physically very different from the one we met on OF.... he looks more like Walt than Brown. Am I right or Am I just having a sort of dream?
Yeah, you weren't the only one who thunk it.Quote:

MCP #3 is out and we see some familar faces.....
SPOILER:
Agent Brown [Who looks completly different], US Agent, Arcahne aaaaaaand....SASQUATCH :) and he doesn't get beat up, he gives the beatings
END SPOILER
Should that have been posted with a spoiler alert?
Your right, I corrected it now
I wonder if this book will last until issue 12, to finish the story.
sales are not so good.
I would be shocked if they stopped it before 12, as basically every Marvel title that has been cancelled latelty was allowed to go to issue 12 so it can be in a digest trade.
