See, that's why I quit Marvel when they cancelled everything I loved. I'll be trying to get a hold of the new Alpha Flight soon, which I'm happy to do, as it's rare for Marvel to do right by fans anymore, so I need to support this. If I weren't poor I'd buy multiple copies. lol

I know the Temptation to buy a book just because a beloved character is in it, but I learned the hard way from Weapon X that this only encourages the writer's abuse of said character. Certain writers have no respect for fans and should be boycotted by fans for the way they treat the fans and characters.

I would love to pick up the one book where Wildchild beats the **** out of Wolverine (Not that I hate Wolverine, but I'm loosing all ability to relate to are care about his character.), or the one where he tortures Daken (boohoo 'torture is wrong' I feel sorry for Wolvie but Daken deserves anything he gets. Someone should do a time travel story and un-create him.) ... but, I don't want to give money to Marvel for Loeb's **** writing, especially after what he did to so many great feral mutants. Someday if I find it in a bargain bin somewhere, I'll pick it up because at least some of the art was good. Then I'll just be helping some poor ****er who ordered too many copies recover their losses.


If you need a comic book 'fix', there are manga out there with a lot more integrity, because there's no creative team changes. I'm loving Bleach and Dance on the Vampire Bund. Anime is good, too, with stuff like Cowboy BeeBop, Ghost in the Shell, and Tengu Topa Gurren Lagann. (bet you can't guess who my favorite Gurren Lagann character is. *snerk*)


Aaaaalsoooo... I just have to say... I love how you guys think. I swear every time I hop on a thread here I get a goofy grin, or just crack the hell up. Apparently my problem is that I was born in the wrong part of the continent. You guys are totally 'my people'. lol
