Let's send them "valentines." I have a buddy who works at the stock-yards...
I just feel for you guys. Reading what you're going through re-affirms my resistance to buying from Marvel again. They should know that there is that effect. People have been driven away, and are disinclined to come back when they hear this nonsense.
Marvel really scoured out my pockets with that hot-air souffle of the Clone Saga (which collapsed mid-baking due to poor mixing of the ingrediants). They let a lot of promising titles flounder while they whipped the Spidey horse until it was very nearly dog-meat.
All I can say is, Martha would never run an empire so ruthlessly, and if Marvel doesn't even have the heart of Martha, clearly they could use a few dozen "valentines."
