Did you read the whole thread, do you know the whole story, because GS is smartassish to, not to mention a SHITLOAD of people here.

You don't like Raphael? 🙁

I'm not insulting you, bro.

You're a smartass, it's just part of what makes you who you are. This isn't a bad thing because you have to have a quick wit in order to pick up on the situation enough to be sarcastic about it.

I agree ✅

Marvel's never been able to get an imprint like DC's Vertigo or Wildstorm comics going. But it's not for lack of effort or talent on the part of their creative stable. (Powers, Marvels, Earth X and its sequels, are all great works of comic literature.)

I'd say the problem is that DC cornered that particular niche market with Swamp thing and Sandman before Marvel ever had the idea. So now Marvel can't seriously break into the "mature comics" world.

Yes, yes Marvel is.

Why do you all get so heated over this. I get the feeling that a lot of you base way too much of your life around comic books. Why is that even bad in the first place? Comics are fiction. Simple. I can see why you would debate a what if scenario or even the quality of a story or a writer or artists etc etc. However, when you get to the point where you get mad based off of what two companies do then you need to re examine your life bc that is unhealthy. Although I see a lot of your points about needing character and plot consistency for sake of story telling, but when you guys talk about the never useless stuff i.e Wolverine feats its completely pointless. You really don't have anything to say about the validity of what writers do with characters or plots simply because marvel and dc own their characters, they commission writers and artists to interpret them in a story. wolverine, hulk, batman, superman, gl, are not supposed to be any way because they are fictional ideas whose base nature is to be subject to interpretations from various peoples.I just find this neccessary to say because you guys waste so much energy debating points that are too trivial for debate. If you don't like how someone interprets a character or writes a story then don't support. But it is an exercise in futility to say how companies can or cannot use their characters. They own them you do not. Do not get me wrong I love comic books. They can have some wonderful things to say, and truly make people think. I realize though, that it is fiction and all history that is fiction or even factual for that matter is subject to reinterpretation or retconning or what ever.
