My issue with Marvel

i never thought i stop buying marvel comics but i actually stopped around 2003 b/c i noticed a bad trend of writers that were on the rise.. then i started again last yr or so but, i only bought one or two comics i liked or simply bought the hard covers.. but, seriously stopped with the volume maybe i just saw through the marketing ploy or i simply couldnt stand my favorite characters being written so badly and inconsistently.. DC i gave them up decade ago mid 90's.. i mostly did it b/c bats was no longer in the shadows but a team member of the JLA... supes always in every story arc and simply being stronger tougher then the previous fight where he claimed to be going all out.... i only bought the Teen titan hardcovers even though i didnt like how they retconned my favorite character superboy.....

i think the last good stories that werent all crap was GL blackest night ,, Sins of youth and young justice... of course Lobo was a must but i never took him seriously nor part of canon DCU since his sh@# was always out the window

Superman is comic book mythology. When you talk about template 0 of of the modern superhero, you're talking Superman. He is more mythological in his relation with comics than any other hero.

Morrison recogizes that, and writes him as a modern and futuristic mythological figure.

No one makes you buy comics. I sat out the entire 1990's because I'd had enough of comics, and didn't come back until five years ago. There were points of brilliance in that decade - like the emergence of Alex Ross - but I caught up with them in my own time.

We told you Sentry was crap but you fell in love with him.

But he didnt have to be crap. When a character is written with as many inconsistancies as Sentry, the character is bound to be messed up. Jenkins would write him one way and Bendis would write him another. It was bound to implode. Why not have him study under Cap or something and gain control and confidence and be the powerhouse he should have been?

Maybe there wasnt room for him in Marvel comics, but if thats the case, I could name a page full of characters I think the same about.

As for Sentry getting killed, thats even ok for me if it was done in a decent fashion. Of course, it wasnt. Something a little more believable would have been better. Now, the only way he comes back is as a villian and I dont want to read that.

Back to Thor, he's Marvels flagship powerhouse character and he's one that they stole from a textbook. I've always felt spite towards that. oh well.

Marvel created him to be a shit character from the start.

He had like a 10 year run. Most shit characters dont get that kind of attention.

Its only because his fanboys wouldnt give up, they fed his shittyness.

I would have preferred if Bendis didn't get his grubby hands on Sentry, tbh. He has a penchant for ruining characters.

Screw Bendis all together.

Don't worry guys....Marvel will make it up to you by giving you more Deadpool...and more...more..and even more...
