Now ...Well at least they didn't dissappoint...<br /><br />Now Marvel Tease The Return Of The Human Torch<br /><br />There’s an October solicitation for a Fantastic Four poster by Joe Quesada that is blacked out in the Marvel Previews. Which is really handy for shops thinking about ordering it.<br /><br />Well, I think this is it. The cover to Fantastic Four #600, presumably. And it was blanked out for a reason.<br /><br />(Submitted by Rich Johnston on August 10, 2011 – 11:47 am)<br /><br />Mike D in NYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036549690500270056.post-44504649557135411302011-08-08T19:39:28.854-05:002011-08-08T19:39:28.854-05:00Mike D - you're correct, of course. If the bi...Mike D - you're correct, of course. If the big publishers want to put some spice back into the death thing, somebody needs to get dead for real, and this would have been an excellent place to start. There are many concepts that Marvel fails to grasp, but top of the list is "Law of Diminishing Returns". Honestly, the Ultimate Universe should be used to create new properties. That's also obvious. But Marvel won't do it because it's stuck in "everything old must be new again" mode, and no creator wants to develop The Next Big Thing so that a corporate giant can rape all the spoils.<br /><br />Keith - Really, the only difference between this move and Miguel O'Hara is that there was no widescale internet or Peter Parker 2099 to bump off to make room for him. So Miles is spinning right into the teeth of conservative Peter Parker sentiment and "sick of stunty death" sentiment. There was no sense that anything had been "taken away" when O'Hara hit, but mucking with Peter Parker seems sacrilegious to a loud and vocal few.Chronic Insomniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03556955611235055093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036549690500270056.post-19615000992205520432011-08-08T16:52:48.672-05:002011-08-08T16:52:48.672-05:00Does anybody remember that Spider-.an 2099 is name...Does anybody remember that Spider-.an 2099 is named "Miguel O'!Brien"?!? With a Latino mother and an Irish father, this whole Miles Morales thing seems kinda old hat to me.

Peter Parker died, the character went with him. If they want Miles Morales to be an ethnic Superhero, why can't they give him his own Identity, his character, his own "stuff". I'm not opposed to an ethnic character, but I also think this is why Comics can't move forward and tell new and exciting stories. They'd rather have the new and exciting thing be that Spider-Man is now a "Blacktino". Bring on Blankman if you ask me!<br /><br />Mike D in NYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036549690500270056.post-37273224348066348622011-08-07T06:53:45.741-05:002011-08-07T06:53:45.741-05:00Great post, Ryan.
