Heroes as licensed commodities. Egos. Backstabbing. Dirty deals. Hey - aren't heroes supposed to y'know, save the world?

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby changed the comic stratosphere in the 1960s with the introduction of the X-Men and Avengers. The JLA and JSA have been fighting the good fight, triumphing against their adversaries and undergoing personal losses at the same time.

Is this really worth a new thread? Isn't there already enough places for proplr to express their disappointment at Chuck Austin's ongoing career? Shouldn't people who aren't liking his comics just not buy his stuff already and get on with reading something else instead?

Nope, I reckon we should continue to slag him off.
