Hey, I don't know. Are you the fellow that hates Igor Kordey? He's an excellent artist in my opinion.
I apologise (slightly) for the tone of my last post, but you did seem bent on shorting everything I had to say in a manner that wasn't open to dialogue. Ellis' 'Excalibur' had a beginning, middle and end. As Morrison's NXM will. 'Dark Phoenix' does - it's in a tpb. Or 'From the Ashes'. What goes on afterward need not devalue these things in and of themselves.
I thought it slightly presumptuous of you to speak for everyone here, stating that 'we don't' like fictional universes. I don't buy franchises, personally, although some teenage kid that wasted a lot of money inside me was thrilled to hear about New X-Men when it was announced. I have not been disappointed.
I'm not saying they're faultless by any stretch of the imagination (DCU, MU.) Bear in mind, Planetary is part of the Wildstorm Universe, too. However, the idea of all these thousands of books accumulating to one whole entity, independent of any single vision is, to me, conceptually exciting.
A lot of the faults you mention are also nowhere to be seen at New Marvel, truth be told.
Anyway, I was defending a site, which on first look, had me thinking in a similar fashion to yourself, but that somehow became compelling to me. And who's residents are nowhere near the caricature you have painted of them. I enjoy going and fighting my corner aganst a consensus there. Viral tec, remember?
(*petulantly*) Hey, man, it's a free world - and you can't stop me. |
