I'm quite comfortable with this, his obsession with "fixing" Spider-Man into the realms of irrelevancy aside, the "Heroic Age" and previous movie and animated projects are depicting characters more faithfully again, which was probably the only way Quesada could get his foot in the door this way

Crap. The last thing marvel needs is more Quesada.

"It's magic! I don't have to explain ****!"

"It's magic! I don't have to explain ****!"

Works for DC.

Depends, as blah as Prelude to Blackest Night/Blackest Night was it was still miles better than Marvel's Dark Reign and Siege events. At least DC tries to explain some of it's ass backwards stuff (Speed Force in The Flash: Rebirth)

 

[Impulse87]

yeah that is true, but right now my problem with DC is their tendency to move backwards in terms of storytelling. I mean it's like we're in the silver age again

 

[Arkvoodle]

...who in the hell does he keep blackmailing to get promoted like this?

I'd much rather deal with DC's Silver Age love(which really doesn't go far outside of Geoff Johns), than Marvel's idiocy in pretty much every book and the nonstop whoring of Wolverine and Deadpool. Is it really needed to have them appear in that many books? It's not even logical, in any form, for Wolverine to have enough time to split between the sheer amount of teams he's on.

 

[Skiks]

Isn't he the reason we get these useless crossovers every year?

 

[Dr. No Good]

DC has a plan all Marvel seems to do these days is mess things up.

No, I refuse to argue with you people again. >_< People keep saying this and I stand up for DC, and then ANOTHER decision is made which shoots them further back to the Silver Age. (Latest of these: All things concerning the Atom.)

Also, re: Speed Force...that's the first time ANYONE'S told me they liked Rebirth's explanation.
