most of the excitement in my job has been replaced with much frustration. The guys in charge seem more interested in ratings than journalism. ... ultimately I think my conscience is out weighing my want of job security. Man, do I hear that. Back in the late 1990s I was a copy editor at a newspaper....

in general, I just don’t connect with the philosophy or raison d’etre behind modern comics. As I have stated elsewhere, if this makes me a dinosaur and ultimately unemployable I am prepared to accept the consequences but I really only want to do the kind of work I like. As a reader, I don't think I...

LOL! Certainly, take your time. Several alternate timelines, if need be. *chuckle*

Well, somewhat. We kind of have something like it in MC-2 (whose continuity spins out of the Marvel of the 1990s -- so in that world, not only are Peter and MJ still married, with their daughter as Spider-Girl, but Johnny Storm is still with Lyja, Thunderstrike's son is in the current version of the...

This also allows for permanent change that actually matters. So for instance if Magneto reforms, or dies, we can see a different approach later on but with a different Magneto (just as we have different ones in the two animated series, the movies, the Ultimate Universe and so on), rather than changi...

Here is my theory: The problem with happy endings is that they are endings. If every story ended happily, Marvel would probably be out of business. Since their stories are all continuous, rather like TV soap operas, they have to keep going with the angst and the drama. Oh, absolutely! I think they'...

Oh, no need to apologize. It's a quite lovely image, and I thank you for it. :P Actually, depending on how you look at continuity, Logan did end up with Ororo in the end. I'm weird. I can't see the current storylines fitting in the same universe as the storylines of the 1990s or even the early 2000s...

Okay, I don't have my issue yet as I get them through mail order, but you have me really curious now...

Dear Alan, Just a quick note to say THANK YOU re not only bringing back Clan Destine, but also in making sure it's set in the past . I'm taking a break from angsting about the current overall direction of Marvel Comics, but I don't think their mainstream world is much fun to read right now, and I'm ...

I had a totally different image from the title of this thread in my head... (Cue old-time soap opera music) "Will Ororo break up Logan and Kurt? Tune in tomorrow, dear viewer...)

(And Logan adds new meaning to the term "slash fiction"...)
