>Marvel started releasing USM during the last week of every month so that the fake sales chart, the only one we get access to, would start showing USM lower in the rankings than ASM, because they were embarrassed that people liked Peter married to MJ>ASM #1000 gets released on September 30 to avoid the embarrassment of losing to a random non-landmark issue of Absolute Batman>Kelly will stay on ASM for multiple years>Lowe is moving to California>new EIC is part of Quesada's OMD mafiaHow does Marvel dig itself out of this hole?
>>155691633Firing Lowe's a good start
I've given up. We've had THREE fucking milestone issues go off like a wet fart, and a millennial issue that's.....I don't even know what. Nothing will change with the powers in charge
>>155691633Dogeza from everyone at Spoffice
>>155691633They make their money from the films; the comics are just a supplement to that. If a moviegoer buys it, great; if they don't, who cares.
It doesn't, it keeps digging until it reaches China and then licenses it out to them for an actual improvement.
>>155691633Stop being a schizo, learn to read things you enjoy and ignore those you don't.
>>155692042I can do both
New blood.But they have the equivalent of a religious doctrine preventing transplants, so they just wither on creativities death bed.
Kill Lowe
>#1000 has Raimi lore where Peter is cheated from his money when original had Peter just apatheticKELLYLOWEIT'S THE FIRST FUCKING ISSUE
>>155692519Yeah, it's also the only adaptation where that happens.
>>155692802The raimi movies keep retconning the comics because the editors don't read them.Like Normans entire relationship to Peter at present being because Willem Dafoe is charismatic.
>>155692042I don't read ASM. I enjoy modern comics more than 99% of the people on this board, and I even pay for it (through Marvel Unlimited and DCUI) but I only experience ASM through other people talking about it . There's nothing about current ASM that makes me want to read it.
>>155692906Bile fascination is the thing keeping interest in ASM for /co/ at this point.
>>155691953The problem is, if the comics aren't coming up with marketable ideas for movies and TV, why are they still making them? The comics division is still profitable, even if the margins aren't great, but Disney bought them as an IP farm and they can't even do that right.
>>155693008The amount of screenwriters needed to rinse the nonsense from things like BND and effectively just ignoring OMD does make it superfluous after a point.
>>155693008Because the core nerd identity is still "comic books". You're not a true manbaby if you don't consume whatever slop Marvel editorial sharts out alongside the movies.
>>155691633Amazing Spider-Man doesn't deserve a issue 1,000 milestone, it had like 7 different volume restarts throughout the years. The only one that deserved one was Action Comics, and even then, that New 52 bullshit ruined it's purity. Maybe One Piece is the better example?
>>155693448>Maybe One Piece is the better example?shut up
>>155693540He makes a good point; these things don't deserve to be recognized as having issue numbers in the thousands if they keep resetting every two or three years or retconning everything.And manga don't go overboard when they have thousands of chapters; at most, there are a few color pages or a single special cover.
>>155691633>How does a diseased animal rejoin the rest of the herdIt doesnt,it dies quickly and away from water sourceOnly books that I liked from marvel in last 5 years were punisher and moon knightYou cannot have a company based on 5 good books,80 shit books and ragebait mascot seriesI dont think that even Tom Kings batman was as shit as last 3 spider man runs were
>>155691633Stop talking about it. Let it enjoy an existence devoid of buzz, devoid of any kind of attention. Let it rot.
>>155693448They've been chasing landmarks ever since BND happened. That's the reason why a monthly title was turned trimonthly then bimonthly. Landmarks used to mean more than "Dan Slott has a shitty story in this!"
>>155695714Nobody is going to read this thread and run out to buy it
>>155695774This, there is no harm in shitposting the equivalent of a limping Morbius movie
>>155691633Eh
Did it get storytimed? I didn’t get to see it
>>155697008Yep.It was like a less entertaining group watch of The Room, just bile fascination across the board.
>>155697026Anything interesting on it ?
>>155691633USM sucked on it's own, no need to invent crazy conspiracies about it. The PeterMj part was the dullest part of the book for me.
Just let him have Jean already
>>155691633>How does Marvel dig itself out of this hole?Delete Miles Morales.
>>155697061It doesn't actually matter if it was good or not, it was proof that there is a lot of interest in the concept of Peter Parker as a married father. Far more interest than there is for the slop they've been shitting out in ASM.
>>155697049It is incredibly worse than I thought.>>>155667119
