Congrats to Ralph! He's always been my favorite editor!
An enjoyable interview with our new EIC! Good and well thought answers throughout!
Does this mean that Tom B is out of the interview chair for now?

Maybe there's a silent majority that tells Marvel what it wants outside of CBR's forums.
Johnny Storm was dead; who is this resurrected Johnny Storm?

As an Ultimate fan, this is exactly what I want to hear. Also, those preview pages look amazing. I can't wait for Ultimate Reborn to begin.- if a bomb explodes in one title, fans want to see the mushroom cloud in another. Under our current game plan, we're going to do just that.X-O Manowar. Harbinger. Bloodshot. Archer & Armstrong. Swamp Thing. Dial H. Captain Marvel. Hit-Girl. Saga. Prophet. Read my reviews of these and more at The Comic Book Couple!

Nice to see some Epting FF art! Can't wait for that.
Did not realize that Five Ronin had done so well for them. But I'm all for mini-series, as that seems to be the only place we'll get to see most of Marvel's characters.Last edited by Rheged; 08-12-2011 at 02:22 PM.

There certainly is. It's called SALES. That's why I let Marvel know what I want (and don't want) with my wallet, cause unlike some people, I don't expect Marvel to heed my every whim.

Maybe on the interweb stuff they know.

Funny that Alonso talked so much about not wanting to milk the Ultimate and FF franchise. Why the same doesn't apply to X-men an Avengers books?
Let's be honest. They don't launch more FF and Ultimate books because they know those franchises wouldn't support many books for too long. X-men and Avengers can, so Marvel launches as many series of those franchises as they possibly can.Top 3: Batman, Wonder Woman, X-force

But it's not like comic shops are ordering these books at random. They adjust their sales based on how a book's previous issues are sold, and they'll attempt to reorder a title that's selling much better than expected. Originally Posted by Sighphi

Wow so whats happening now mods? You're deleting negative posts on behalf of Marvel. Is that what this site has become now.

Voting with your wallet is pretty much ignored by Marvel these days. People can drop all the books they want, Marvel will still put make the writers of those books architects even if sales say it the fans think differently. Originally Posted by Rheged

My minuscule voice (which is still far more important than any complaints I post on these boards as far as Marvel is concerned) shows up in pre-orders from my LCBS to the distributor who then BUYS my favorites from Marvel.
