So, Lady Deathstrike and Sabretooth confirmed for Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Maybe the Skinless Man is there, too.

It kind of sucks what Remender had to say about new characters. I felt that he was disappointed that new characters and stories are not getting the attention that they deserve. I guess I kind of feel his pain. Something like Sea of Red was pretty awesome, but I don't know if it was cancelled due to low sales or if it was a complete run.

Same thing with Fear Agent. I tried the first three issues of Fear Agent because it featured Moore art, but I have to be honest...I wasn't feeling it. I would definitely be interested if Remender were to be given something to do in the Icon imprint or if he were to do some stuff at Image.

Hey, tell that to the Sisterhood of Evil Mutants, buddy!

"I have a theory that nobody wants new characters in the Marvel comic books." Remender said. "They want to see the things they know dusted off, and made new, and the things they saw in the cartoons when they were a kid"

His statement really does reflect the sad reality with so many comics readers today.

On the other hand, the final Fear Agent book should be a great read. Re the omnibus, a nice softcover would be better than an oversized and overpriced hardcover.

Are they called the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and Sisterhood of Evil Mutants? Or, are they just the Brotherhood and the Sisterhood?
