But I still pick up comics:
Gold Digger, for the American list
and I'm liking Rumiko Takahashi's new book Rin-ne, looks much less saga-rific than Inu Yasha was, a step back to the Ranma days.

But still. Good comics that never done no wrong are hurting!
Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

I'm also going to take a chance at the opportunity I just noted in this statement to suggest my own books, they're novels and short stories rather than comics, but Bystander at least was originally conceived for comics.

more power to you for your choice, and i dont mean to come across like im belittling the option to simply not pick titles up. but id just like to note that the event that caused you to stop reading them was so long ago, it might be worth picking up some of the current crop to see if they're worth getting. but this is just me trying to get more folks to read the stuff i like so it doesn't get canceled. |

Yeah, I'm the same way. I'll tolerate all sorts of plot inanity, but a counter-intuitive detail like that bugs the heck outta me.
In this case, my impression is that Q and co. may have no idea were they will be going with any given idea when they initially farm it out to the production teams.

I mean Betty Ross Banner was killed by the Abomination to get at Bruce. Why would she be acting like a total evil being when she comes back? Would she not want her revenge on Igor? It was her death that triggered Banner's fall from grace that helped get him booted and tricked off this planet. Wait... sorry Logic. This is Joe Q's Marvel, an artist who is not a writer. My bad. It has to look cool and make no sense. |

If Bendis gets his mitts on Marvelman when they bring him into the main universe, I'll be down to a couple X-Books (Uncanny, Legacy, X-Men and Namor) then possibly Thunderbolts and Daredevil (pending Shadowland fallout anyway). That's a fraction of what I was getting a couple years ago.
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.
