Unfortunately, that is pretty accurate. Message to comic book writers: if you don't want a character dead, stop killing them.
lmao So true so true. Another thing about U.S. comic makers, stop spanning a story in 5 different series.
When Magneto died circa 1995 or so, that's when I considered the Marvel comics timeline to have ended. Forever. I vowed that day to never read another comic, and I haven't.
Marvel's actually stopped doing that, but now they are doing the exact opposite - having titles that rarely (if ever) mention major events that go down in the others (i.e. New York situation mentioned in the X-Men video, Spidey growing organic webshooters).
Yes, in a recent storyarc in Spectacular Spider-Man, but it has yet to be mentioned in any other title so its questionable whether it will actually be accepted as canon. He also gained an ability that lets him "listen" to bugs, but again, I don't know if that will even be referenced anywhere else.
The only time I recall Wolverine dying was in an alternate future where he got fried by an Sentinel. Sorry, I am old school...got tired of X-Men during "Fall of the Mutants".
haven't caught up in many years, but apparently the recent writer of the comic books had some tongue and cheek thing going on with marvel, according to this one literary analyst. http://www.comixtreme.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14416 requires much knowledge of the comics to understand.
If finality were ever introduced into comics/cartoons/etc then it'd be a pretty short lived storyline. the rugrats would be 28 by now.. and the simpsons kids would probably be collecting social security.. it's not like comic writers don't know that a new young audience is discovering the books for the first time every day.. and they're all unaware of the past, and mostly don't care.. but the old readers will still read anyway.. because they're fans.. even if there are logical loopholes everywhere
I like how the creator used a Canadian accent for Wolverine. I'm not entirely familiar with the details of all the comic book characters...but Wolverine isn't Canadian, is he?
For the most part comics suck these days anyway. The stories are horrible and price is just ridiculous. Thanks Todd McFarlane.
uhm . . actually he is or that is where he was found rather Rocket River Alpha Flight head Heather and James Hudson found him
The comics industry is currently in a superstar writer's age. A lot of what's complained about can be pinned to critically-acclaimed hack Brian Michael Bendis and his made-for-trade paperback pacing. It's also been trendy lately to bring in talent from outside of the comics world. While there can be good moves (J. Michael Stracynski, Kevin Smith), it's arguably pushing out writers that know and love the characters. But hey, just like the old Image guys, they sell a lot of books. What can ya do?
