thanks guys. |
Is that why people are giving you crap? Because it's your turn? Was it just your turn when almost nobody was complaining and it seemed you could do no wrong? |
Hey welcome to the board here!
Glad to see you started posting
Actually, the way I remember it, I think Brian got crap everytime he started a new series.
Usually before the first issue ever came out.
I remember this with Alias and Ultimate Spiderman. |

Not that I really want to get into this, but for the record:
I didn't take you up on your offer because I had a stack of comics I was taking into my LCS for trade, so I just threw them into the bag with the rest of the dross. By doing that, I get a discount on my comics for a few weeks, you don't have to deal with a return check or excess mail, and the shop I go to has more copies of a "hot" book to sell.
This way, everybody wins. _________________ You fuckers think just because a guy reads comics he can't start some shit? |

Thanks for the welcome!
The entire Ultimate line got crap. Not just Bendis. What do you expect with a concept such as that? A round of applause?
I don't remember any beef about Alias. Alias is probably the best series I've read since I started reading comics all those many years ago.
Sometimes the very concept of a new series sounds terrible. To me, New Avengers sounds terrible. It sounds like Secret Defenders. It sounds like something that could've/should've been done separate from Avengers. Am I wrong for stating that just because the book isn't out yet? It's stupid to think that people won't formulate an opinion early, especially when so much information is readily available for them to do just that. |

uh, when was that exactly? i must have missed it.
welcome to the board. |
B.
It seems like you & Millar take a lot of crap, but you also outsell most of the fellas in the biz. I guess it comes with the territory, eh? _________________ Blog! |

That's what I was getting at when I didn't quite understand why you bothered with the 'satisfaction guaranteed' thing. Who in his right mind would actually go through with demanding the money back just because he/she didn't like a particular story? I utterly despised Preacher's filthy, singleminded and hate-spewing philosophies, but would still look sideways at someone who got so riled up and in-your-face about it that he'd phone/mail Ennis and want his money back. It's a nice gesture, but seriously who wouldn't see this one coming?
Quote: | just some lovely mail, some lovely indy comics for me to read and three wanda figures and one hawkeye custom dead guy figure.
each figure coming with a lovely note of thanks. really nice. |
Was this meant in a sarcastic way?
Quote: | avengers fans are by far the most passionate on the planet. the continuing debate and the wildly different critique has been amazing. |
Oh there are far far scarier people around. Comparatively (to the kind of sadistic, self-righteous, murderous nuts I've seen around) the Avengers readers (Though I generally dislike the term 'fan'/fanatic. It's degrading people into a flock of subhumans and should only be used in extreme cases) seem rather thoughtful and civil (or at least from the responses I've read, which aren't that many to be truthful).
Quote: | also, the mighty dan b. called me friday with the final going to press numbers on new avengers. and wow. before and not including any variant covers, and i don't include them, its a staggering number. by a mile the best i've ever seen. probably the best i ever will. |
Yeah, but given the must-read event style hype, was this really unexpected?
Quote: | luke cage and jessica drew in a number one book! yay!!  |
I very much liked the back issues I read of PM&IF (Priest's run). Who managed to get you hooked on those characters? (Btw: Was Claremont the writer of Spider-Woman or was it someone else?)
Quote: | issue 2 numbers are equally stunning, which is a very good sign. |
That's true.
Quote: | issue one went to press and its so gorgeous. thank you guys so much, before hand, for giving the book a shot. |
Well, sure. It's something different and that's always interesting to me.
Quote: | the first whole year of the book, not even including house of m, is packed with stuff. lots gonna happen. and lots going on. |
It should be fun.

Hmm, I don't read many boards regularly except this one and some Newsarama topics, but I think Wizard and forehand information to the stores is mostly responsible for getting retailers and readers interested.
Quote: | powers: forever trade numbers are the highest preorders we've even had, adding to my other theory that monkey fucking = $$  |
Or because lots of stuff was happening and people were anxious to quickly read the conclusion you were building towards.
Quote: | thankfully there is more than enough people who are reading and enjoying and looking toward the future. |
Sure, you seem well suited to write the kind of stuff coming up, so it should be nice.
No problem, but please try not to dismiss the more sensible critisism. Not everyone who found plot holes was an irrational, rabid lunatic. _________________ Recommended Reads:

I may not have liked Chaos, but I am definitely looking forward to New Avengers.
I'll be sure to let you know what I think of it. _________________ -- J. R.
