Because their current books suck save for a few handful of titles. Their business practices also piss everyone off, how they purposely get people mad for interest. Muh MCU. They no longer appeal to the older fans anymore, which is also a massive kick to the balls. That about covers it.

sales desperation, movie synergy, events, Bendis, Ike the Kike..

Godamn, I dont even buy comics that I like from Marvel anymore, that company is disgusting and doesnt deserve one cent from me. It literally goes on its way to shit on the fanbase and consumers, and expect to be rewarded for it.

Wait until they give it to Bendis or Hopeless. Just because your character is safe does not silence the rants of those whose character has been shitted upon.

A good book or 5 of them does not reedem your precious Marvel from this shitstorm of a decade.

I have Infinity, but I've yet to open it. I've been trying so hard to find something to get into but I've been left with nothing but bland heroes. I can't say too much because the only other comics I have are Batman and Hellboy, and Green Lantern: Rebirth. I also own a bunch of older floppies of Uncanny X-Men like the super size X-Men vs Magneto and Death of Professor X issues that my uncle gave me forever ago.

I want to like Marvel, I really do but it's just so hard to find a decent footing.

>>87152734
Harmful business practices. They (the comic book industry in general) strong armed LCS so they can't return unsold comics like every single bookstore can do, and then Marvel specifically used that to push incentive/exclusive variants to further harm LCS.

You know how we had to hear about the awful thing that Scott did, but never actually saw any details on what he did? That's what Death of X is. If you believed it was literally killing off all mutants you have some reading comprehension issues bro.

Gotta to agree with that. With the amount of comics out there you're never going to like everything from a publisher.
>>
I hate the constant event cycle.
I stopped reading the post-Secret Wars books I was reading (New Avengers, Ms. Marvel, Doctor Strange, Ultimates) because they were getting tied into events or cross overs.

I felt like I might jump back in, but wouldn't you know it Civil War 2 started up putting books back into event hell.

Also, Rebirth has taken over my pull list. I can buy more books that I enjoy with DC's $2.99 price point too.

And yet you felt the need to make a thread defending the "honor" of a company that doesn't give a shit about you.

I think it's more likely you're crying than laughing.

I can't be bothered with a universe centered around Civil War 2, X-Men being used to push Inhumans, and Spider-Man re-treading the fucking Clone Saga.

Stuff like Vision, Cage!, Carnage, etc. that I'm still pulling is slim pickings.

Today? Today I hate Marvel because they announced they're walking back their "Fuck The X-Men" editorial direction, but without announcing the new creative teams. As though they can win readers back by throwing a few titles out instead of saying anything of substance. We don't even know which Iceman or which Jean Grey will headline their solo books.

They're trying to coast on raw nostalgia and that worries me. That they don't understand that book announcements are worthless without talent or plots or characters.

I'm bracing myself for an X-Men line of mediocre-to-bad writers and artists because of it.
>>
>>87154039
I think Chavez is a pretty bad character, but I also think Marvel has worse characters.
Everyone has one character from Marvel they feel nothing but hate for.

Why are they doing the shittest stories at their disposal? Granted, they shouldn't be retreading at all.

>>87152734
I hate how Marvel panders to the crazy demands of /co/'s ultraconservative trolls.
The whole "bring back the '90s X-Men" thing was obviously inspired by /co/'s meme campaign.
Marvel's Carol-pushing might have a little something to do with the twenty threads a week that /co/ makes about her.
The in-jokes about Bendis and internet culture that show up in the books...
Even Hydra-Cap reeks of /pol/ meme-pushing gone horribly wrong.

The House-Of-Ideas is using our ideas! And our ideas suck!
>>
>>87156122
I don't think meme magic is that strong.
>>
>>87153240
Is Bendis under his authority or is it the other way around? The fact that this two along with Slott and Hopeless resides in Marvel and handles main titles is depressing.
>>
>>87156169
Well just write down the memes of today on a post-it, and in six months look to see if Marv' has stolen any of them.
That's all the confirmation we'll need.

Allow me to add that Marvel doesn't license decent Video Games anymore. There doesn't seem to be a functional E.I.C. at the rudder. The Villains are so toothless & lame that retarded heroes infighting are the only thing that Marvel can muster for crossover events.

I won't go on. Marvel is more entertaining as a slow moving trainwreck than as a producer of printed media.
>>
>>87155372
they probably haven't announced teams yet because they don't know yet, this is clearly an editorial push, fucking Iceman, the perennial background character, is getting a solo series

Brevoort sometimes sends corrections if neccesary (if you can find it, he posted his notes to Bendis' first draft where he or another editor had to correct Bendis' characterization of Agent Brand). I think at one point years later Brevoort sad they just allowed Bendis to do his own thing and hope he got it right.
>>
>>87155898
Civil War, for all its problems is still a top seller for Marvel each year. Plus on top of that the movie was out this year, so they rushed Civil War II to tie-in. Instead it might actually be harming the sales of other titles.

No, buy the good stuff, ignore the bad stuff. Eventually the only stuff they make money on, is the good stuff.
Then they will begin to focus on that.

Also, like what you like and let others do the same.

>>87155418
Have you ever considered that you have grown and the target audience remain what it's always been?
Meaning, you may have grown past this kind of comics?

Perhaps it's time to read stuff that is a tad more mature?
Leave the younger readers to enjoy the stuff you no longer enjoy - move on.
