WHEN THE FUCK WAS THIS ANNOUNCED HOW THE FUCK DID IT HAPPEN WHO THE FUCK DO I BLAME FOR THIS ATROCITY AGAINST GOD AND NATURE

Marvel Editorial thought Secret Empire was a better idea for an event than Eternity War.
They were wrong.

HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES HAVE WE HAD THE "WHY IS [X] STILL IN PUBLICATION WHEN THE SALES ARE SO VERY SHIT" CONVERSATION THAT'S NO FUCKING EXCUSE
>>95311553
WHY NOT FUCKING BOTH
THEY TIME EVENTS TO THE MOVIES ANYWAY I DIDN'T EXPECT ETERNITY WAR UNTIL 2018/19
This pisses me off. Ultimate was one of their best titles. Meanwhile, America is selling under 10,000 and hasn't been canned, yet. It's almost as if Marvel is trying to pump out garbage to its readers.
Is Marvel even a business anymore?

>It's already selling worse at Nova was at #7 and is at least going to issue 10
>>95311431
Ewing!
>>95311431
It sold like shit, that's what happened. Considering you clearly weren't actually buying it, you have no one to blame for this but yourself.

>tfw bought floppies of every single issue for ultimates and nova but it wasn't enough
>>95312987
...Nova was cancelled too?
>>95313661
Nova's first issue only sold 30k if you don't count the 100% overship. By issue 3, it was selling lower than Sam's run was selling at issue 30. And it was cancelled months ago, where have you been?
>>95313074
Fuck you with a rake, I still bought every issue. On release no less. Just didn't get around to reading them until recently.
>>95313661
since like June or July, yes
he's gonna be appearing in GotG though, and it's gotten pretty good. Even Robbie Rider is going to be showing up

On a sabbatical from comics. This was already established.
It got a decent ending that wrapped up the plot. What else do you fucking want?
>>95313743
>going to be showing up
But anonhe's already shown up.

Another year of publications & a full-scale event. :(
Various nitty gritty details too. Some pure wishful thinking like Tiamat & Eternity's various kids, some hinted at by Al himself like Adam Warlock & the Vell family & a multiversal composite Death. Even if we're just talking substantial content, I expected fucking follow-up on Thanos & his new waifu.
Since starting this thread I've read the finale and I'll give you that; it was beautifully done. But that's partly because of how very tragic it was that it was being rushed out in a monthly instead of given room to breath & a worthy podium. Some of the quotes in there are SO fucking bittersweet given the existing context.
It's Kieron Gillen's final issue of Journey Into Mystery all over again, except that one DID get events & crossovers & all the hype it earned before kicking you in the balls with the metanarrative. And Ewing wasn't even snarky about it! He executed his orders with a smile on his face & a message of hope! He deserves better.
Everything that isn't movie or legacy pandering died. USAvengers is also kill in December.

And here I was thinking that'd continue because 'MURICA and adopt some plotlines.
