You should really be less ragingly xenophobic and try reading some of Virgin's comics. There are the good and the bad, no worse than the grind Marvel/DC continue to churn out. Although the decided lack of men-in-tights could be a problem for your average whiny comic fan. “Because it is crap from India.”

Virgin. India based type of legendary crap that will sell there. None of the books sell. Is there anyone out there that has brought a Virgin book? Retailers don't order them, or if they do, save them for Free Comic Day where a the end of the day all what is left, you guessed it. Because it is crap from India. Stan I love your writing, loved some of the books that you did even with DC, but lately... Just take your millions, sit back and relax. It is time Stan. It's OK. If you had to go back to write comics, go to Dark Horse, BOOM!, Viper, Tokyopop, Viz, even Image, co-create something with Allan Moore for God sake, or go back to MARVEL or DC, write a webcomic, please not Virgin! I can smell it now. Stan still is the Man, not at Virgin. Stan now has gone to a new low. Virgin. India based type of legendary crap that will sell there. None of the books sell.

Kirby created the Marvel universe, was unfairly compensated and is still under-credited. Rather than fueling an entire entertainment industry as Kirby did, everyone seems to know that this Lee project will simply burn up Virgin's initial investment and then will disappear quickly.

Of course, it depends a lot on the artists involved. Stan won't necessarily be doing the writing (it says "editor" above), so I'm wondering who the writers will be also.

Maybe the evolution is the problem and not Stan's lack of it. When comics are $3 average for 24-32 pages of mostly splash panels. No wonder an entire story can't be told in a single issue anymore. previous mention (at least indirectly) that the world of comics had evolved and Stan had not.

It didn't do very well. I believe most of the criticism was that the world of comics had evolved and he didn't. But I wish him the best of luck anyway.

I do like the fact that this is a new universe (I'm always supportive of such endeavors), although I do find I have doubts as to how well he'll succeed in differentiating this from the Avengers he wrote.
