In the case of X-Treme, it is a bloody god-awful, cheesy book with a cringe-worthy cast. Dazzler in the lead is a dodgy enough prospect, but when you throw in an Evo Nightcrawler rip-off -- a child version of an iconic, currently dead character -- and just toss in a generic, flat Wolverine to try and boost sales, what do you expect? I mean, who let this mountain of crap go to print? Gambit and Captain Marvel might benefit from guest appearances, as neither character is especially strong regarding carrying a solo.

With all the competition out there, you're comic has to be PHENOMENAL to even get noticed. Hawkeye is PHENOMENAL! Captain Marvel is good and Gambit is good, and I hope they last because I enjoy reading them. But there's a lot of "good" stuff out there and not a whole lot of money in people's hands.

I liked Captain Mavel's first issue, but not enough to commit $5.98 the following month to the two issues on the schedule. I do wonder how much of this is also due to double-shipping.
