@king_nomarch: Yep they are super smart and are now the huge green rage machine known as Hulk. Oh yeah and the fact that at the beginning of their time as the Hulk they each have someone with them (Bruce had Rick Jones and Cho has his sister). But yeah there are differences like age and one is Korean.....Yep HUGE differences. Miles is a complete rip off of Peter, he tries to be snarky like Peter and as for if he's stupid enough to sell a marriage to the devil, he's not as smart as Peter so he would be, because if you remember in OMD Peter didn't even ask what he was selling to get Aunt May back. Hell I bet if Mephisto would have showed up in the Ultimate universe when Miles' mom died (cause in the Ultimate series his mom died and now magically she's alive again just like Aunt May in OMD...another similarity) he would have sold anything to bring her back.
Miles' title is not better than Mosaic's, Mosaic is original and has actual depth of character beyond "I'm black". I agree I don't care for the art that much, but I feel like Mosaic's art is on par with Miles' I'm personally not a fan of most of the art in newer comics, I liked the older stuff from back in the 80's and 90's but art is subjective and as long as the story is good and I can tell what is going on in panel I will usually not care if the art isn't exactly my style.
Mosaic was far from dull, the idea that a man's father was using him since he was a child and his girlfriend was running around behind his back, and that he has the power now to jump into the minds of anyone including other heroes or villains is amazing vs Miles who has stolen every power he has (all the basic Spider-man powers, plus Jessica Drew's venom blast, plus the Venom power of cammo) because nothing Miles done is original he is literally a black version of Peter. I agree that Mosaic had horrid sales and nobody cared about him, but that isn't because of the comic that is because of Marvel's failure to handle him correctly. None of the PC books are "better" than Mosaic and America....Oh God how is that even still on shelves they could literally cut that one off in the middle of this story line kill the character off and make Marvel comics 25% better right there.
Mar-vel was amazing, he has made so many returns hell even in the 2010's he's made a come back just to sacrifice himself because he's a great hero. Though I could also see them turning Genis-Vell from a villain into a hero and have him take the title because he wants to live up to his father...
Rere is garbage, she is a coward and weak and she is a moron. He let her attack because she is weak and pathetic. And YES him letting her attack him makes her weak and pathetic he wouldn't have told Stark to do this because he knows that Stark would have made the shot count and ended the situation though Stark wouldn't have held 1 pose for half the book, once Stark found out that Doom was just sitting there with no malice Stark would have maintained preparedness but relaxed his posture. It absolutely has to do with how powerful she is, because Doom had no wish to die trying to see his vision so if he thought she was capable he wouldn't have done it, he's a genius unlike Rere.
Johnny is the REAL Ghost Rider, Carter Slade is the old west GR but his is not supernatural based, it is more based on light refraction and being able to trick enemies, similar to how magicians make things happen but that doesn't mean that you actually had a quarter behind your ear that was just a trick. They have already established that Carter is dead within the GR series of comics, the two have met and worked together on multiple time traveling story lines so why would you bring back Carter....yeah he wouldn't hold up in today's landscape of heroes I mean you basically have Moon Knight who is what Carter was minus the horse.
Logan is better off alive and getting rid of X-23. Honestly I liked OML as a short mini-series but the current run of OML is not that good, I would like to see Wolverine return and see how he interacts with OML. Plus bringing him back can cutting X-23 back to where she belongs as a supporting character will allow Marvel to tell a good story with returning OML to his proper time/world and cut one more book out of their long list of books they publish monthly allowing them to focus on quality over quantity.
1) getting rid of the PC agenda characters will save Marvel because those are the reason they lost a lot of the classic fans. If Marvel makes it a serious apology to the fans and kill off all the PC crap they will possibly win back some (not necessarily all) of the older guys who quit reading who will in turn bring their kids into the Marvel family reading books. Hell I know for me that I will buy 10 copies of the book that kills Miles Morales for myself plus get a copy for each of my kids and for my nieces and nephews. And I haven't bought a Marvel book since Marvel started all this crap with race swapping, gender bending and PC agenda pushing. Hell I was ok with the Ultimate Universe having a black Nick Fury because it was a different universe, I would have been ok with Miles had they done the story where instead of Peter being Spidey in that Universe they just had Miles get the powers, I would have been ok if they would have had Peter being Spidey and Miles becomes his sidekick after being turned to crime by his uncle and getting caught by Peter but the story they told was a Peter's Uncle Ben and Miles is Peter version of Peter's story and then fast forwarded through the whole "I'm quitting" story arc of Peter's with Miles.
2) The only person who is a bigger fool than the people running Marvel would be people who like Miles or any of the PC characters, because they are all garbage. The PC characters have not been amongst Marvel's better selling titles Unworthy Thor sold better than Mighty thor, Mighty thor outsold most of the other PC books but Amazing Spider-Man consistently out sold all the PC books. hell she only sold 37,000 units last month which is middle of the road for Marvel. Iron Man was selling about 37,000 units now they are down to 31,000. Infamous sold at 27,000 last month. Oh I realize how many bad titles Marvel has staring white characters also, but the reality is that the first step in fixing Marvel is to cut the number of titles (they had 92 titles sold last month) because when you put out that much stuff people are not going to buy all of it, hell most will not be buying 1/2 of it so focus on quality over quantity (which I've stated numerous times) and part of that quality over quantity is getting rid of the PC crap. If Marvel was only putting out 30-40 books a month and most of them were REALLY good (Amazing Spider-man, Infamous Iron Man) and then they decided to put out Mosaic then fans would be more willing to give it a look and Marvel should do the first issue at a reduced price to incentive people to pick it up.
3) If I could get my hands on Marvel for 1 year I could easily fix their slump because I have no agenda beyond making Marvel great again. I don't want to see rip off 2nd rate wanna-bes pretending to be heroes.
Ohhh interesting idea take Miles and kamala and turn them into villains then miles can take on the title Tarantula like the 3 guys before that had that title....and kamala could be a new villain for the Fantastic Four when they come back.
