Quote: Darknight613 said: Getting back on topic, I once asked what it would take to get you guys into a brand new comic book series, made by first-time writers and artists, and starring all new characters.
Well, DK, I gave two examples above, but I'll list more as we go.
YOUNG AVENGERS #1 has a team of virtual unknowns on the book, and brand-spankin' new characters.
NEW AVENGERS # 4 has an art team I've never seen before, teamed with a writer I've previously hated in every previous sampling of his work I've purchased.
Quote: Darknight613 said: Considering everybody's misgivings towards modern comics and with rising prices, what would make you want to start reading that title, and what would it take to keep you coming back every month for the next issue?
Quality, pure and simple.
I was very reluctant to purchase ANY Marvel comic because of the profanity, bad-attitude and vulgarity I've seen over the last 4 years or so.
But I still look through a number of their books every month, purchase a few of those and am often disappointed.
I read the first 4 pages of YOUNG AVENGERS # 1 on the stand, liked it a lot, and after gettng home and reading all 22 pages, I was very pleased that I purchased it, that it was so consistently good from start to finish.
Likewise, although I have a general distaste for Marvel under Quesada's editorial leadership, and hate Bendis' work pretty consistently, I saw what I was looking for in NEW AVENGERS # 4.
If it, or any other book, continues to display the fun-factor and other qualities I've described, I'll keep buying.

There shouldn't be a "risk" involved when clicking a thread and not knowing whether it's an actual deep thought/ issue/ event or just another flame war/ food fight/ playground.
.
The sign simply means, post what you want and when you want to, as long as it belongs in this forum, don't abuse the privileges, there is a line drawn somewhere.

Why, then, should one limitless off topic/offensive forum not be enough? I've used it, too.
