Re: Money, money
The matter of being able to support one-self is an interesting topic rarely handled well in modern comics. Author and critic Samuel Delany once commented that the lack of attention to livelihood and other details of real existence contribute to the "thinness" of many genre characters. Part of the appeal of the original Spiderman and Fantastic Four comics was that such considerations WERE part of the running stories and characters (mostly in the former). These days, sending the penniless FF to work is a gimmick, when once it was something that added dimensions to the books.
I would really like to see how ShangChi survives at all. I kinda envison him going about like the Stephen Chow character in SHAOLIN SOCCER, offering kung fu lessons to pedestrians.
