	headdesk Of course, I thought he was on his way out as far back as OMD. He's not happy with that. And apparently he was upset about having to deal with some big Thor-related crossover planned, "Siege of Asgard." If he must be replaced, my choice is Fraction, who's done good work with the character. (Reply to this)

	Triple motto. I'm hoping that if Bill becomes the newest Marvel superhero, they'd name him Sergeant Southwest, Tornado Belt Bill, or somesuch. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Fuck Joe Q. Seriously. How anyone in their right mind could fuck over JMS the way he has is mind-boggling. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Is he though? My impression was that JMS was really busy with other things and didn't really have time for comics (hence the Twelve being in eternal limbo) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	"The best Marvel comic on the stands" So they're killing it, of course. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sometimes I find myself tempted to only read mediocre but popular books, so I won't have to suffer through cancellations. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Ah, damn, I would have liked to see where JMS was going. Oh, well, Marvel saves me yet more money -- that was the last regular Marvel comic I was buying. I'll buy Reborn for love of the character, but I confidently expect Marvel to fuck it up, so I doubt that will last for long.

I still vividly remember staring at Civil War #7 and going "*wow*, you guys really don't want my (nasty liberal) money, do you?" and it's been amazingly true as my Marvel list dropped to substantial to one to now, nothing.

	Oh well, looks like I can finally stop to grudgingly enjoy a Thor comic. That felt really weird anyway. A conclusion to The Twelve would also be very nice, thank you. (Reply to this)

	Not surprised. Among other things, look at the schedule, and the increased amount of work he's been doing at DC. Depending on his replacement, getting a comic that comes out on something resembling a monthly schedule might be nice. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Not sure on that one. JMS might be a flake (and I thought Babylon 5 had only a couple good seasons) but he was what I read Thor for. His replacements on Supreme Power have been destroying all my reasons for reading that title. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	As much as I hate delays, I was willing to live with it for the sheer quality of Thor (even after the slow start). It's a rare comic you can actually savour every page. Knowing Marvel they'll turn it into a train wreck now like everything else good. (Reply to this)
