I've seen snippets in interviews posted at Scans Daily and haven't seen satisfactory quotes.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Still, I did find something very funny in regards to continuity and Chuck Austen's run on X-Men which brought a smile to my face.<BR/><BR/>http://community.livejournal.com/<BR/>scans_daily/1291233.html<BR/><BR/>Yes, this is a 2006 entry. I'm seeing some interesting stuff in the archives section that are entertaining and educational.

My head hurts. I knew there was a lot of stuf...Wow. My head hurts. I knew there was a lot of stuff going on in the Marvel U, but I didn't realize how convoluted it was until I read all that. Its as if Joe Q just threw a giant wrecking ball into everything and just continued to flail away at the controls widely.<BR/><BR/>As for Secret Invasion, I called it months ago, the event would be used to screw up even more stuff and recton bad writing. <BR/><BR/>I heard Luke Cage and Jessica's marriage was axed for some lame reason. When I get married, my wife isn't going anywhere near Joe Q at a comic con.<BR/><BR/>Amazing Spider-Man? Does anyone, even Marvel know what the eff is going on with that book? I'm sorry but this 12 year old trapped a 25 year old body is not Spider-Man. I didn't even Byrne-Steal the latest issues because I stopped caring. We've got superior Spidey titles to read.Reggie White Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10467336468770627457noreply@blogger.com
