Since, what, Battle of the Atom, the X-books […]
Now I know I often talk about Marvel Comics in less than glowing terms. As always, it is not because of the books. I love the books they put out. I love the characters. I love the writers and artists. I want to sell lots and lots of Marvel Comics. I just don’t like how […]
