MATT FRACTION's Post-Fear Itself Marvel Universe

[D3athstroke]

Why is this idiot still not fired from Marvel >?

[BLINK4444]

@D3athstroke Because I buy every book he puts out and think the man is a genius. as well as a lot of other people considering businesses stay afloat by making money. If he was the plague for sales, he wouldn't have a job. People like his work, so stop condescending to the people who like him. I'll wager that I can give better reasons for why I think he's good, then why you think he is bad.

The worst writer in the world telling us how he's going to destroy other Marvel comics?

[kierand1988]

@Timasion No.

[BLINK4444]

@Timasion I have liked everything he's done up to this point. thought fear itself was at the worst a B grade event, the biggest flaw being that it works great in trade and very poorely in direct market. Regardless I'll take that wonderful 7issue marathon read to a shallow event book that works well monthly.

@BLINK4444 With all due respect, I cannot see how anything he's done has been enjoyable. From what I've read, his writing contains a serious flaw in that it doesn't make a lot of sense. Fear Itself, for example, really had no point. Given the title, one would think that the heroes would confront their greatest fears. But, instead, we are shown 8 people with big hammers running around destroying things until Thor kills "the Serpent." (continued)

@BLINK4444 (from previous) While everyone in the story kept saying how hopeless the situation was, I thought back to times when the Avengers faced greater threats (Secret Invasion, Infinity War, Galactic Storm, Onslaught, Inferno, Acts of Vengeance). I never got the sense that things were as hopeless as we were told.

He never makes that necessary connection between what's happening and why people are doing it. Acts seem random and without form.

@Timasion Really? I didn't see Judd Winick or Daniel Way in this video anywhere.

Cool. Reminds me of The Silence. I'm a DC fan but I tried new X-men where Logan set up the mutant academy. I'm excited to see where you go, I'm glad Matt's trying to mix up his comfort zone. Same reason I'm trying Marvel. Good luck.
