I imagine that Disney will further bloat their product line with some "Winnie the pooh" stuff and some movie tie-ins. Unlike Jason, I agree with your points. I *refuse* to buy anything epidosic because I want a self-contained story, and frankly, I'm not willing to commit my time/energy/money to something that might be shite.

1. Is this the best way to respond to a dwindling market? Give the people less to buy?

2. Yeah sure. They've stop promising stuff like that cause it doesn't happen.

3. The Spider-man books are extremely editorially controlled. As are the Avengers and the X-books. The editors are allowing writers to have a more free reign over the books, but I don't believe the writers get to do whatever. We don't see the veto'd stories.

4. Its called Marvel Adventures. I'd throw the Direct to DVD releases in this category as well.

5. This last comment epitomizes my problem with your problems with Marvel. You keep pointing out all these flaws in the books or Marvel's practices, but the bottom line is this: you don't like the stories.

Just say that. "They aren't for me. I don't like the direction they are taking." That I get. But you want to blame the guy's unloading the trucks at news stands for your disappointment in the books you used to like.

Have you checked out the Motion Comics yet? Have you even read a Brand New Day story? Or any of the Dark Reign stuff?

And when does Marvel get some kudos for even publishing a story about an aging journalist with cancer NOT painted by Alex Ross? I think Eye of the Camera definitely falls into your number two (literally and figuratively).
