Honestly I think more than anything, the internet's proven more damaging than Disney (or maybe it's a combination of the two). It's fantastic that other people's voices are being heard, but I feel that a week or so of "trending" on Twitter will now lead to a character getting their own brand spanking new awesome series!! Only to be cancelled four issues later.

This influx of new series which sprout up everywhere has good intentions, but all of these will inevitably get cancelled because no-one can afford to pick up 22 new comics a month.

My only problem with Marvel now is that they are FAR too jittery to get to the next best new thing. As another poster said it's the same with editors, who allow every writer to do whatever they want regardless of continuity or respect to the characters (Spider-Man and the X-Men, anyone?)

On a related note, just picked up an Ares BAF on Ebay. It blew a hole in my wallet, but I really enjoy Ares in the comics (flashy shouting axe wielder may be a part of that) and have wanted the figure for a good few years, so I can't wait for him to get here!
