Right now though, they're losing loyal fans with revamp after revamp and status-quo change after status-quo change.

Truthfully I think the only difference between myself and those who aren't a fan of these diverse legacy characters (yourself included Nite, but obviously I'm not targetting you, just speaking with you), is that I'm alright having a look at any series, and if they take my fancy and I can afford it, I'll buy it. If Thor happens to be Jane Foster in it, or Logan is an older, alternative one, that's fine with me! On the opposite side, if someone doesn't like that, that's cool too, because it'll probably change in five years' time.

Oh and thanks! The Jean Grey statue is a custom using the old Hasbro Marvel Girl figure.

Ah i didnt take any offense or anything von. Its a civil discussion...not springer haha.
The constant changing is another issue....it seems ever since that giant age of apocalypse everything is always retconning every time ya turn around. And series only go to like issue 20 or 30 as opposed to the they ran into the triple digits. It just feels like nothing is being made for longevity that its just a crash n burn scenario...ie bilk it for all its worth then dump it, retcon it and slap a new coat of paint over a rusty body to make it seem new.

I guess im just old and cynnical wanting new original stuff ( to whatever particular company ) instead of just draping a cover over an old couch and calling it new.
