My thoughts exactly. I’m not faulting marvel for making this if there is demand.

When I read these, there was no feedback about comics other than friends. Wizard magazine loved everything so they weren’t reliable critics, and there wasn’t any dialogue on the Internet. Only online was message boards through libraries that were probably blue dots, or AOL’s very limited chat rooms. So from my personal experience, it was always a joke. I guess the fact that in 12 years Fox never adapted it into a film reinforced that belief. Well, for all of you that love this, I am totally thrilled for you. The AoA designs were definitely colorful and busy, so they really were created to be toys. I look forward to seeing how creative our members will display them.
