How many titles does wolverine and cyclops have to be in?
Wait for it . . . . 70 cagillion. Well, it does not necessarily
bother me, but basically no marvel title has any continuity.
That is what bothers me. Is this like this for any other publisher?
What is the management at marvel thinking? This is not how
you keep your customers buying your comics. Also, I know
this is happening in Captain America, Spider-man, Daredevil, and
Hulk series too. Is there more?

well i guess this all i have to complain about . . . .right now.

Hey, Wolverine RULZ!!! He should be in every comic!!!When I pick up a MArvel book and Wolverine isn't in it, I throw it right in the trash. If DC had any brains, they'd start putting Wolverine in their comics too.

I think that Fuj nailed it like a prom queen behind the football field bleachers. For all these 'writer's summits' I constantly find myself reading about in interviews, these guys have a hard time keeping continuity straight and tight. Granted, it's waaaaaaaaaaay better now than it was in the early/mid 90's.

Fuj you rock! That really does nail what is going on with continuity. The only continuity you find are the writers who co write books together or do muliple titles. Its all over the map and there's no apologies coming from Quesada on it.

I swear the editor in chief's job is to manage the universe itself. So that when New York is destroying in World War hulk you at least get a reference to it in Daredevil for example. Or when the entire city turns into symbiote suits that it has some effect around the other titles. Its my single biggest beef but we have bitched about it all we can, it won't get better till Quesada is replaced and I don't see that happening any time soon unfortunately.

ROFLMAO

This topic has the best one-liners I think I've seen in a single thread. I'd be cut n' pasting my a$$ off if I tried to hit them all. Nice job everyone.
