Q:"At what point did quality stop being something to strive for?" When it became common knowledge that hardcore Marvel fans will buy books for their favorite characters even when it's crystal clear that the people making the books are phoning it in. Marvel knows this and will continue to shit on their most habitual fans until the fans learn. The number of simple, fixable mistakes in the average Marvel book is at an all-time and is evidence of unabashed laziness. There's no incentive to do better.

You do realize that people have been saying this since literally FANTASTIC FOUR #2, right?

Your knowing cynicism is neither fresh nor is it edgy. If anything, it’s more tired and cliche than anything you’re complaining about within the books themselves.

If you don’t like what we’re doing, you are absolutely always free to take your money and your time elsewhere.

Nobody at Marvel is phoning it in.

Copycat.

No publisher has a monopoly on good or bad stories, and any statements to the contrary portray ignorance above all else.
