That'll continue in some new form more likely.

But this? This is justice for them, as Wizard knocked them out as the industry rag. Mind you,
when the one editor passed away, it went down hill after that.

I subscribed to the magazine for about 6 or 7 years until one year I received an email saying my subscription was up so I re-upped it. Two days later I get another email saying that if I resubscribed I'd get a Heroclix figure or something (I was really into the game at the time & it was a bad-ass piece). I called their customer service line and told them that I had just re-upped my subscription two days before, which they had record of in their system, and asked if I could get the free Heroclix figure and was flat out told "no". I think the figure was available for purchase for something ridiculous like $20 and was told that was the only way I could get it. I even asked if I could cancel my renewal and re-up it with the person on the phone and they just said there was nothing they could do.

But will it still be so far up Marvel's @$$ that it can't see or smell any other comics??

I haven't read it in years, but I'm still sorry to see it go away.

Just because I don't know how to spell the language of some tiny African nation doesn't mean that I'm wrong in thinking that your attitude towards women is 100% wrong. Obviously, you're some skinny, single nerd living on the East Coast who probably derives value in life from wrestling matches, hoping that Wolverine gets to sleep with teenagers and engaging in casual drug use. You're literally the worst thing to happen to comics since Stan Lee.
