There was recently a question here about Marvel being a democracy run by fans, and Jordan White just joked on CBR about doing X-Men ’92 spin-offs until they dwarf the regular X-Men line. Would it be fair to say that Marvel is prepared to turn any title that it publishes into a major line if there’s sufficient demand? I don't mean that to sound crassly commercial. I think the possibility of a half-dozen western books (or 1602 books or MODOK books) is pretty fantastic.

We’re pretty up front about the fact that, if he fans react to some idea with their dollars, we’ll do more of it. Look at SPIDER-GWEN.

Oh, like how Renew Your Vows #1 and its variants led the reorders, outpacing even Secret Wars #1?

And Star Wars and multiple other titles.

Or how married Spider-Man under JMS sold better than young and hip teenage Spider-Man in USM

I'm a "multiple interpretations of a character are valid" person until I see an interpretation that explicitly contradicts canon and then I start chewing on the drywall.

An interpretation that contradicts canon is not an interpretation, because at that point you're not interpreting the text, you're ignoring it.

Multiple interpretations are valid does not mean all interpretations are valid.

Art may be subjective, but that doesn't mean you can't be wrong.

Thinking this afternoon about comic book stasis and how Spider-marriage haters keep saying that Spider-Man should stick to a status quo. Which makes it funny that the big complaint about The Boys is that it keeps to a status quo season after season, with Homelander and the Boys plinking away at each other, scoring minor victories or minor defeats, getting a little more popular or a little less popular, but never achieving a lasting victory anymore than Tom or Jerry does.

Yeah, Doctor Octopus and Norman Osborn are drawings, you can keep them around forever, that’s a positive of comics books–but the downside of that is you keep them around so long that the only stories left to tell with them are ridiculous farces like Ock taking over Peter’s body and trying to rape his wife and then being best friends with him. Or Norman turning good and being best friends with Peter. Or Mary Jane becoming a superhero (yeah, that’s a more natural progression for her character than becoming a wife and mother).

I’m not saying there’s nothing good about a status quo, just that you lose out on as many stories adhering rigidly to it as you do actually letting characters die and mature. And some of those stories you get to hang on to aren’t really any good, they’re just cheap stunts that alienate the reader.
