How does it feel to obliterate DC in comic sales?

Not great. It’s not healthy for the marketplace for too much weight to be in any one place. Ideally, we’d have three companies that each jockeyed for position–that would spread out the risk factor should something happen to one of them. (And, of course, I’d prefer that Marvel did the best of those companies.) But past a certain point, Marvel having too much of the market share is a problem, as nice as it looks from a chest-thumping perspective.

FUCK THIS PERSON FOREVER

If Reed Richards has autism, Jessica Jones and Captain America have PTSD, Daredevil has depression, Hulk has DID, Iron Man has alcoholism, Captain Marvel has ADHD and Moon Knight has schizophrenia, why are they heroes? Wouldn't they work better as dangerous freaks for normal heroes to fight? Why are the heroes in the Marvel U such weirdos compared to DC?

So you’re saying that people with autism, PTSD, depression, DID, alcoholism, ADAH or schizophrenia can’t be heroes? Pretty compassionate view there.

Good hod Secret Wars was the dullest thing I've read in ages. Where was the plot and characterisation. I kind if feel forced into reading this to know what comes next and how. But seriously that was so completely self indulgent. Ive no idea who city and pod are. If i gave thst to a new reader they'd never read another comic.

Sorry you didn’t care for it. Those other two posters didn’t seem to have that same problem–which doesn’t discount your argument, but does mitigate it somewhat.

What you guys did with Bobby in All-New X-Men is so wrong in so many ways. So he may have had attractions to men. Doesn't mean he has to act on them. It is completely ridiculus to say that everyone should act on their feelings. Sometimes people feel like hurting people, but they don't do it do they? And Young Bobby didn't have to act on his feels. While feelings aren't chosen, actions certainly are. And whether or not you choose to identify as gay is based on actions. Not feelings.

You didn’t need to act on your feelings to write and send this.

Hi, Tom! Recently my "check coolant" light has started coming on fairly frequently when I'm driving--both in town and on the highway. The fluid level is fine, & I've had the coolant checked, & it's okay. I'm wondering if this could be the result of a perceived lack of diversity in comics, the fact that Magneto didn't father Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, or if it has something to do with how much you--personally--hate the Fantastic Four and are trying to remove them from continuity. Thoughts?

Everything dies.

How much of the time we see you replying to questions on here is you procrastinating while you're getting your work done?

TOMORROW this comes out and as we’ve got but fifty pages left until our final panel there are some things that happen and MAAAAAAAYBE you would like to enjoy those things as you read unaware instead of finding out what goes on as you scrub thru tumblr or A GOT-DANG CBR PREVIEW or wherever. Just — just, yknow. If you care about things being spoiled maybe be wary until you’re all caught up or filter judiciously as some people love the shit out of blowing stuff the second they get it read and what I’m saying is there are THINGS TO BE SPOILED TOMORROW SO yeah
