A-Force #9

[superboyprime]

'I never expected to love writing Medusa and Dazzler so much for example, but I quickly found things I adored about both of them – in Alison a real humanity and vulnerability that I didn’t expect, and with Medusa, well, the bitchy bored “better than you” thing is just always fun.' - Kelly Thompson

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown?

"The bitchy bored “better than you” thing is just always fun."

I'm glad it is for someone.

[erikred]

You'd think I'd get tired of the "Elsa Bloodstone has a filthy mouth" gag, but you'd be entirely wrong.

[mesmiranda]

I dunno, I think it could use a little more. Maybe an equally snarky robot in purple spandex. And a blonde who can blow up things with her mind! And maybe you could throw in some kind of leader-type lady there, badass superpowers, maybe someone connected to the Avengers...

[erikred]

... Yes, yes, and maybe more Modok and Mindless Ones, I like where you're going here....

[thehood]

Monica has long since abandoned her Nextwave personality though.

[majingojira]

Given how Mighty Avengers handled things, I'd say she more incorporated it into herself.

[thehood]

Don't know about that, that issue of Mighty Avengers confirmed she did love her mother and comments to the contrary was just the beyond corporation messing with her.

[majingojira]

Why is this book ending? WHY?!

And why so quietly?

[q99]

Alas, it didn't do great in sales, and the event kinda catching it hard, what with Carol and Medusa being major players in roles that makes 'hang out with a team of friends' seem a bit out of place.

[majingojira]

It was selling 27K last recorded (August), which is well above the normal cancellation line.

Carol and Medusa, however, are harder to work, but a rotating cast isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[q99]

Hm, point. Not great for an avengers book, so maybe it's planning for a relaunch/renumbering?

[thehood]

Doesn't seem like it, since the writer is moving on to All-New Hawkeye.

[majingojira]

I hope so. But NYCC has come and gone and that was the perfect time to announce that sort of thing.

So I still hope, but I have to be realistic now.

[zylly]

Once again a prediction is technically true but not at all in the way you thought. It is really starting to reflect poorly on you, Carol.

[scorntx]

"Starting?"

[zylly]

Point.

But it's getting progressively worse.

[locuatico]

Wonder if someone is going to point out that, knowing the context, had Carol arrested Nico would have been a really bad thing....

[zylly]

We can only hope.

I love how the ex-NEXTWAVE characters continue to use the skulls in their speech bubbles whenever they cuss, no matter which title they're in.
