like, i remembher when Stan said he was super okay with new characters being X thing or Y race, he just wanted pre-established characters to stay the same, and people gave him flack for it.

like you said, if you wanna make a progressive character, go ahead and make one.

the only thing I expect: make them a good character first and foremost.

THIS. So many idiots forget that and try to just put some stupid social message behind it that's soapboxing and iritating to the point anyone reading will go "Will you shut up?! I don't care." and you lose all the old readers who just want some escapist fiction that sometimes subtly touch on actual social issues while also trying to gain more readers interested in lots of social issues but who don't care enough about progressive changes to comics to actually start reading them. You set yourself up to fail on both fronts.

And then there's how people like that often treat detractors...

It came out of left field and I loved it for that.

Man looks like Tome Holland is really going at it :D

I picked up Invincible Iron Man #1 on Wednesday.

If I had a stable source of income, I'd totally follow the series. As it stands, I'm hoping I can just get the entire first arc.

With Uncanny 600 finally out... it was okay, I mean it was fun as usual, tons of great character moments, but with the whole Terrigen killing Mutants idea introduced in the other book, it's kind of hard to see which storyline will be followed.

Vision on the other hand is amazing! It's one of the most interesting ways they've handled his psychology so far in my opinion, simply great all around.

So Rob Liefeld is back at Marvel... yay?

Hooray, ugly muscle demons and writing that makes the mad ramblings of a schizophrenic acid-tripping hobo in a tinfoil hat sound profound and wise.

He's worked for marvel at other times. He did some stuff for Deadpool corps and he's improved as an artist.

Invincible Iron Man 1 to 4

The Amazing Spider Man 1 to 2

And as far as a big change up as to what I normally read Spiderman 2099 number one ( I just love that new suit )
