agreed. And as much has been said ad nauseum to Andy Schmidt, the editor for these. People vehemently have said that anybody else wearing the Q-bands does not make them Quasar. He's kept mum on it but he said that someone else will probably be wearing the Q-bands at the end of this but that he thinks we've already saved Wendell with the "responses- i.e. outrage" he got online from many people...myself included.

It might be Wendell without the Q-bands...maybe back as an Avatar of Infinity? Who knows? I just hope it's him with the bands.

Also I disagree, thjimmy. Tying a comic book to a soap opera is probably the worst crossover idea I've ever heard. Totally different mediums. Unless of course they're going to publish soap opera comics now......which I definitely couldn't support.

I do like the "classics" publishing though. It's a nice idea and maybe you get the "cliffnotes w/pictures versions of them. Don't know if it will work but it's a change for sure.

This is just a rehash of an old idea. There used to be a comic that just 'comicized' classic literary works. I can picture the golden yellow box at the top, but can't for the life of me think of the name. I think Dell published it.

You may hate yourself...it was "Classics Illustrated".

Nova! Nova! Nova!

And everything else is cool too!

Of course they're different media. Just like movies and comics, novels and comics, static art and comics, music and comics etc. and, historically speaking, any time those cross-over it's been disastrous. Totally different media. And they don't share any conventions like serial release or ongoing long-term continuity with years of back-story and rabidly devoted followings (of often marginalized people).

Sorry for the sarcasm. I'm not saying I'm all that into day-time soap comics (though historically there's precedent for soap-style genre comics), but if this is something that has the potential to expose a different (and possibly interested) audience to comics, then I say it's fine for them to give it a try.

If you'd like to read the story of teens finding items that turn them into Norse Gods, read "Thunderbolt Jaxon", being published right now by some company I can't remember.....Someone must have let JMS know somebody was already doing this, and it's not too bad.

No worries. Love sarcasm. Big fan.
