Who is the female character in that bit? Because if that is Jennifer Walters the whole piece is even far more offensively preachy then it seems at first read.

Oh yeah, apparently Ian Miles took that page out of context and had the people in CG that were reading that series tell him he was wrong. Apparently within context, the lady is a crazy person who just looks for a reason to be angry no matter how ill informed or wrong she is. The Hulk liking her isn’t supposed to look heroic, it’s supposed to be worrying. The crazy lady want to have the Hulk’s powers because she wants power and has a ton of rage that has no target. Honestly she sounds like a perfect representation of an SJW.

Naw, thankfully it's a bit deeper than that. The lady in question is a reporter, who (as a child) witnessed a Hulk rampage which flattened her home. I suspect there's a bit of obsession there.

Did any of you that pledged get your Trump Space Force comic yet? For a fairly dumb idea it's executed pretty well. A couple of panels made me chuckle. Brought me back to the "Reagan's Raiders" comic my buddy gave me many years ago. This one is much better than that.

Is the Cecil cameo still in?

Kids have no problem getting into Manga and I don't see them in supermarkets and drug stores.

Lately I'm seeing manga locally available in Walmart, supermarkets and pharmacies where I live. This is from my local supermarket:

You’ve probably noticed that the only Marvel stuff are novelizations. Meanwhile comics are 99% DC, 1% Oni Press’ Rick & Morty. Manga is mostly My Hero Academia, Pokémon, Tokyo Ghoul and other shounen stuff.

Ah! I just st got the “Jacqueline McGee” reference. It all makes sense now. And is actually almost clever for modern Marvel. However did they slip that one past the editors? For the younger kids, “Jack McGee” was the reporter from the old Bill Bixby/Lou Ferigno Incredible Hulk tv series. The one that was chasing Banner week after week. Best known as being the recipient of the classic character defining line, “Don’t make me angry Mr. McGee. You wouldn’t like me when I am angry.”

What the fuck are they planning? Reviving G.I. Joe properties? Ponies are taken.

They could make money reviving GI Joe, but they don't own that one. They actually own very very few IP properties themselves. And most of them are Z list. I mean how well do you know Winona Earp? How about Locke and Key? Or Big Guy and Rusty? You might barely remember an incredibly short cartoon of that last one?

Who cares about any of that? If they don't have a big property licensed (like G.I. Joe) nobody is going to care. They aren't going to make a dime.

Well over 90% of IDW's books are stuff they license from others. GI Joe, Transformers, MLP etc. While technically they publish their own stuff as well, it is so little, so rare and so pathetic, that it is completely assinine to take out $28 million in loans to attempt to capitalize on it.
