Marvel Illustrated

[The Toyroom]

Is anyone picking up these mini-series? I ask because I see they're releasing a lot of these and they're pretty big issue-wise, some are 6 or 8 issues in length and I was just wondering if the market was there to support these.

Yeah, they're classic stories but Roy Thomas (writer) has been so far off the radar for years now since All-Star Squadron and Arak, Son of Thunder it isn't even funny. And the artists seem like a bunch of no-names. So talent-wise, the draw doesn't seem like it's there either for these books.

Just wondering....

nahhh, I'd rather read a book. I did like the old marvel Classics Illustrated line from the 70's. Wish they'd reprint a best of trade.

^ I'd rather see that myself too...I briefly got into the Classic Illustrated revival that First Comics did years ago but it didn't hold my interest for very long. This new series just isn't my cup of tea for what I want to spend my "comic bucks" on each month.
