I guess my reply is "what post?". I didn't delete any posts. Can't speak for John.

I replied to your post about AoU #2 being worse than issue 1. It is no longer there. I am just wondering if I said something out of the norm or if somehow when I posted ... it didn't take? I guess? Only thing I did was mention how issue #2 was even more decompressed than Grant Morrison's Authority issue #1 (which could've been told in 4 panels).
Again, maybe I had an internet hiccup when I hit the post button and it never posted.

Maybe a glitch.....I don't recall seeing anything other than your post that simply said "that's what I call decompressed storytelling"

Later this year, writer Neil Gaiman makes his return to Marvel Comics. According to The New York Times, the "Sandman" and "Eternals" writer will re-enter the Marvel Universe with a collaboration on the final issue of "Age of Ultron" with writer Brian Michael Bendis before co-writing "Guardians of the Galaxy" #5.

Perhaps even more intriguing is the announcement that Gaiman plans to introduce Angela to the Marvel U, a character the writer originally created as part of Todd McFarlane's "Spawn" mythology. Gaiman won a long-running legal battle in 2012 , awarding the co-creator 50-percent ownership of the character with McFarlane. While a crossover between two publishers is hardly unprecedented, this is the first time a character from another publisher has been introduced with the intent of being a larger part of the other's universe.

......interesting.......

I hope this makes my 17 copies of Spawn #9 pay off.

I expect this news will cause a feeding frenzy of people trying to pick up Spawn #9 in anticipation of it rising in value.....which in & of itself will cause it to start rising in value.

I know, it is actually pretty bizarre. A lot of recent books have gone up in value, because people scramble to get them, thinking they will go up in value, and reducing the supply. It kinda becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But really, I don't care why it goes up in value, especially when I have a stack of the books

Yeah - interesting. I don't see how that character fits in to the Marvel U. I found the shoehorning of the Wildstorm characters the worst part of the New 52. This feels like that.

On the flip side I haven't read anything from Gaiman I didn't like. Anansi Boys and American Gods are two of my favorite novels.
