He has since added 2 of the 3 items I showed him, so just scroll up for the Hulk letters page mentions and the Ultimate Marvel Team-Up gag. You might need a magnifying glass, tho. As for the League Of Regrettable Superheroes book excerpt, I think Dave caught a glimpse of Ditko artwork in it and straight into the trash it went before he could even consider posting it here. ;-)Gary Martin, Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11385338936431036524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-275513328290899122015-09-10T17:40:34.373-07:002015-09-10T17:40:34.373-07:00Lets see what this stuff was all about!

GI Joe and Transformers alone did huge numbers. I will cede that by and large they were no longer cool by the mid 90's. Still. trends go through cycles, and now those two franchies are back and doing good numbers for IDW.Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-25981643288924574512015-08-27T01:52:56.815-07:002015-08-27T01:52:56.815-07:00unfucken believable about Onyx and especially Twom...unfucken believable about Onyx and especially Twomorrow's Publishing of Comic Book Fever! and i don't even want to hear any more about this "Venom spaceknight" crap it just sounds so stupid. as for all that stuff in the last part of your comment Gary why don't you let me have a look at it all let's see if we can spruce up this posting at least.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-3147847036683977552015-08-27T00:01:11.938-07:002015-08-27T00:01:11.938-07:00Hi Dave!

Onyx #3 & the final issue #4 were solicited for September & October but I'd guess they'll be pushed back to October & November at least.<br /><br />Last week I saw some online solicitations for the new Venom series and it looks like the sub-title will be Space Knight as two words, so that's even more of a head-scratcher now. Still no clues of any connection to Galador etc., though the new Venom: Space Knight logo was shown small on an action figure variant cover, and a companion poster was solicited without art preview so it may or may not have the logo on it. Can anyone who gets Marvel Press Posters let us know if they usually have text on them?<br /><br />It will be interesting, I think, to see how all the licensing acrobatics shake out & shape up eventually...I mean, IDW's logo (as we've only seen in one teaser preview image) insists on "The Space Knight", presumably to distance itself somehow from the classic comic title or Marvel's one-word Spaceknights; now Venom in its second preview separates the word for probably a similar reason.<br /><br />Update: just found this... http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/thompson-goes-errant-in-marvels-venom-space-knight<br /><br />Series writer Robbie Thompson says "With regards to the Space Knights, we're not exactly doing the Galador Space Knights, but there's a sort of idea there we're going to be getting into in the long term of the book."<br /><br />So A) Marvel continues its inexplicable slide away from established lore like "Galadorian" becoming "Galadoran", and B) good luck keeping the train on the rails until the "Space Knights" "idea" can show up.<br /><br />One more groan-worthy tidbit for ya Dave: TwoMorrow's Comic Book Fever's release date was changed again to April 20, 2016.<br /><br />Can it all be saved with some great ROM mentions from the letters page of 1994's Incredible Hulk #421, a sly ROM reference in 2001's Ultimate Marvel Team-Up #9, or a ROM page from the recent book The League of Regrettable Superheroes: Half-Baked Heroes from Comic Book History?
