zoux posted:What's up with Marvel renumbering their books up to 600 (500 in the case of Invincible Iron Man) all of a sudden around Siege? Everything was at a point where it was going to hit a milestone according to the original numbering, so Marvel decided to make it a Thing.

"Jason Aaron" is a key pair of words in that sentence though, Brad Meltzer's done one good comic, ever, Aaron's done a bunch. Hakkesshu posted:Ah, thanks. I guess I should read more of Aaron's stuff outside of WatX. Put it this way: When Daniel Way did the "Ghost Rider's an angel" twist I was about to drop the book, and then Jason Aaron came on and made it the most badass thing ever and turned the book around instantly. Dude rules.

Senior Woodchuck posted:The ROM thing is a good example of something that baffles me about fandom. There's no chance a new ROM book would be anything like the old ROM book. Neither of the original creators would be working on it, which you think would be the draw for people nostalgic about the old book. But apparently that doesn't matter; just having the property back gets them all excited. It's weird. Annihilators was a straight up sequel to ROM and it ruled. greatn posted:What the hell is ROM? Aside from Quark's nephew and read only memory? Back in the 70s Marvel got the license to do a comic about a toy robot called ROM. There was nothing to this robot except a name and a design, so they threw it to Bill Mantlo, who was also working on the much less popular but still very good Micronauts (another licensed property), to do whatever with. 75 issues and 4 annuals later ROM is a fantastic sci-fi story with this really overwrought, super formal dialog that works so well because he really pushed that idea of ROM being a Spaceknight and went with like that super stiff faux-medieval thing and it's so goddamn good read ROM Jesus Christ. Problem is, Hasbro owns ROM, Marvel owns all the things that made that book rule.

Aphrodite posted:Where do all the super specific numbers for Marvel stuff come from? Pretty sure a lot of this stuff starts with Gruenwald. I'm 90% sure he's the one who gave us the LASER DIMENSION.
