![]() ![]() I believe it will, and I’m wondering if it will be sooner rather than later. I’m still waiting for Spider-Man’s secret identity to return. The first actual appearance of the Illuminati was in New Avengers (Volume 1) 7, also written by Brian Michael Bendis. ![]() Of course, five years from now, there’s going to be a new system, and a whole new series of retcons that don’t truly make sense to repair what are percieved as “problems” in the stories being done today. ![]() And since Joe’s editorial model doesn’t discern any difference between GOOD attention and BAD attention, the fact that these stories cause a fuss in the world (especially the ones that get mainstream media attention) means that they MUST be good. But the problem is, there’s a mentality that says that because a story hasn’t been told, it HAS to be done! Things like resurrecting Bucky, having Scarlet Witch lose her mind and rewrite reality, the silly underlying premise of Civil War, and returning Wolverine’s memories are being done NOT because they’re stories that someone has been dying to tell, but because they’re uncharted territory. Sometimes, that means good stories, sometimes bad. Marvel right now is being driven by writers who want to tell stories that haven’t been told before. ![]() Well, a strong argument could be made that the Beyonder is an extremely minor character to begin with, but even he has his fans. “So what’s the coolest thing to be in the Marvel Universe?” “Look, the Beyonder kind of sucks anyway…” “Well, maybe he’s part…of…a larger…species?” Think more along the lines of a Cosmic Cube.” “The Beyonder is a representation of an entire dimension!” ![]()
