BeaucoupKevin.com presents: actual comments made by Marvel fans on Tom Brevoort’s blog.
On Covers:
causeitwasfunny:
I’ll be perfectly honest, sometimes the artwork on the cover is more interesting than the story inside. A few years back I managed to grab up all the Maximum Carnage issues for fairly cheap because I had fond memories of playing the video games and was always interested in the symbiotic villains of Spider-Man. I read through it, and althought it’s a memorable storyline, it wasn’t really written all that well. So many editor’s notes of which issue referred back to another one that I didn’t have or didn’t read through me off (by the way, I’m really glad those are used sparingly or as jokes nowadays), and I couldn’t enjoy the story as much… but the covers were still awesome.
eddiecho:
As a fan though I really wish those awesome covers would return, I remember when comics used to have Holographic covers. I miss those awesome covers. I still have Spiderman vs Venom “Final Confrontation” It was so cool with the holograms.
On Spider-Girl reaching an end and getting a new title:
Tarhuan:

On Continuity Gaffes in Civil War:
songofthesiryn:
If you are the Executive Editor of Marvel, I would expect a less defensive attitude about mistakes made on the part of your staff vis a vis continuity betwixt issues of all the Civil War tie ins in this Mega Event.
(I have the feeling songofthesiryn spends a good deal of his time in the basement, alone, crying.)
On DC vs Marvel:
Bearpod91:
You guys gatta find a way to compete with DC’s 52 which comes out each week. Maybe something with 42 from Civil War? I would love to be able to get something every single week from marvel that follows one storyline. We all hate waiting every month so you guys need to find a way to fix it.Peace!
OK. I can’t do this anymore.

Doc keeps on giving me hell for not linking to this, but check out the first Comicazi podcast. It’s entertaining, features guys I like cracking wise, and Young Aaron comes off as the most mature person in the room a good deal of the time.
