Dear Marvel Comics,
Why do you continue to mock your reading audience? It is not bad enough that you have made such stellar miniseries like Kitty Pride: Agent of Shield and X-Force: Shatterstar which both harmed great characters with horrible art and writing, but why do you insist on taking the majesty of the Phoenix and dragging it through the mud? Why do you insist on hiring writers who continually take squats on all know continuity and ignore character development? Is it too hard to find a writer who has actually read an issue or two of your comic books and does not loathe and mock them every chance they can get? (Yes, I am looking at you, Grant Morrison.)
For the love of all things bright and beautiful, hire some writers who actually know how to write. Hire some artists who actually went to art school and can draw human proportions correctly. (I'm looking at you, Rob Liefield.) And for pity's sake, hire some editors who will say things like "Hey, Sauron can't breathe fire" or "This origin for Nightcrawler is moronic and laughable, write it again but this time leave out the stupid."
With Hatred and Contempt,
Septimus.
