In a quite interesting All the Rage column today, Markisan Naso reports that Brian Bendis’s upcoming Avengers arc will see the “JLAification” of the team–that is, like the DC superteam, the Avengers roster will come to include all of Marvel’s most popular heroes, rather than second-stringers like Jack of Hearts and stuff. Since I’m not quite so far gone as a lot of comics fans, I really don’t give a good goddamn about the lame old Avengers roster, and I’m looking forward to seeing all the big guns gathered on one team, because that would actually make sense and be popular. Now let’s see if DC reJLAifies the actual JLA.
In other, lamer news, Markisan posts a quote by Mark Millar to the effect that he will be putting Wolverine back in his beige costume on his upcoming run on the character’s solo book. (He calls the costume “tan,” but let’s stop bullshitting ourselves, people.) It’s kind of sad to see that even some of the people responsible for helping Marvel take a bold leap out of 1992 over the last few years are itching to hit the rewind button to feed the industry’s inner fanboy.
