Welcome ladies & gentlemen! This, is Marvel's Corner!

 

Now, today's blog isn't really new, but it is interesting and something people who visit the EF forums should check out. What is it? 

 

Mini-Marvels! And something really stupid that Marvel's doing.

Today's Topic: Mini Marvels

 

Now, I'm sure you're asking what is Mini Marvels?

 

Go ahead, ask.

 

.....

 

Well, I'm glad you asked. Mini Marvels are minuture comics, usually found at the back of regular Marvel comics.

 

What's cool about them, is that the comics feature kid versions of all the Marvel Characters, and are drawn peanuts style.

I personally find them very entertaining. Still, I'll let you guys be the judges. Just check a few out:

Not only that, but the guy (Chris Giarrusso) also makes his own comic (G-Man):

He also does kid versions of classic Marvel covers. For example, this:

Anyways, guess what?

 

Mini Marvels have been canceled, and replaced. 

 

Yes, Marvel just did something stupid, proving that nothing's perfect. And what are they being replaced with?

Super Hero Squad.

 

It started as just a few toys, but is now an animated series, as well as having its own comic:

Honestly, I admire anyone who was able to read all those comics. Is it just me, or is that the worst attempt at humor Marvel has ever tried?

 

I mean, c'mon! Mole Man? Mole Man?! 

 

Marvel decided that these two were too alike, and canceled Mini Marvels. Am I the only one who finds that stupid?

 

Oh well. Marvel's acting strange. Very strange. I blame Disney (I have no proof, but I've never trusted that mouse...) That, and the fact that Super Squad's making more money...

 

Anyways, that's all for today. Until next time, this is Marvel Man, signing off.

Excelsior!
