I didn't like the stories that much back then, or maybe it was Gene Colan's art work more so than the writing, Marv Wolfman is a dam good story teller, anyway I appreciate or opions and knowlege of comics...... the correct website is as follows:
Yes I liked the concept very much, I just wish that more creative approaches like Azzerello's were taken with minorety chacters, just take a look at whats being ceate on websites like gettoshake.com and others.
Even Fox studios has option a character or two for film development from this one site alone, all you have to do is look at how well developed Blade is in film as opposed to the original comics, just make the character intersting and dynamic for a following to grow.
Thats not too much to ask of any writer.
PS. I agree hole was not a great choice as opposed to other blck actresses, but I work in the film industry, thses people want big names to recoup great profits on investment, not much more than that.
Nuff Said (old school Marvel fo life!)
Your right he is the most human, but with issues... did he ever get therapy after the death of his parents, its a fact that most children who witness the death of a loved one as dear as a parent, become a bit fearless in regards to death.
But dam, hes what a billionare, i would hire people to take out criminals and try to enjoy life and raise a family to honor my parents, it would be more healthy, but one boring ass charcter.
i wonder what the character will do when he's old.... hire a bunch to go and take out criminals, he's rich enoungh to hire an army, that she satisfy his thurst for revenge & bloody justice
Yo, What about Luke Cage, whom Nicholas Cage got his screen name from......I would update him as an Entrepreneur, like P Diddy, or Jay Z, as owner of HEROS FOR HIRE, a body gaurd slash personal protection agency for the rich and famous.
Not that lame ass approach that marvel has taken with him & most other non-white characters (except for Storm, who is represented in a manner more appealing to young white males - Shite, she's so under stated in the films, that Hale Berry asked WHATS UP WITH THAT ?
But back to Luke Cage and the view I have of his company, Pretty much like it is in reality, in regards to protection for celebritys and a brother coming up rough & hungry for the good life, hell look at 50 cent (kindda resembles what I see luke Cage a lot like, rough, tough & smart enough to make a fortune for himself.
I mean lets face it, Batman is a rich boy with trauma issues that have manifested in a outward expression of violence & role playing (kick everyones ass & take names later) he's got to be a Republican, bussiness man by day vigilante by night, who's motto is "might with fright makes right."
Now you know if a brother or ANY OTHER acted in a same manner, every citizen in the county would be alarmed and i'm sure the police chief wouldn't be sending him no signal, at least not one that was friendly....
now I'm not hating on Bats, I like the character & most of the other pantheons of power very much, I would just like some real thought given to lesser developed characters and a realization that if you look at the wider picture as a whole.... all you see in these fantasys are all white, mostly male heros and a universe full of the same... in that world minorities are an anomely with a few exceptions but when you come out the theatre or turn off the tube or monitor, the human disporia is quite different, white is not the majority in the whole human family.
Ya Dig, Nuff Said
So the very same corporations who buy the civil servants in state & national government buy defacto now, should run everything more out in the open and stop pretending to be good citizens and share with the rest of the people/consumers.

http://gettosake.com/ and if I may recommend two other sites:http://www.blacksuperhero.com/
http://www.badazzmofo.com/
The badazz site is quite informative, especially on the 70's (torrentino must be visiting this site among others).
You know, I can't recall if I have seen or read ether stories by Bendis, I'll take a look @ my collection next time I get a chance to do so.
Here's a side bit of info: Don McGreger's Saber and the artists John and Marie Severin (do a google search if your not familiar with ether)
I'll get back to you then......
