Marvel NOW! Fans ANGRY!

Marvel now has come and boy has it pissed some people off.

Most of the books are pretty good are are being well received. Two of them are not being well received at all. And most of it comes down to fans overreaction without all the facts. Now I know what you're thinking, comic fans overreacting? Never! They're the most level headed of the fandoms, serving as a shining example of rationality.

Or they're the people that are screaming Spider-Man's a rapist. And Mavel's running a teenage snuff film.

So if you're not following comics (Hi Mom! ...she's never been here...) you might not know that Doctor Octopus has swapped minds with Peter Parker and is running around in his body as Spider-Man and as Peter Parker. So whats the story out of this? If Spider-Man and Mary Jane have sex its rape! Well, yeah. It totally is. I guess its a good thing that Doctor Octopus has the people skills of someone who would willingly call himself Doctor Octopus. And its also a pretty good thing that MJ has a choice in the matter instead of just being a doll for whoever is in Peter's body to masturbate with. But instead of thinking about things or even just waiting to see if it happens before getting all riled up we get death threats.

The other Marvel NOW! issue is Avengers Arena. Its a wave riding teen based comic about a bunch of super powered kids getting thrown onto an island and being forced to fight to the death. There are a lot of fans, particularly of Runaways and Avengers Academy that are upset about this comic because they don't want favorites of theirs used for cannon fodder. They refuse to buy it and have started an online petition to cancel the book and undo anything that's happened in it. And I really don't think they need to do that. In the first issue the characters all have health bars and Arcade has god like powers. Arcade is a dude in a white suit who builds deathtraps. Somethings already not right here. I have a feeling that at the end of this it'll have more to do with Ready Player One then it does with Battle Royal.
