No news, no information, no nothing. I don't think it's the same circumstances, but I do think there's a problem at WotC. We're not arguing about good content vs bad content, we're arguing about whether or not there is even going to be content. That's not how you keep an audience, and it's certainly not how you attract one.It's also very reminiscent of comics, and particularly the X-Men comics right now. I've collected X-Men for about 30 years, but the overwhelming signs are that Marvel simply doesn't care about the X-Men franchise any more. The movies have become the dog, and the comics are the tail, and since Marvel doesn't own the X-Men movie rights, they're not going to wag. The storylines for the past two years have been lackluster, boring, and mediocre at best. There's minimal editorial oversight, no direction to the franchise as a whole, and no attempt to build interest or anticipation for upcoming Marvel events. It's actually killed my interest, and for the first time since I was 15, I've stopped buying the X-Men.</blockquote>
