That has to be one of the worst Solicitations ever! I doesn't say a darn thing! There'd better be a good pic to go along with that later!

The solicitations writer needs a bloody good kick in the nads, Lobdell he ain't #-o
Does anyone remember the time when solicitations actually told you something about the issue to peak your interest?? I guess I'm asking too much.
Scott Lobdell writes a humorous comic, the solicits writer, believes he is humorous. Someone should tell him he's kidding himself. :oops: :oops:
Oh BTW, have an image to #5

He's mine. I claim him. Mine, mine, mine.
I'm reminded of my favorite Map'leaf line to date, one that is LOADED with double meaning. I didn't even get it until I was doing some typing for class one day and a VERY attractive male friend of mine IMed me out of the blue with this:
"Okay --- now who wants to ride Thunder?"
Needless to say, I was sent into fits of uncontrollable laughter.
Heh. Now back to your regularly-scheduled programming... :lol:
NICE! That is awsome! heh heh, I know I'd want an umbrella if a horse was flying over me!
Exactly what I was thinking. Horses never think twice in those situations.Quote:

And why would you have a product unless it was to make you money??? And this solicitation wasn't as bad as the others, most notably for #4... exactly how do you expect people to pick up a title if you call the characters 'hosers'?? Especially with the old crowd (ie: us)... putting down the characters we obviously love (why else would we have a huge forum with weeeeeell over 1000 posts if we didn't like 'em?)... it's hard to get even us older fans interested if you keep putting down our characters... I know it turns me off from them! To me it means they aren't taking them as seriously as I'd want them to...Quote:
