The Marvel Method of Marketing is Terrible
Comic Reviews for week ending 3/17/2024
Top o’ the morning to you, my friend,
Happy (belated) St. Patrick’s Day to you and yours. May the luck of the Irish forever smile down upon ye!
Well, yes, that’s enough of that. Today’s main topic is not quite an Op-Ed or a news story but more of a video reaction to the big Marvel news last week during a SXSW panel, specifically the big presentation on the future of X-Men in Marvel Comics.
I keep a very close eye on Marvel and DC because the Direct Market depends on them, whether we like it or not. That said, Marvel’s marketing efforts of late leave a lot to be desired.
What did you think about the presentation? Are you excited for the future of the X-Men? Why or why not?
