give lorna a solo title

Ditto on the solo title demand.

  • She’s long overdue
  • Marvel’s given solo books to far more “obscure” characters in the past
  • Marvel had no problem at all keeping the Scarlet Witch solo going for over a year with 20 issues and tons of promotion despite every issue from #2 onward having sales as low as what got All-New X-Factor canceled

Last point includes how All-New X-Factor took several issues to get as low as what the SW solo had starting at #2, yet ANXF got canceled sooner and in less than a year by comparison.

Before what Marvel did with the Scarlet Witch solo, I had been saying a solo title for Lorna wasn’t viable sales-wise until a) she could interact with Wanda and Pietro as family again, and b) she got more use from Marvel. After the SW solo, no argument justifies not giving Polaris a solo book anymore. Wanda wasn’t interacting with her family, her sales were very low, yet Marvel kept it going anyway.

If Marvel is more than happy to give Wanda a solo book under those conditions, they can do the same for Lorna.

Or I should say they gave Wanda a second solo book, actually, since the ongoing was volume 2. Volume 1 was in 1994. So, if they can give Wanda a volume 2 under those conditions, they can give Lorna a volume 1 under the same.

I’m losing my SHIT

This is some magical shit

The sad thing is, I don’t know who’s the bigger idiot.

I would argue its the Kara person – because she doesn’t it. Mike is pointing out the obvious

the obvious? what do you mean?

that she played ignorant, was treated accordingly, and that it was silly that she took offense over being deceptive about her understanding

could you explain further? I’m not sure I understand your meaning

I’ve never seen two murders in one post before.

Murders? Who died?

There are so many things in this page that made me smile…Emily joining the search for Pietro, Wanda being happy with someone who isn’t the Vision or Wonder Man..

but I’m still so bitter over the retcon..it’s been four years and I’m still not over it

And I’m not even talking about Magneto here…what hurts me the most is this

I cant get over the fact that they are not siblings anymore…they haven’t interacted at all since All-New X-Factor…its ridiculous…even before learning that they were brother and sister, they always had a noteworthy relationship

Lorna should be in Pietro’s life is all I’m saying

All of them should be in each others’ lives. I always took the fact that Peter David gave them a sibling-like relationship on X-Factor as proof that they really deserve to be siblings. It’s so implicit that only higher-ups at Marvel with an ax to grind have any problem with it.

Polaris for the Free Comic Book Day gallery show at Carol and John’s Comics in Cleveland, OH! Every year they put up a gallery to showcase the art of local creators with a theme. This year is Jim Steranko who will actually be at Carol and John’s on Free Comic Book Day for all the festivities. 

Admittedly this was a challenging subject for me. I was not very well versed in Steranko’s work before this, and I was frustrated with my readily apparent lack of knowledge. Several Google image searches, wiki articles and blog posts about this comic master later, I have fully fallen in love with Steranko’s art. He truly did so much for the art of comics and fantasy.

Polaris a.k.a. Lorna Sally Dane is a mutant in the Marvel Universe and a creation of Jim Steranko and Arnold Drake.

Excellent work! She turned out great, and I love that you included the skull of the original costume.
