Joe Q and his Bachelor Parties!!

Original Post Date: 02/27/2006

Lets get this out of the way first!!

**“What I love about weddings are bachelor parties,” Quesada said earlier in the panel about the upcoming Black Panther/Storm Wedding storyline, “and T'Challa will be having bachelor party, and if I'm not mistaken it's being thrown by Luke Cage and Wolverine.

“I can only tell you, if I was having a bachelor party, I would want Wolverine to throw it. He knows people.”**

And now this....

Marvel should seriously consider changing its name from Marvel Comics to 'Wolverine Comics', 'cause there dont' seem to be even half a dozen (remotely respectable) series where Wolverine isn't making an appearance every month.....and this, hosting the bachelor party for the guy he can't stand (Wild Kingdom x-over) has to be the cherry on the proverbial cake.

Lets see, Wolverine, Uncanny X-Men, Ashtonishing X-Men, "Adjectiveless" X-Men, New X-Men, New Avengers, Runaways, B.P., Spider-Man (all of this current timeline series)...recently, anything HoM (before and after), upcoming anything Civil War, lets just forget
the miniseries (Deadly Genesis, Colossus: Bloodline, Jubilee, Nightcrawler...Oh, give me a break-Mystique)...

...They just don't stop. And now on top of all this, Wolverine: Origin.

I mean, come on, he is supposed to be the best at what he does, but nowadays the only thing he seems to be doing is jumping around all over the planet...ok, for his past, but to give any and every god-damn series the 'claw' touch.

And now, both him and Luke, they are going to become glorified 'pimps'. Luke Cage was the first African American hero to get his own comic series (way back in 1972) and this is how Marvel is using his potential!! Even in the New Avengers he comes across more as 'eye candy' than anything else. I remember reading him going against Spidey (atleast I think it was him) during the early days of his career, when he had the whole 'Angry Young Man' thing going for him....and although the previews of Civil War seem to present an interesting take on his situation as a 'family man', this whole bachelor party thing is going a bit (a lot) overboard.

Yeah, they are heroes (super-heroes) and the whole world is going to the crapper around them (civil war) and what are they going to do? Down shots and ogle at grinding babes (and hopefully throw up later)....Oooh, they must really be tense!!

Am I the only one who seems to think that Joe Q's 'bachelor party' mentions are a joke gone too
far...especially in keeping track with the current situation in the MU at that time?
