> And just because you already know the outcome, doesn't mean that the journey won't be interesting; I mean, really, if you buy that premise, then why bother with just about any superhero comic?

Some outcomes are known; some are at risk. I don't think they should create more of the former, I think they should create more of the latter.
> but that's not enough to make Joe Quesada Happy, no. It's all or nothing. It's nothing more than Fanboy Entitlement run amok (see also: Didio's desire to have Nightwing killed off in Infinite Crisis).

I try not to get into "fanboy" debates, but, from what I've seen, the diehard fans are supportive of the marriage. And I can't see Marvel corporate thinking that marriage, let alone kids, is a good idea long-term.
> Millar and Hitch on the FF makes me want to run away SCREAMING. And Brubaker is so relentlessly bleak that I'm not sure I even want to go thru the journey to see some light.. But I mean, good for you. Me, I'm done with Marvel until the "Nu Grim'n'Gritty" goes the way of the 90s die-cut foil cover.

I have to admit, I've never seen any of these "grim and gritty" comics that people keep talking about. I've seen a lot of balanced books, some more light and some more dark, but I'd die from shock if I saw something actually dark. I flipped through that one DC mini (Identity Crisis, I think you said?) that everyone was angry at for being dark, but the tone struck me as that of your usual primetime TV show.
