It's All Just a Franchise

z: …they’ve got a chick in Wolverine’s signature outfit, being wolverine, and that’s not cool. Just as “Lady Thor” wasn’t cool.

Bet you didn't care for Beta Ray Bill Thor or Thor the Frog, either?

Ah, I have seen the new Wolverinette :) now, c/o ComicBook.com. Logan's daughter or something like that? Whatev's.

Ah, Grasshopper, how refreshing your youthful naïveté! How precious your willingness to treat these matters as artistic subjects instead of the crassly commercial properties they all become. My child , it's all been horrible for a long, long time. I remember the Gwen Stacy clone!

My great disillusionment was in the ancient days of a previous millennium. One day, I picked up the latest issue of Spider-Man, and it wasn't drawn by Steve Ditko. Likewise was the Original Web Master gone from the pages of Doctor Strange. Their true canon ended there. Everything since has been mere franchising.

And Jack Kirby's descendants should be zillionaires. Had to add that.
