Ultimate Spider-Man is Peter Parker no more... they killed him and his replacement is half black/half Latino... Miles Morales... Who the heck is Miles Morales? The newest Marketing ploy from Marvel...
We interrupt this pseudonews related rant with some PONIES!!
OK, where was I... Why is Miles Morales doomed to fail?
-First, He reeks of "Marketing Ploy" The whole big announcement stuff that made this article possible is proof enough. Like all Marketing ploys it'll eventually be shoved under the rug and quickly forgotten. (Especially if it backfires on Marvel)

-Replacing Spider-Man has been tried before and it failed... They tried to Replace Peter Parker with... Peter Parker... And that was a massive failure.
-The replacing a hero with another one of different ethnicity rarely works when it's done for shock value...
Monday was the sale for Mattycollector.com's SDCC items. I was able to sang a Marlena Glenn. The curious thing was that they HAD an All Star sale in which they were getting rid of some older figures (such as He-Man, Skeletor, She-Ra, The 4 Ghostbusters, Superman, etc.) set up for customers who discovered the site AFTER SDCC... All the way until August 15th (or the items ran out).
During Monday August 1st the All Star stuff was marked Sold out! and the Allstar Page was inaccessible during the time of the SDCC sale. Now the items are back up! WTF MATTEL!? That's ridiculous... It's like y'all want the products to fail... Kinda like the Club Infinite Earths.

Now that I mentioned Club Infinite Earths, let me get a bit deeper into it. Mattel is Killing DCUC. I mean, the line as it is is going through a reboot... kinda like DC Comics. The collector oriented characters will be on the Sub program Club Infinite Earths, while your basic Superman, Batman, GL will be in retail (most likely based on the new DC Universe designs.)
Also you'd get 3 Large scale beasts not available on Retail (They're killing the collect and connect)
Sounds fine and dandy, BUT this is the only Subscription that has a gauge that determines if this will be done or not... Unlike Voltron, Ghostbusters or MOTU... As of today the subscriptions to CIE are at a 20-something % of what they need... The sub period ends this Friday... It's official Matty is killen teh lien...
