Snowden is in Exile in Moscow, Mar-Vell hides on earth. There would have even been another mega-crossover possible (although Marvel was more hesitant at that time): Exile on Earth. With the avengers arguing whether they should subject earth to the risk of hosting one enlightened e-soldier. Of course, Mar-Vell would have to had access to some super-secret stuff from the supreme intelligence... Oh my, this is probably more than just fan-fiction :-) <br /><br />Anyway, I stick to the point that more would have been possible with this highly complex character. Even your post with the old stuff from before the change to the blue and red uniform would seamlessly fit into this. <br /><br />Tbh, I never read any of the books that followed Starlin. I did read the second last and last books however, with Moench writing and Borderik pencilling and found those stories quite interesting, too (CM having adventures on Titan in a story drwaing upon the ramifications of Thanos' terror on Titan - again, drawing on concepts by Starlin). <br /><br />So, a lot would have been possible with this traitor, but no one had the courage? <br /><br />Mirko, YeaHaw!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-71387661926192268562015-06-17T19:09:34.710-04:002015-06-17T19:09:34.710-04:00While I've already gone on record as being a f...While I've already <a href="http://peerlesspower.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-unsung-issues-of-captain-marvel.html" rel="nofollow">gone on record</a> as being a fan of the Englehart/Milgrom run on CM, I do agree that Starlin is a hard act to follow. I wouldn't have minded seeing more of his work on this book without an epic to tuck Mar-vell safely into, since his stories with both Mar-vell and Warlock hit such high notes when they were dealing with expanded storylines and grandiose concepts that were plotted out over months.<br /><br />Would Mar-vell have continued to be as impressive if he'd remained on Earth, even under Starlin's watch? I think it's unlikely; for one thing, what do you do with all that cosmic awareness, even if you're tagging along with the Avengers? And if he instead hung out in the cosmos, as Warlock did, he'd have to lose Rick Jones and hopefully find the readership and intriguing concepts that Warlock let slip away. I think that Milgrom and Englehart picked up Mar-vell's reins as well as anyone; and in time, perhaps Starlin would have found himself just as daunted as anyone who tried to breathe new life into this character and sustain his interest.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-75854247317684820212015-06-17T07:48:42.083-04:002015-06-17T07:48:42.083-04:00I know I've been corrected a few times, perhap...I know I've been corrected a few times, perhaps inconsiderate to the Englehart/Milgrom tenure on MarVell, but it just didn't hold any significance for me without Starlin.<br /><br />It's like a Gerber-less Howard the Duck. david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-83298041527244966762015-06-17T05:45:16.861-04:002015-06-17T05:45:16.861-04:00gosh, what a difference from Starlin.
