Would you be interested in reading such a series?

No, but that pic makes me feel like saying, "Fred Dukes ROCKS!!!!".

I'd read it, no question.

With all due respect to Marvel Comics, to me The Blob will always be an underrated horror movie remake in the '80s that was unjustly panned by critics.

Actually, what we IMWANkers really want to see is Blob vs. TAFT!!!!

A story that truly deserves to be a special event!

"Dave! CO2! Dave, can you hear me Dave?! CO2!"

He's got no powers now, right? Last time I saw him he was super skinny and a huge amount of stretched out skin

Didn't Blob get cured?

That's year one, is it?

Blob: The End

I'm not supposed to leak this, but the press release is going out on Thursday anyway, so:

And now you know.

No, that was . Why do you lie like that, Taft. I hate it when you lie.

It's not my fault. I have Abrupt Disassociation Disorder. Blame the illness.

You know what happens to a blob that gets struck by lightning?

Chunks of fat EVERYWHERE. Gross.

Read it? I LIVED it!

Not in the very least!

I can see Marvel trying a Blob miniseries. It would be one of those that they put out with no fanfare, for no apparent reason, that doesn't sell very many copies. They do that all the time.

They might even try it as an ongoing. In that case somewhere around issue three or four (i.e. when it becomes clear that it's crashing and burning) they'll sudden start soliciting the last couple of issues as a mini, as if that had been the plan all along.

I would read it if it starred Steve McQueen!!

Who did that art, by the way? I really like it. Love the watercolour look.

Is such a series in the works? It seems like an odd choice. I always liked the Blob as an X-Men villain -- mainly the way he was the evergreen member of the Brotherhood, no matter how the roster changed around him. He was the Tim Meadows of Evil Mutants!

But seeing him solo, I don't know. I can't say I find him THAT interesting.

Not that I'm aware of. Just thought it would be an interesting idea. I like The Blob, he's a very primal character with cool powers, wish he had joined The X-Men in his first appearance and stuck around to be a permanent rebel/irritant/problem child for the team. Always hitting on Jean, fighting with the other boys ....

What--Wolverine didn't end up being enough trouble when he came along?

Besides, Wolverine's got that cool power that lets him appear in a dozen or more books every month. I guess he must have learned something from meeting Jamie Madrox.
