I thought comic fans were bitching alot about the 5 page back ups in our comics.

Yeah, they have it worse.
What does everyone else thing of what, IMO, has to be one of the weirdest company crossover I have ever seen... there is no logical point to it?
I scoured the web for feedback from Guiding Light viewers and got the following sample from the Guiding Light message board (tough crowd to say the least!):
* I made my husband watch the Marvel Comic Guiding Light with me yesterday. He loves comics, cartoons, etc., and I just don't get into them. I wanted his input so I could try to see this as something other than horrid. It didn't work. Even he thought it was stupid - and not at all well done. We only watched the first 30 minutes or so. Couldn't take it any longer. Yesterday was the first time in 25 years that I have turned off an episode of GL. I am totally bewildered as to why they would even attempt something that ridiculous. Even the actors didn't look comfortable. Especially Ricky (Gus). He looked embarrassed. I was too.
* If Guiding Light is going to make a Comic Book Character Hero!then I'm going to switch channels and watch something else........I have been watching GL for many years. Even though GL has it's bad side, it also has good sides. I am Retired, and I stay with channel 2 all the time....If they the (writers) change onnnnnnne single thing,except a character,replacement I will stop watching the show.
* Draw in that all important young teenage boy demographic that every soap longs for
And what does Marvel Comics get out of this deal ? That all important middle-aged woman demographic that all comic book manufacturers are constantly seeking out !!!! This has got to be the dumbest deal ever made. It's a Lose/Lose situation anyway you look at it !!!!
* GL has been getting more and more bizarre - Reva and her miracle cure, Jeffrey the rapist, Beth married to Alan, Harley the superhero? - what next??? It makes Passions look like Hamlet. What I would do is have one of the characters wake up and realize most of the year was a total dream (Blake probably and have her use the dream as material for her next book) - no cancer for Reva, no Harley at Spaulding, Jeffrey just being Jeffrey, Rick, Mel and an appropriately aged-Leah still a family, etc. This would give GL a chance to get back on track with a clean slate. Would you buy into it?
