Rob Liefeld said on Word Balloon a few shocking things regarding X-Men
makes sense:
*Notice how there were no toys for X-Men: First Class as Marvel owns
the toy rights.
*Notice no X-Men tie-in comic books.
*Was there even a video game?
*Notice how there are less mutants in the comics (Liefeld said Marvel
doesn't want to create new properties for FOX to exploit). That's why
"No More Mutants" happened.
*Over push of The Avengers is because Marvel OWNS those properties.
*Comic book wise, he mentioned how the X-Men are hardly involved in
many of the major Marvel events anymore.
*He says Marvel treats the X-Men like a "licensed property".
Marvel focusing heavy on merchandise and not owning X-Men showed how
the lack of promotion now makes sense.
Heck, it even makes sense how Daredevil, Fantastic Four & Elektra are
actually NON-Factors in the Marvel Comics world.
SONY and Marvel are on better terms, thus why they push alot of Spidey
toys, games, etc.

When the movies first started, they basically turned the comic version
into the movie version...thank God they got over that.
>*Was there even a video game?
Not sure for First Class but I know there were for the other movies.
>*Notice how there are less mutants in the comics (Liefeld said Marvel

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the big sales of the Avengers and
overwhelming popularity of THOSE movies.
>*Comic book wise, he mentioned how the X-Men are hardly involved in

That was true long before the movies started...though it kind of
undercuts his other point about "no more mutants" since that happened
in a big Marvel event.
>*He says Marvel treats the X-Men like a "licensed property".
If they really wanted to screw over FOX, they would hire Liefeld back
onto the X-Men comics and kill the franchise...then they could do
whatever they wanted.

First Class wasn't very toyable.
