I've not really seen it phrased elsewhere as a voting issue so much as "PAD says he'll keep Shatterstar around if people want him, but he doesn't have plans past issue 50". I don't think this is a bigger Marvel thing.

(Not that PAD isn't kind of a creepy dick, so who knows what his actual thoughts on the matter are.)

I remain cautiously optimistic as to how this will all play out. Lord knows it's taken long enough.
