Marvel chickened out. It would have been the best answer for everything.
I don't like the look of Kirby's 60s comics.
Maybe it was the inker's fault, I have no idea.
But 70s Kirby is where it's at.

I don't think this is a hot take, and it's one of the reasons OMD was reviled
He also died again during the Inversion. He died a hero in fact. It was a decent send off and he should have stayed gone.
I blame the Venom movie.
Leaning into having Peter Parker become an increasingly distant corporate exec would've been great and could've stemmed the eventual slow reset to baseline.
Im not sure I'd ts controversial but it's just bizarre to me that DKR gets all this love and reverence while Year One goes unmentioned most of the time.
Also here's an opinion-Frank Millar sucks as an artist.
Mazuchelli is a god
I don't hate Frank Miller's art but I liked it a lot more when his style was still somewhat tied to the 80s Marvel house style aka his first Daredevil run and the Wolverine miniseries (and the issues of Spider-Man he did in the 70s).
Patch comics made Mr. Fixit what we know today, the hulk series was more focused on the return of green during that run.
That is because year one is just a bad Born Again.Im not sure I'd ts controversial but it's just bizarre to me that DKR gets all this love and reverence while Year One goes unmentioned most of the time.

This is an opinion I can get behind. I feel similarly about the Steve Ditko Spider-Man issues.
Ha true
I'll add "Miles' better" to that to make it sufficiently controversial
Me too man. Both of those runs featured fully realized characters that people have been chasing ever since.
Oh here's one. A lot of the early X-men stuff is straight up bad.
Dark Reign is the only halfway interesting thing they've done with Osborn in decades
I feel like the same could be said for Ditko on ASM.
That is just fact. The only people that disagree are salty Tim fans.
I don't think anyone has written a great run since the early 90's. Most of it is really good (Morrison) to just straight up bad.
The only good X-Men comics in the original pre-cancellation run were the Neal Adams/Roy Thomas ones IMO and they were only together for like 6 issues.
Well... Yeah.
Even Marvel has acknowledged that many times I think.
I've seen people on this forum look back on it like it was good
Tom Taylor's All-New Wolverine and X-Men Red was top notch and he deserved to write the main X-Books.
Well to each their own of course and it's not like I've read every issue myself but artwork aside, the pre-Claremont era has generally never been that well regarded I think. I'm sure there are some good issues here and there though.
But does Bruce consider them his kids or does he still only refer to Damian as his child?
I've been saying this forever. Superheroes have a huge untapped market in Latino viewers. An X-Men or Batfam telenovela would be amazing.
100%. I think it's one of those things you had to be there in the moment for.
I read it for the first time this year and once the first couple of issues were out of the way I really enjoyed it. art was great too.
but holy fuck it is a slog to read through. some of those older comics are hard to read nowadays
He's the better Flash but Wally is the better character
I might be joking about this but I also might not
Identity Crisis is actually alright
Bart Allen should've remained The Flash until Barry came back.

It gets a lot more credit than it deserves because it came after 5+ years of some of the worst Spider-Man comics published. People were starved for something decent after The Clone Saga/Howard Mackie/John Byrne. It also had a really strong start which probably helped.

I am about to lock this thread, this take isn't hot, it's the Planck Temp
JMS's run up to Sins Past was glorious. JMS's run Sins Past and beyond was a fucking mess with a couple of good issues.
I knew that would be the one to do it. Despite the obviously problematic and grimdark bullshit, I like the efforts Meltzer made to make the DC heroes feel like they had a community. It's why I'm more appreciative of his JLA as well.
I don't know where people fall on this first one but Spider-Mand had way too many current books.
The Ultimate universe was crazy and too edgy at times but fun because it shook things up.
Gabby is/was better than all the Wolverines combined(I think she is getting boring as it feels like they are aging her up) and they also should have left Logan dead(Keep Old Man for people that really wanted Logan).
Peter Parker should have stayed rich.
