I mean, sure. But the waiting rooms have really nice seats.That is like getting your legs chopped off to see how good your local hospital is

Technobabble the comic i call it,you are right.
If they had done it any other way then the Dr.Light stuff I think it would have been an average to good story. But the Dr.Light stuff is so over the top the fact they used it as a running joke for like a year afterwards really sours the whole thing.
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.
Spider-man... Or Peter Parker at the very least is Marvel's most boring character. Nostalgia goggles on all of you.
Ah, that explains a lot, thanks!When Kirby was at Marvel a guy named Vince Colletta inked a lot of Kirby's work and he has a pretty infamous reputation. He was put on books because he could get shit done extremely fast but a lot of Kirby fans think he ruined the art. In the 70s a guy named Mike Royer started inking Kirby's comics and he is generally regarded as being a lot better.
I wish super hero comics had solid beginnings middles and endings like manga.
people read the OP?
people who suggest that idea have no clue how the industry works
I think this could be fixed if creators and companies signed on for a specific length of a run, like what Morrison is doing with 24 issues on Green Lantern. Once the run is over, have a new volume for the new creative team.I wish super hero comics had solid beginnings middles and endings like manga.
The comics industry allows different combinations of creative teams to tell their spin on characters. When they leave, another story with another team starts.people who suggest that idea have no clue how the industry works
IDW and Image comics output has been putting DC and Marvel to shame for years.
both of them have been faltering in the amount of quality they've been putting out in recent years
I have no problem with Slott. I agree with the positive takes on him in this thread. I thought it was overall a great era for ASM.
Some of the Claremont criticism in this thread is madness though.
I know a lot of people love Spencer's current run but it has done absolutely nothing for me. Slott's run was crazy and full of big ideas and explored new things. At the end of it all it mostly went back in the toy box but it was really worth it overall.
Zdarksy is the best current Spider-Man writer by a mile. What he did with JJJ is some of the best Spidey stuff ever.
His work on Nightwing back in the day was quite good. I haven't enjoyed any of his stuff since then though.
The fact that this isn't the baseline at which all American comics work is so weird to me, I would pick up so many more comics if I knew I was getting 12 issues of ______ by ______(for instance) instead of the nebulous system the big two have these days.I think this could be fixed if creators and companies signed on for a specific length of a run, like what Morrison is doing with 24 issues on Green Lantern.

pretty sure you're reading it but PSA to everyone else: Spider Man Life Story is fantastic so far. legit shaping up to be one of the best spidey stories of the past decade at a minimum.
I mean, I see the Cyclops was right shit all the time, I don't recall seing people sticking up for him as a good person. Maybe back in the day when he was boyscout paranoid about Wolverine and Jean.
Holy shit. I thought that about Guy since forever. I also think if the every revive the GL movie it need the GG at the helm.Batman punching Guy Gardner isn't funny and shows how immature he is. AND Gardner has EONS more character development than Bats have in the last 30 years and is the better character of the two

For the most part I agree. But that was also the point of the Uncanny Avengers series, where they made a team exclusively of Avengers and X-Men, to show the world that they can work together. And for the most part it did bring some benefit to the idea. At least after that first arc and the whole Havok "dont call me a Mutant speech".edit: Oh, and no X-Man should ever be on the Avengers, the minute you have Wolverine or Beast dicking around with Captain America the whole "hated by the masses" thing becomes untenable.
Man, this was some next level "I don't see color" bullshit. I've grown to hate that run in retrospect.At least after that first arc and the whole Havok "dont call me a Mutant speech".
As a perpetually salty Tim fan I want him as far away from being Robin again as possible.That is just fact. The only people that disagree are salty Tim fans.
The other problem is that it acts like mini-series and limited runs etc etc somehow don't exist. Or hell go outside of "mainstream" cape comics and people would find exactly what they claim to want.The comics industry allows different combinations of creative teams to tell their spin on characters. When they leave, another story with another team starts.
There's no value in having to read EVERY ISSUE of a certain character. I don't understand this mentality. It's ridiculous.
Good point. It is a perfectly acceptable storyline to work with but the creators have to then move past the 'Mutants = hated minority' concept if it is going to continue in the long run. The core identity of the X-Men(Mutants as minority) is the absolute bedrock of the book and it has to be dealt with all the time, any time an X-book fails to engage with it it does a disservice to the great conceit at the center of it all.For the most part I agree.

Before that run, it felt like Bendis just wanted to use characters like Wolverine, without any care for that sort of stuff.
Luckily that run becomes awesome after that first arc. If it wasn't for Hickman's stuff, it would've been the best Avengers book at the time. Plus it had the added benefit of being a sequel to Uncanny X-Force.Man, this was some next level "I don't see color" bullshit. I've grown to hate that run in retrospect.
Yes, f*ck sins pastJMS' Spider-Man had far more misses than hits despite having a pretty great status quo
Actually, while I agree it starts off bad, I find it becomes terrible afterwards.Luckily that run becomes awesome after that first arc. If it wasn't for Hickman's stuff, it would've been the best Avengers book at the time. Plus it had the added benefit of being a sequel to Uncanny X-Force.
Agreed. X-Men and Avengers generally don't overlap very well. Both have their own dynamics, and they make for a crowded field anyway.This is why I 100% DO NOT want the X-Men in the MCU. Their concept works better in isolation and they should be off in their own world dealing with it.
One of the few things Morrison did that I like was dealing with mutants as a minority group in a variety of places and ways. House of M pretty much undid that. I wasn't interested in a world with just 200 mutants.And to double down: The X-Men's obsession with not dealing with its core identity, that is the whole Mutant minority and its interaction with the rest of the world, instead focusing on aliens, time travel, and alternate who-gives-a-shits, is the worst thing to happen to the franchise.
