Terrfics was bad to me, everyone was kinda of out of character. Sideways was great except for the art. Haven't read SilencerTo be fair, I didn't read comics in 93. But New Age of Heroes was mostly not-great, save for Terrifics, Sideways, and Silencer.
What is with people shitting on Rocafort lately? He's amazing.Terrfics was bad to me, everyone was kinda of out of character. Sideways was great except for the art. Haven't read Silencer
He is! Look at this:Sideways was one of my favorite cape books in a long time, and Rocafort is one of the all time GOATs.
Wish Sideways was like that, it looked like it needed V-Sync and AA
Better than Quietly at leastWhat is with people shitting on Rocafort lately? He's amazing.
Bloodlines was greatnessShouldn't you be comparing Marvel's 1993 annuals to DC's 1993 annuals (Bloodlines)?

The only Bloodlines character anyone remembers is Hitman.
I will ahve to watch it againIsn't Metamorpho the only one of those characters still really active? Or rather he's the only one I know that's still around(he's a pretty fun character though).
Also Slayven id love to see you breaking down all the references over in the marvel ultimate alliance 3 thread from the trailer, there's a few fun teases
Ultimo is a big one since well he teases you know who. But that's enough in this threadWish Sideways was like that, it looked like it needed V-Sync and AA

I'm personally trying to remind myself since I only have around 5 of these issues that I read as a kidMentioning Peter David's version of Genis is both deceptive and evil. Best early 00s Marvel run :'(
Who knows how good Sideways will turn out to be in a decade. But it's a decent start. The Terrifics and that Ghost Rider guy are alright too.
No idea what most of the 90s Marvel annuals were about though.
Dude, I thought that would be the first to go.
But that's not from when the book was created. The bet with Jemas happened in 2002:Reminder that PAD's Genis book was part of a bet between which would sell better, it or Jemas' Marville
U-Decide
Marville was created as part of Marvel's U-Decide promotional campaign, in which fans would decide which of three books would survive. The event involved one existing book (Peter David's Captain Marvel, whose numbering was restarted at issue #1) and two new books (Marville and Ron Zimmerman's Ultimate Adventures), and was based around a bet between David and Jemas, of which Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada later became a part. Jemas changed the stakes of the bet a few issues into Marville, stating that the loser would take a pie in the face for charity. Despite this, both Marville and Ultimate Adventures ended fairly quickly, while the rebooted Captain Marvel would last 25 more issues, for a total of 60 issues when combined with the first run.
Reminder that PAD's Genis book was part of a bet between which would sell better, it or Jemas' Marville
The main character is Kal-AOL Turner, the son of Ted Turner and Jane Fonda from 5002. Kal-AOL is sent back in time via a time machine made out of video game systems. Despite having no superpowers, he tries to be a superhero. After some adventures as a Superhero, he and his friends decide to use their time machine to travel back to the origin of time and talk to God. Jack (who is never definitively stated to be God) takes Al and his friend through the times of the dinosaurs and neanderthals, explaining the origins of life and bestowing the secret of world peace to Al in the process. Al tries to have his story published as a series of comic books to share the secret of world peace, but is rejected because his story is not about superheroes or action.
The title is a reference to the TV series Smallville; the cover of issue #1 features the main character tied up as a scarecrow with a red 'M' painted on his chest, much as Tom Welling is in the first episode of Smallville and in related publicity material.
MarVille ends up talking to god by end of series and it's panels with text all over the page with no bubbles or boxesI had completely forgotten about that. The character was created like a decade before and already had his own series (and was prominent in Busiek's Avengers Forever along with Songbird as future Avengers), but it was cancelled and renumbered so PAD could start it fresh.
For those that want to be reminded the trash that Jemas dug up, here's the summary:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marville_(comics)
It's entirely possible that someone hacked this page and this is all false (how would I know, I never read Marville) but sadly I don't think that's the case.
Jemas was also responsible for this gem of a Spidey title:

Oh man, the (bad) memories are flooding back. All the money I wasted on this trash.

I didn't start the day wanting to remember Marville or Ultimate Adventures
After being bitten by the Bloodlines Parasite, Argus' body underwent a mutagenic process that endowed him with several superpowers. He can become invisible in shadows
Ahahaha. Argus is right up there with Aztek. 🤣
Mongrel is male, female or genderneutral?
Thanks for the link. Yeah, I don't know most of these, I think the Marvel publisher in my country used to skip the annuals back then, with a few exceptions here and there.I'm personally trying to remind myself since I only have around 5 of these issues that I read as a kid

Do you have the Namor one? Where he scares Apocalypse off with a coffee table?All the 1993 Marvel Annual issues I've read have all been great. The New Age of Heroes stuff by DC had a lot of potential but after all the delays I feel like they lost all of their momentum.

No lol, havent seen that one yet.Do you have the Namor one? Where he scares Apocalypse off with a coffee table?
