Even John Stewart isn't as good as Hal was. I think the Justice League series on Cartoon Network beefs up his character a little too much.

aw man, i used to love batman and the outsiders when i was a sprout...geo-force was dreamy.

I used to LIVE for comics when I was a kid!

Anyone remember the "Secret Wars" series?
[wouldn't Tobey Maguire have looked cooler in that "venom" costume?]

Here's some of my favs:

Favorite comics, huh?

I love Marvels from the sixties, seventies and eighties and have a huuuuuge collection!

Favorites include Jim Starlin's Captain Marvel; Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy's Master Of Kung Fu; Chris Claremont and John Byrne's Iron Fist and Marvel Team-Up; Claremont's entire first run as X-Men, New Mutants, Wolverine and Excalibur writer; Frank Miller's Daredevil; Moon Knight drawn by Bill Sienkiewicz; Roy Thomas and Neal Adams' X-Men, Avengers and Inhumans; Barry Windsor-Smith's various non-Conan stuff; Walter Simonson's Battlestar Galactica and Thor; Avengers, Fantastic Four and Man-Wolf drawn by George Pérez; Rich Buckler's Deathlok; Doctor Strange drawn by Frank Brunner, and so on and so forth.

Favorite heroes include Reed Richards ( DADDY! ) , Black Bolt (the strong, silent type ), Sub-Mariner (he runs around in swim trunks ), Bruce Banner (he's sexy and his relationship with Rick Jones was so gay back in the day), Matthew Murdock (another hot lookin' man ), Nick Fury (manly man, there ), Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin (real dreamy stud ), Marc Spector (he has such a beautiful hairy chest and stomach ) Steve Rogers ( very sexy ) and Claremont's Magneto (tormented hotness ).

Favorite villains include Zaladane and the Savage Land Mutates, Selene, Claremont's Mr. Sinister and the Marauders and such and stuff. They're all so lovely evil

And all the classic Spider-Man villains.

That's open for discussion, as evidenced by this fine analytical essay I wrote for Seriejournalen.dk just last year: http://www.seriejournalen...t=&ID=1058

(And if you can't read danish, check the illustrations).

Well, I guess you already read my essay on that subject, then: http://www.seriejournalen...t=&ID=1069

Secret Wars was utter shit! That almost did comic books in for me!

Thank God for Miller, Moore, Owsley etc.

I remember really liking Secret Wars but I was like 12 so I had yet to really consider the more nuanced aspects of writing funnybooks (which is one of my goals in life, actually - I just gotta figure out how to format a script so I can slap somethin' together and pitch the sucker...yeah, that's the ticket...).

SECRET WARS II, however, was a steaming pile of pig poo, with the Beyonder walkin' around in pink parachute pants and a jheri curl.

Spawn I think....

Sinister said:

it's Spawn

PEJ said:

did Spawn get a makeover? i don't remember him having wings.

Milty said:

I think there are variant Spawns, like there's Housewife Barbie, Model Barbie, Drug-abusing Barbie and so on.

But, uh... I dunno for sure. I read the first 15 issues or so of Spawn, then gave up on it and sold the issues, because, well, quite frankly, it was crap.

Yeah man, I have been a big comic collector for like 30 years. Still buy stuff every week.

I got about 10,000 comics and 300 action figures still in packages.
They are finally coming out with the great comic movies and everyone is now paying attention to all the great stories that have been told over the past 60 years in comic book form.

I love Marvel, DC and Image , but still get independents too.
Some of my favorites have to be Spider-man, Captain America, The Avengers, Batman, JLA, Grendel and many more.

These are about the one form of any entertainment that you can purchase and read and get enjoyment out of them and actually turn around and sell them for profit.
All depends on the supply and demand of the book.

Really cool stuff too!!!

My all time Favorite bad guy now turned kinda good guy....MIGHTY THANOS!!!



And of course my favorite hero (pimpin with his girl) well neither of these guys are heroes or villains really...



Adam Warlock

POOK KNOW HAL JORDAN

POOK READ COMIC FROM LAST YEAR

HE NOW CALLED SPECTRE!

I have been really dissapointed in the direction of the X-men books....I still buy them but some of the current storylines are odd and aren't going anywhere and man what the hell are they doing with the characters?!? I understand progression but lawd! They are completely forgetting about powers, and personality all together....
