"they did what?" comic book runs
- Thread starter JoeZhang
- Start date
Yeah, I bought this despite my hesitations and quickly realized why I was hesitant. Believe in your gut, when it says "this is hurl worthy" believe it.The Punisher - ??????? - The punisher dies and becomes an angel who can summon magic weapons out of thin air...
It is but its worth repeating over and over and over. I've read them all and its yet to get better.
This one I actually didn't mind as it was stated from the start it would be temporary. I viewed it as just another deep undercover story. Did it have a few cheese moments sure but overall I didn't mind this story.
Top 5 worst story arc in Spidey history. Makes "The Big Wheel" villian look good.
Clone Saga was alright and is only viewed as the mess it is because of the EiC change as CS was going to wrap. New EiC came in and wanted a reversal so CS had to be drawn out to get us back to status quo.Spider-Man's Clone Saga along with the return of Norman Osborn.
I had no issue with Norman being back.
Preacher's "Salvation" run I think it was called. The first 2/3 or half of the series is my all time fav comic, but this was just awful. We went from an apocalyptic battle between the Saint and the Grail and US military ending with a nuclear explosion... then we went to an amnesiac one eyed Jesse being a sheriff in a small town fighting neo-nazis. Wow. Not to mention a drugged up Tulip screwing Cassidy. Yikes.
Louise Simonson's run on New Mutants. These kids are on track to being the next X-Men and suddenly they're whiny, addle brained, hook up with a bird-man and get Doug killed pointlessly. Doug, who suddenly has a crush on Rahne, despite a year or more establishing Doug's psychic bond and love for Psylocke who reciprocated his feelings.
The Ultimates Volume 3
Infinite Crisis
Infinite Crisis
It was indicated in a later internal flashback by Psylocke that Doug wasn't quite as ready for an adult relationship as he seemed. However, I agree about the pointlessness of his death.
Bad aging on certain characters. Even using Marvel time, Julie Power should not be in college, and Jack Russell's sister Lisa should not be the mother of an 18-year old young woman. They go on and on about how certain things make Spidey too old. Well, I'd say a super-kid he met as a pre-teen *after* his marriage now attending college ages him and the FF. So if Julie's in college, say about 20, why is Franklin, only one year younger than her sister who was perhaps five years her junior at most, still only 7?
And I will add Spidey's OMD/BND not merely for the stories themselves, but for the hell-bent nature of the Quesadars 'WE ARRRRRE GOING TO DO THIS'. You have a feeling the current staff served on Red Squad?

I don't know I liked it.
Including "The Long Halloween?" His new stuff isn't very good, but I've liked his work with Tim Sale.
Loeb's been writing the same story for a long time, now -- an extended and gratuitous sequence of cameos from a character's entire rogues' gallery nonsensically dressed up as a murder mystery. The Long Halloween would be utter ass without Sale's art, as opposed to the decent art and utter ass of a story that it is now.
And now Marvel's letting him take a hatchet to the Ultimate Universe.
