[QUOTE=DrNewGod;4901503]I really enjoyed the entire MC2 line. Like [I]Infinity, Inc.[/I] over at DC a decade earlier, it was a bit prone to replay some of the previous gen's greatest hits, but it was still lots of fun.[/QUOTE]
And it was even better that it showed a universe where the future actually did improve and heroes were able to accomplish changes for the better, instead of stagnating into a bleak morass of continual misery like 616 degenerated into during the 2000s.

alternate worlds - might want to try the original exiles series - as menioned , it's the sliders of the marvel universe.

Also the first Excalibur series had a 12 issue storyline near the beginning of the run called the Crosstime Caper where they were jumping from reality to reality.
Among other realities it featured takes on Judge Dredd and the Dirty Pair.

The Crosstime Caper was awesome.
A couple of my favorite bits were Rick Jones, going on about his sidekick status. He even offers to sidekick for Captain Britain...”You’d be My third Captain”!
Also, Giant Man got so huge the team actually landed on him.
His every breath changed local weather patterns. It was pretty epic and sad for Hank.
Damn, now I wanna read that book over!

[QUOTE=Riv86672;4901311]The MC2 Spider-Girl book was really great.

Can't believe I didn't think of this one. This was really good but I think was overlooked because of the Ultimate line which came out at the same time.

Agreed.
I remember it was always in danger of cancellation.

Ultimate was a lot edgier than MC2, the latter being more about straightforward superhero stories told through the lens of a new generation taking up where the old left off, while the former was about reinterpreting classic superheroes for a more modern era, with all the cynicism, if not even nihilism, that had crept into the cultural psyche by then. Of course Ultimate would get more press and more attention than MC2; MC2 was just continuing where 616 left off, with all the associated "baggage," and Ultimate was "new and fresh."
[QUOTE=Riv86672;4903732]Agreed.

Yeah, but the fans kept saving it each and every time because of sheer positive word of mouth.

Thank you very much for that. I mean that sincerely.

Man, word of mouth is a lot easier nowadays, isn’t it?
Back then we’d actually have to blindside ppl at the comic shop itself!
