The stories will be better if writers are at liberty to treat continuity like a buffet rather than a straitjacket.

Hey, don't be knocking on Herman! He was great in Grant Morrison's "Riot at Xavier's" arc, a big jumb jock made of paraffin and easily manipulated by Quentin Quire. Dunno if he was well used...

True. It's very creator dependent as well. Claremont was great with Ororo, Jean, and Kitty in a team context. Early New Mutants stories often revolved around Dani the rebel, and then Magik. Whedon's...

There's not much incentive to take your cool new character to DC or Marvel to see if they can break out, when you could break them out yourself and still own them. So the big "new" characters of the...

Or he could carry a handheld device that can spark butane into a flame. I hear that those exist.

The uniforms work as long as they have distinct body types. The original team had such a mix of skin and hair. It wouldn't work as well with, say, the Avengers, in which Hank Pym, Steve Rogers, and...

Indeed, the extremely dad-like Superman of Kingdom Come was one of the best received. Likewise in New Frontier.

It was called the "sonic whammy" for most of the 1970s in JLA as well. Gerry Conway appears to have been the one to rechristen it her "canary cry" when he took over for Steve Englehart in 1977.

Grant Morrison did this with his recentish Action Comics run. It's also like that in special projects like Superman: Secret Identity.

You are not alone! I was among the many who enjoyed his work. Unfortunately, what he really wanted to do was draw Dr. Strange, but even more than that, he wanted to ride motorcycles, so he didn't...

Kitty Pryde: John Cassaday. Resolute rather than beautiful.

Warlock: Bill Sienkiewicz. Does anyone else's version hit the balance of comedy and horror?

Cyclops: Paul Smith....

Expect a reboot in a few years which restores some sort of Silver/Bronze Age status quo, because that's what the fans and writers enjoy the most.

Agreed. This is just an example of Warner Bros myopia, refusing to commit to a story that spans multiple movies with multiple heroes. If they can't do it with something as simple as JLA, how are...

Cool Wonder Twins cover, though it's always hilarious to see Batman or Robin depicted as swinging through the city like Spider-Man. A split-second after this image, Batman is going to start swinging...

Kirby wins for sure, with Perez not far behind, but here's a more recent one from JH Williams III:

Moore: Swamp Thing. (Reading Wein and Pasko's issues leading up to Moore is a good idea though.)
Levitz: Legion of Super-Heroes
Wolfman: New Teen Titans
O'Neil/Adams: Batman
Kirby's Fourth World...

The Guardian and The Sentinel and Captain America. Even Jack Kirby couldn't tell them apart. Here's a Golden Age panel in which Kirby accidentally refers to Jim "Guardian" Harper as if he were Steve...

That's unfortunately par for the course in superhero movies, especially those based on 1960s comics. But First Class did have Angel Salvatore and Darwin, which is more than might have been expected...

Unfortunately, Marvel's will be out of print six months later.

It was just a weird thing to throw into the mix. "Hey, we all met previously, but none of us remember what happened, and readers have never read such a story, and it doesn't even effect our current...

In Geoff Johns' stories "The Lightning Saga" (in JLA and JSA of 2007) and "Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds" (2008), we are told repeatedly that the three Legions have met before. Apparently this...
