A great era of storytelling. Busiek/Perez were the business. Kang Dynasty and Ultron Unlimited were both incredible. I am also a huge fan of the Dan Jurgens run on Thor. It gets overlooked by the...

Kang is a great character but requires gravitas and an intelligent screenwriter. He's not a simple big-bad like Thanos where a bunch of people can dog pile on him.

Or just keep the show as is. As an insight for kids into the more authentic Marvel U. By far and away Marvel's best animated effort in terms of storytelling and characterization.

I'd imagine...

The publishing arm of the "big two" companies has now become such a small part of their parent companies' revenue stream that it hardly matters anymore. All that the comics do these days is to keep...

So this page is a simple but incredibly effective method of...

Agree on the speech pattern and prose. It's not necessarily Shakespearean English but it's fairly proper. It reads like an Asgardian story and not just a typical Earthbound superhero story.

Almost like a steady/firm hand in editorial created a very coherent overall universe and didn't "stifle creativity" as many have argued. Some actual editorial control would be welcome. Instead on...

So, I've not read comics in years (since the Marvel Now relaunches). I picked up the first two issues of Ewing's run, and I really dig both the characterization and the artwork. The story/plot is...

I haven't seen Blue Beetle yet but it was released in a difficult spot. WB is still trying to wipe away the prior Snyderverse era, the strikes happening in LA, late summer doldrums, etc. At this...

The art looks quite stylish. And I dig the speech pattern.

Thor- John Buscema. Even above Kirby, Simonson, JRJR and Ribic

The publishers forcing "synergy" in the books are stupid. Chasing the mythical "first-time reader" by basically writing/drawing the MCU on page is a losing strategy. #1 reason being that continuous...

Understatement of the century.

An interesting take from the Ewing article. Haven't bought a comic in many years, but he seems to generally "get" the concept of the character/mythos. He harped on the mythological/fantasy aspect...

Mis-post

Now this is a major W type of post.

Especially in comparison with Dan Jurgens's very overlooked and excellent take/run on Thor. As far as modern stories go (Heroes Return and on).

The "street-level character overcoming the uber-powerful one" has been overdone to death, resurrected and beaten to death over and over.

JMS' Thor is certainly overhyped. It's a story that has great themes but is massively decompressed and was cut short before JMS could pay off any of the set-up he started with. It sort of reminded...

Villains have to succeed at something to antagonize the hero. The whole "beauty of the struggle" narrative, or hero's journey has to involve some failure at some point.

Not thinking about MCU really, so I'd say the three biggest have always been Spider-Man, the Hulk and Wolverine. From the 60's-80's Thor, Captain America and Iron Man were very relevant but as the...

Like others have said, even if some MCU movies have been good or entertaining, they don't come close to the depth and/or breadth of the source material. What's worse is the forced "synergy" for the...

American society in general is way less comfortable with sex/nudity/innuendo than others are overseas. Sort of amusing.

The correct answer. It set a horrible precedent of nothing mattering.

He probably wasn't.
