A year and a half later...I think you may be right!!

In some ways, that's in keeping with the mythology--according to most traditions, Odin banged just about anything that moved and had more kids than even he was aware of. But the "who's who" of it...

I just remembered another plot point that came in around the same time. Loki gives Balder a ring and tells him to whisper his (Loki's) name to it whenever he's in trouble and Loki will come to help...

Lol good questions, I'd love to know myself. The only big Norn Witch story I know of was when they manipulated Kelda into joining them and tried to use her connections to help them conquer Asgard....

Hey guys, so I've been an on-and-off Thor fan since the 90s, but didn't start reading the book regularly until the Aaron run.

Over the past 6 monthslea or so, I've been playing catchup, reading...

I've always been a big FF fan, and those three issues are some of Scott's best work (Alan Davis's too.) When those came out, I remember feeling like a starved animal who'd just been thrown a...

God I would love to interview Scott and/or any of the other writers (Nicieza, Kelly, Seagle, etc.) about this whole period. I always got the feeling that none of them were allowed to do much...

Hey guys, hoping you can help me with something. I’m reading through the entire adjectiveless X-Men series, and I’ve reached the all-too brief Mark Waid era (issues 50-56, roughly.) I tried to find...

After reading your 2nd link, I still side mostly with Larsen...but I had forgotten about all his ludicrous claims of his work being "swiped." He was wayyyyy out in left field with that stuff. As a...

Wow this is great! Thanks so much!

Lol thanks for digging that up. Larsen stated once that he liked to pretend that Marvel, DC, and Image somehow all existed in the same universe, and he would include "cameos" of Marvel and DC...

Lol Dragon fought Superman once, but I don't think they ever did Hulk. I'm all for it, but it'd be hard to draw without it looking like a big blob of green. Maybe if it was against Grey Hulk...
...

I believe it was also part of a larger feud between PAD and Image in general. IIRC, PAD and some other Marvel guys challenged Todd to a public debate at one of the conventions, and the Marvel guys...

Thanks for that! Yes, let's please stick to criticism and analysis of David's and Larsen's work, not the men themselves. Apologies if I've blurred that line anywhere.

Lol I'm not a huge fan of his art either. When he's paired with a talented inker, his work can be decent. But generally his pencils are too sketchy for my tastes. My point was that Larsen is better...

Disagree. I agree that his run sucked, but not that it was intentional. Larsen was also trying to write Wolverine and Nova and write and draw Savage Dragon all simultaneously. He's admitted he got in...

First, for those unfamiliar, a timeline of events. Apologies for the vagaries and guesses, I don't remember the exact dates of everything and didn't want to do hours of research for a message board...

Me too! It gave the character a lot more depth and made his transformation into the mutated, super-powered Smythe all that more intense. He was a regular source of misery for SM and had an...

And now that I've read the full thread, I've gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed. OP lobbed up a great question that should've sparked a lot of thoughts from a lot of sources, yet 90% of the replies...

- Even though we ultimately find out that it's a facade to mask her trauma, 616 MJ's early "life's a party" personality is pretty hard to get behind...I much preferred her as the sweet, innocent girl...

Oh god, like I said I haven't gotten to the end yet. When a previous poster mentioned a catfight, I thought he was being figurative...

Like I said, it wasn't so much the changes that bothered me, but more the quality of the storytelling. As I continue to read you guys' delightful responses, I'm believing more and more that "the fans...

Wow. Gross.

Johnny accused Ben of putting Crystal on the team to get revenge on Johnny for marrying Alicia Masters. This was pretty stupid on Johnny’s part, as Crystal had volunteered to join the...

I think it’s pretty clear Steve had some issues with women, or with writing them at least. He’s no misogynist, and sometimes he writes women quite well. But then you have scenes like the one...

That's an excellent point. Despite having been around for ~20 years, Surfer was an (almost inexplicably) untapped resource, and his powers let him go anywhere and do anything. If nothing else, Steve...
