    Default How marvel used to promote it's comics!

    Was not sure if this goes here or the classic comics but with all the new events and how they promote them today with internet, lets go back in time before the web and see how marvel used to make ads for their comics and lets grade how well they did. Do you think these ads would sell the book or did they need a better one? Did these ads make you want to pick up the book? If nothing else it is a neat flashback!

    Lets start with these few. What do you guys think of them? Hit or miss?

    The more things change, the more they stay the same... every single one of those heroes in that last ad is in either X-Men Gold, X-Men Blue, Titans or Teen Titans, except for Cyborg (who is with the Justice League, to the chagrin of a large portion of the DC fanbase).

    And that can't be too long before Dick Grayson became Nightwing, considering it's late enough that the X-Men have Kitty in their ranks.

    Fixed the pictures. Kind of a mess but at least you can see them now.

    Yes, and it was quite good.
    And Emma Frost was a horrible manipulative *******.
