You get the point.
    I will forever be grateful to Kurt Busiek for absolving the comicbook character Marvel Girl from the unforgivable crime of genocide

    by revealing that the Phoenix entity made for itself a body which was an exact duplicate down to the molecular level and brain-patterns of Marvel Girl

    and proceeded to impersonate Marvel Girl's civilian identity of Jean Grey
    The other image that was recorded alongside Marvel Girl is Rachel Summers aka Prestige.


    Praise Kurt Busiek!!!

    Have people actually picked up an 80’s comic recently? Half the diologue is characters restating what is obvious from the art. People say you got more for your buck back then but that is only because comics were cheaper. Stories only seem decompressed because we are reading them in a form they were t meant to be viewed in. They were written as graphic novels, not as floppies. They only cut them up into floppies because people are use to that format.

    Jim Shooter had part of FF #286 rewritten by Chris Claremont and redrawn by Jackson Guice, which is why John Byrne's name did not appear in the credits. The retcon that brought Jean back was suggested by Kurt Busiek, who received special thanks in the credits, along with Roger Stern.

    Well not so much suggested, as Kurt often relates, he was asked if you were to bring back Jean Grey, how would you do it and he answered, but told them bringing her back was a bad idea that would alienate a lot of fans. So he never suggested they do it, he just answered a hypothetical he was asked and Shooter ran with it because he thought bringing Jean back would be good for sales.

    If you look through the various Ask Kurt Busiek threads, you can probably find this question asked and answered by him, but I've seen his response to it in other places as well.

    Not quite -- it was a conversation with Roger Stern, back in 1983, when he and his wife were nice enough to put me up at their place while I was a guest at Ithaca.

    In conversation, it came up that I was a big fan of the original X-Men, and Roger said yeah, him too, and it was too bad you could never gather them back together again.

    I said, "Ah, but there's always a way."

    He said, "No, Jim Shooter has this rule, see --"

    "I know," I said. "A couple of friends of mine and I heard about that before the issue even came out, and we spent an evening coming up with ways to get around it." I told him my idea, and he liked it.

    No one was asking for plans, no one was pitching anything. We were just talking comics.

    Later, Roger told the idea to John Byrne, who also liked it, and when X-FACTOR was a-borning, John called Bob Layton and said, "You want Jean back?"

    John and Bob pitched it to their editor and to Shooter, and Shooter said okay, go ahead.

    I didn't hear about any of the stuff that happened after that Ithacon until Bob Layton (who I'd never met before) came up to me in the Marvel Bullpen, and said, "I hear I have you to thank for getting Jean Grey back!"

    I think I brightly said, "Huh?"

    Jim Shooter arranged to get me paid and credited (I think he thought that using a fan idea wouldn't be a problem, since ideas are not copyrightable, but using an idea that a guy who was currently working for Marvel (as the Assistant Editor on MARVEL AGE) might create some sort of legal difficulty, so they'd better secure title to it).

    But it was just fannish conversation for me. It wasn't anything anyone decided to pitch until John called Bob.

    But the money sure came in handy -- I was dead broke at the time!

That’s the test right there choose any random selection of titles from the big two now and compare them to a random selection of 80s and 90s comics. It’s not even a contest. Today’s comics are a joke.

    To me, the 2010's is the worst decade for comics with the possibility of the 2020's decade surpassing it.

    It is, if you read the big two. It is not if you decide to read independents like Image, IDW, MAD Cave and so on.

    Agreed. The sentence is to be : "To me, the 2010's is the worst decade for DC and Marvel Comics with the possibility of the 2020's decade surpassing it."

    To me, you have to break the 90's into halves. To me the first half of the '90s was pure garbage, you had to look really hard to find stuff that was good (Vertigo, lesser-known big two books). But I feel the mid and late '90s were actually a renaissance period for the big two.

    the 2000s were the opposite to me. The renaissance of the late '90s carried over into the early 2000's. but towards the middle of the decade I felt the big two were kind of running in place. Most of the innovation was comming from the indies at that point. I feel the 2010s was by far the weakest era. I feel its the first decade were you could feel that most of the comics being made were movie pitches rather then comics.
