    Default Another Bleeding Cool rumor, but if true, I'd be all for it

    Kind of what happened with Claremont doing his X-Men continuation. I'd love to see some of the old school creators back hopefully using some current techniques. I'm also NOT suggesting these replace newer, innovative books, but seeing some of the classic stuff from the seventies and eighties updated could be fun.

    Please discuss and don't let my post die of loneliness.

    I would buy stuff from a line like this if Mark Gruenwald could be involved .

    But this is an alright idea for the 80th anniversary. My only demand is no Byrne stuff.

    Give me John Byrne (writer), David Finch (artist) and Blue Marvel.

    I haven't read Byrne in years, but if he could somehow tap into what he was doing back during his first FF run, I won't complain.

    LOL! Wait, I though this was supposed to be classic, not the 90s.;p
    Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?

    Mullet Tony was 80s. Season 2 of the 90s cartoon gave him that style because it was adapting stories from that era.

    Well CB Cebulski has openly spoken about Byrne's X-Men: Elsewhen project and I think his desires outrank yours.

    Does Busiek & Bagley Thunderbolts count as 'classic?'

    Heinberg & Cheung on (the original lineup of) Young Avengers?

    PAD on X-Factor (led by Madrox)?

    Vaughn on Runaways? DeFalco & Frenz revisit the classic New Warriors?

    Moore & Lim on X-Men 2099? Or was I the only one who loved that run?

    I suspect my definition of 'classic' is a bit too A) recent, or B) obscure.

    X-Men Forever was sort of the start of a "classics" line, since it was followed by the editors inviting Louise Simonson to do an X-Factor mini and Michelinie/Layton to do some Iron Man.

    If they try it again (and that might not be what McGregor was talking about) the most important thing in my opinion is that it should be some kind of "Untold Tale" that can fit the continuity of a particular era, at least broadly. X-Men Forever had many issues but the biggest one was that it never felt like it could have been an actual in-continuity X-Men comic of any era.

    Give me Simonson or bust. I don't care which Simonson, but give me a Simonson.

    Busiek is already doing 80th anniversary stuff, if you're wondering if they're bringing back any old heads at all.

    Yes but I never stoped reading him so I don’t consider him a classic writer just a great writer in general. I believe his best work is from the last couple of years on Astro City.
