The hair and the clothes and the extremeness of the it, even if it was tame by the standards we tend to think of when we think of Marvel in the 90's. Even Bagley, whose art I really like on USM and the current Life Story, turned out not great stuff.
But CC? That was what I wanted out of the clone saga. The art was uniformly great. I liked the inclusion of Ben Reilly, I liked fat Doc Ock coming back, albeit briefly. I like that Ben was driven insane by being brought back and killed so many times but yet his plan still held some validity and you could understand it. It just grew out of his control.
I don't need much from comics. Not everything has to change the world. Hell, I love Jeph Loeb's Hulk. Sometimes, I just want to punch the air, you know? I don't need every book to be as good as Miracleman. I just wanna have fun.
Does that help?
