    Default 90s Marvel

    I know Marvel was in dire straits back then and almost declared bankruptcy, but what were some good titles/stories being published then?

    They were in dire straits towards the end of the 90's. In te beginning, they were publishing anything. I loved the Avengers with Crystal, the Mutant X universe, and Earth X.

    All the X-Titles, New Warriors, Guardians of the Galaxy, Larsen's Spidey. I don't think I've ever seen any love for Wonder Man's series but I loved it.

    His help helped make the Hulk from one of the least interesting Marvel comics in the 1960s to one of the most interesting in the 1990s. lol

    Yeah, the real '90's comics sucked...' didn't happen till the end. 90's Marvel was a glorious time for creativity. Lots of brand new characters getting solo books right out the gate. Darkhawk, Sleepwalker, Ghost Rider, Deathlock, New Warriors.... Things like that just don't happen anymore. When was the last time we saw a completely original character starring in his own book without piggybacking in on someone elses? Runaways maybe??
