Siver Sable's ongoing title from the 90s?

I had the first issue as a kid, and read a few other issues here or there, and yeah -- it wasn't super compelling. I loved the inclusion of Sandman, and his portrayal as a man trying to atone for his past sins and become a better man was the highlight of the series for me.

I think the series would have been better off with a Wild Pack that consisted of more characters like Sandman -- people with powers or advanced tech -- rather than faceless goons who the audience won't remember except for maybe the one guy who flirts too much with Sable.

If Marvel asked me to pitch a "traditional" Silver Sable series, I'd definitely make sure to include characters on her team that I think might pull in a few extra fans, especially Spidey fans: Prowler, Rocket Racer, Annex, etc.

That all being said, I too would likely snatch up an omnibus of the Silver Sable series.

-Pav, who needs to get back to reading his Morbius omnibus...

Agreed. They had the Wild Pack which was super powered people. Sandman, Puma I think, Paladin, a few others. The series was promised it would be about them, and then we got thug1 and thug 2. Who they tried to make compelling, but they were red shirts, so that Silver couldn't die.

Silver Sable needs to have her own ongoing series...

On the topic of Liefeld his early work looks so much like Todd McFarlane (wiith a mix of Art Adams) that I would not know if thats was even Liefeld because as we lnow SS is usually a Spidey character and Todd was one of the big Spidey artists.

Anyway back to the 90s series. I thought it wasn't bad, but I only had a few issues.

Imagine if the Spider-Office had let McFarlane do a Silver Sable solo series instead of Spider-Man back in 1990? That would have put Sable on the map...

Most likely! Not that the art in the original ongoing was bad but Todd McFarlane sold books and of course he's simply a great artist.

Prior to this topic, I don't think I've ever seen a discussion of the Silver Sable comic.


Even when it was coming out, I didn't know anyone that actually read it unless it happened to have a memorable guest star that month. It was just one of those series that was just there.

That sums up my feelings for that series.
