Best Comic Book run?

very underated runs in Marvel-Two-In-One, wish Marvel would collect them.

the Grand Guignol from Starman is fantastic. Robinson at his best.

Fist: I liked the new Squadron series, but it is a bit slow moving for a monthly. check the tpb of the 90's series. great stuff.

and Ditko is great. check his Dr. Strange. and his Shade was outstanding. I love his work.

Has anyone read Infinite Crisis? Is it worth a look? What about all of the lead in series?

I'm completely lost with Infinite Crisis!

I had the owner of the store try to explain it to me last week. I think it is going to be as important, for the same reasons, as the original Crisis, but I don't like it too much. (I never thought Crisis was at all necessary. "What??? Two Supermen??? Help, I'm so confused!!!" But I liked that story better.)

OMAC had some good stuff going on, and it's tied into IC. It all came about because of the magical lobotomy Zatanna gave Dr. Light, and some others, after he raped Elongated Man's wife many years ago.

And Starfire in that teeny bikini when she was posing for some picture years ago!! And Wasp, Ms. Marvel, and Scarlet Witch during his run on Avengers!

I own all the issues, but they're still at my children's/ex-wife's house. No room where I am now.

I, uh, ...

never read Starman. I know is was great, but I just never got to it.

the new Crisis doesn't seem to be doing much, except slaughtering the Freedom Fighters to no purpose. Identity Crisis is what started me to drop comics almost all together. the rape and murder of Sue Dibny was the most misogynistic thing i have ever read in comics. and to have

Spoiler

Jean Loring the murderer because she wanted her exhusband back

? what is this, Knot's Landing? so I am unloading most of my collection (over half) and just keeping stuff i can still enjoy (Starman, Suicide Squad, Automatic Kafka, etc) still haven't figured what to do with them.

Don't worry, LM; Senators Kerry & Kennedy are in the senate right now proposing legislation that will effectively remove all numbers above 1 million; they're trying to get Bill Gates' money, but it'll also have positive effects for us if they succeed.

While that may be true on planet earth, on planet revan you are his protege, two sides of the same coin, the yin to his yang, Donny to his Marie, the dysfunctional duo, et al.

if you want an underated mini-series try Mr.E. it was an offshoot of the first Books of Magic. with fantastic art by my favorite John K Snyder.

I finally got my comics out of storage tonight. What treasures! I'd forgotten about so much of that old stuff. Who remembers Rom: Spaceknight? Batman and the Outsiders? Man, that was good stuff!

Post by **Bhakti** » Sun Apr 23, 2006 3:14 am

At least Rom had Power man & Iron Fist show up. Can't go wrong there!

BatO was very cool. Katana had a few great moments. I'm a sucker for martial artists.
