I like The Hulk, silver surfer and x-men (when its not a soap opera)

last one i had was Doom:2099

any ret-cons i should know about before signing up for a couple again?

p.s has The Molecule Man made any appearances lately

It's my understanding that the molecule man was recently punked by Sentry.

Reading comics growing up was fun

then they got weird as shit

so I stopped

i think the #1 mistake comic writers made is the multiverse idea, its when i stopped (age of apocalypse-ish)

they should age, they should die, they should pass on their abilities and costumes to children/apprentices

but they should not keep rebooting storylines and whatnot everytime it doesnt fit into the continuum so they just say "oh this happens in a different universe" or "this guy went back in time and changed everything"

if you want to keep rehashing characters then have a "classic" series that goes back to characters from the past and digs up new tales about past events but to have the same characters from the 50s and have them be the same age as 50 years ago makes no sense

I disagree^

There's nothing worse than buying some comic somewhere and seeing new characters assuming the mantle of an established hero.

It's the writer's fault if they can't come up with fresh storylines for established characters, or bring in new characters that are intriguing enough to capture the audience with their own personality.


I agree that the whole continuum stuff is bullshit, and all of the alternate realities get tiresome though.

I just stopped reading because it became more of a labor than a love.

Actually, I think what made the AoA so good is that it had a clearly defined beginning and (fairly tragic) end. I stopped reading X-books after the Onlaught business, which is when I think the Ultimate series started. Since that time, I've stuck to reading only Cable and Deadpool (can you say ridiculously overexposed?) books.

Ultimate marvel started well after the Onslaught thing.

I actually enjoyed Ultimate marvel, it was nice to actually not have to worry about all the retconning bullshit and all that references to crap I haven't even heard about.
