I should say, though, I'm not sure how easy it would be jumping right into Simonson's run on New Mutants without reading at least some of Claremont's stint (the first 54 issues). I'm pretty sure she'd been editing the comic before she took over the writing, so she really picks up where Claremont leaves off (and in the middle of a crossover) rather than making a clean break.

Has Ghost Rider ever tried to penance stare Daredevil or any other blind person?

Then couldn't a sighted person just close their eyes? Was there ever a Ghost Rider like that one Green Lantern who's based in sound, that could do a Penance Howl or something like that. Hire me, Marvel, Im not doing anything right now.

Anyone have any recommendations for long term storage of comics? I have 12 or so long boxes that i haven't looked through in years and the one box i did look through had become home to some spiders. I figure there have to be some better storage options out there that are a bit more air tight.

If you're not going to touch it any time soon seal off every seam with heavy duty packing/shipping tape.

Here's a question about the forum itself: the thread about bad comic runs permanently closed? I wanted to bring up Mark Millar's Fantastic Four run, but I can't post in it.

Start a new thread. Shame to hear Millar's FF run wasn't good. His run on Ultimate FF was decent if you could get past the Greg Land art (admittedly a pretty big "if").

Millar's run on Fantastic Four was fine. And is one of the very few Millar written books I actually liked. I normally can't stand his stuff.

I'd certainly laud Millar's run for not dipping into the usual issue of being a greatest hits remix like most runs of FF, but at the same time everything else about it was really bad.

Death of the Invisible Woman and Masters of Doom were pretty good arcs. Nu Earth, and Valeria having Reed levels of intelligence were both ideas that carried on into Hickman's run. Hitch was on point with his art, and the scripts were fairly entertaining, so I don't see what the problem is besides it being a Mark Millar Fantastic Four book.

It's the Masters of Doom arc; it reads like exceptionally bad fanfiction. Yes, one can argue that a lot of things of various degrees of popularity, especially comics, but Masters of Doom, to me, read more like bad fanfiction than a lot of things, to a greater degree.

I can see that. It probably helped that I was also reading 1985, so the titular Masters of Doom weren't coming out of nowhere. Poor 1985, always the forgotten book because it doesn't star any major characters or have gratuitous violence. The Millar/Hitch FF also had some nice covers. It was a nice attempt at trying to remind people why Fantastic Four was once called "The Worlds Greatest Comic Magazine!".

Yes, but he believed Guardians of the Galaxy when they said that no one is 100% a dick.

I got shorted Avengers World 16 and on the off chance the comic shop doesn't have any next time I'm there where's a good place to check for it? I tried midtowncomics and they're sold out. Amazon has some but 3.99 shipping is ridiculous.

I started cataloging my books this weekend with the distant hope that SOME of them might be worth more than shipping. Sadly I'm 1000+ in to my mostly 90s collection and it's as i expected mostly worthless. But I'm confident when i get to my Image and Valiant boxes I'll have millions of dollars worth
