There's multiple Raptors out there and having a new guy with the name lets people start from a fresh perspective because it's not like anyone but me and like five other people care about Darkhawk continuity. My brother is always complaining about how weird and complicated they made Darkhawk, so yeah a fresh start is probably a good call, but it did catch me by surprise to see them go with a new character.

Defenders is Al Ewing and Javier Rodriguez, so I'm hype as hell for that book. Who's on Darkhawk?

Before that he apparently completely revitalized the entire Power Rangers canon through the comics. So it seems like people with magical suits of space armor is kind of in his bag.

Licensed comics rarely are good anyway. When I'd seen he'd done a highly regarded reboot of the Power Rangers I was surprised as I don't normally associate Power Rangers as something that could even really be highly regarded. It always just seemed kind of like lazy cheap kids after school stuff.

Higgins has like a perfect 50-50 record. His books tend to either be really good (Power Rangers apparently, COWL) or utter trash (Ultraman, Nightwing). He can deliver some great stuff, but at the same time not many people care enough about him to bother. I mean, he is still just doing Power Rangers poo poo over and over. Why should I bother with his Darkhawk if I am not reading Radiant Black? Or alternatively why should I read his Darkhawk I am already reading his Radiant Black?

That Power Rangers book was pretty hot for a while there. Having the main villain be an evil future Green/White Ranger was the perfect choice, and later including some of the other Ranger teams besides just the originals, helped bring in even more people beyond the nostalgia crowd. It was fun, but nothing spectacular if you were never into Power Rangers.

Maybe we'll get a Darkhawk omnibus that stops at #25, also known as the point where the original series turns to 100% horseshit.

Higgins' Power Rangers books were definitely great -- a good blend of the edgier, more realistics stakes of modern comics with the old cartoonish earnestness -- but I have to give major props to the current PR series writer Ryan Parrott for...uh...also doing that, I guess? Seriously though, the current Power Ranger books are great too and it's actually kind of astounding that at this point we've had years and years of this franchise just being consistently enjoyable...in comic book form, of all things.

I am in way too deep on Power Rangers/Super Sentai to have anything resembling an objective point to make about Higgins books, so I'll just point out he was able to make me sick of the Green Ranger which is something Marvel has not managed to do with Wolverine or Venom or Deadpool despite those characters having been around for anywhere between 10-30 years longer. He did what Donny Cates and Daniel Way failed to do. The first issue of Mark Russell's F4 Life Story is out this week and while I thought it was generally good, I can't help but feel it could've done with a lot less JFK and a lot more Galactus. But that's probably me expecting it to follow the "HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS DECADE" format of Zdarsky's Spidey book too closely.

I enjoyed F4 Life Story and was impressed to learn that Mark Russell can write comics that don't beat you over the head with satire.

I grew up as an avid reader of Marvel Age - to the point where I had a subscription for 5 years and actively sought out back issues at shops and shows. One of my favorite parts every month was Fred Hembeck’s 2 page cartoons, which I thought were always hilarious. I also learned about cool new projects Marvel was doing, like the slick looking Marvel Masterworks reprint collections of classic stories, unedited and in chronological order. If you would have bet me that almost 35 years later, in May of 2021, a Brother Voodoo Marvel Masterworks collection was going to be released, I would have lost every dollar I ever had or ever would earn. Somewhere, Fred Hembeck is smiling. His long con has finally paid off.

Yeah Marvel Age was great. I read a bunch of back issues several years back and always wanted to go back and read them all. Some of the interviews were really good.

I was really into Darkhawk as a kid without ever reading the comics if that makes sense. I just though the character concept was really cool but all my money was tied up in the X-verse.

X-O posted:Yeah Marvel Age was great. I read a bunch of back issues several years back and always wanted to go back and read them all. Some of the interviews were really good. One of the earlier issues they did was when Sol Brodsky passed away. Sol was a production manager at Marvel in the 60s and helped keep the wheels turning while Stan did all the up front stuff and wrote dialogue. He never pencilled or wrote or inked a book, he wasn’t the face of the company, and he was only known to real insiders. Yet that issue of Marvel Age devoted over half of its pages to the life and times of Sol Brodsky as told by people who worked with and for him. For me it was my first real exposure to that 60s “bullpen” feel that they always talked about, and it was amazing. Great oral history stuff, great interviews, and a lot of classic artwork. It was truly touching to see how they reacted to his death. It’s a shame that when Kirby passed away in 1994 they barely devoted 2 pages to him. Marvel Age, until about 1992, was the gateway to EVERYTHING in the marvel universe. Every single book coming out in a given month was listed, along with a plot description and creative team. Every new project and upcoming series, no matter how huge or obscure, was given some hype. They had great interviews and unused artwork and features on books from the past and an ongoing history of the Marvel Universe feature and letters to books that didn’t have letters pages and everything. They had Fred Hembeck cartoons and a calendar of staff members birthdays and 5 page previews of upcoming books and even brought back Forbush Man as an unofficial mascot. If you really want a good slice of Marvel history, go seek them out. It’s well worth your time.
