He, at the least, was into Jesus. In fact, I'm fairly sure they mentioned that as a contrast between him and Logan.

Given his love of Japanese culture, maybe he's into Shintoism?

Wasn't Clone Saga extended at the request of their finance and marketing departments because Marvel was bleeding money and they noticed it was one of the few titles doing well consistently?

I can't comment on all of Byrne and Mackie's Spidey relaunch, but I just read a two parter where all of the supporting cast is kidnapped by Mysterio and put in a virtual reality construct with the apparent attempt being to deduce who's really Spider-Man because... Mysterio wants to know, I guess? It really hits all the "John Byrne" notes in that a villain has a scheme that makes no sense at all (Flash Thompson somehow imagines himself as a super hero engaged to Mary Jane inside the VR, defeating the purpose immediately), is completely an excuse to bring a bunch of Spidey supporting characters into a room together, is based on a Silver-Age-y gimmick that Byrne already famously did (Puppet Master and his "tiny town"), and finally, Flash Thompson says he doesn't need anybody and calls Peter a nerd, ignoring about 300-some odd issues of Amazing Spider-Man, where Flash has been Pete's good friend for years and was the best man at his wedding. But no, Flash was always a bully jerk because a sweaty Canadian pre-teen read him that way in 1963.

I feel like this should be posted on Byrne's sad little board, just to see him lose his poo poo.

Here's some really early Mark Millar for you:



(Had the picture because I wanted to make this post about STC in the underrated runs thread, but I've already posted in it and don't want to double-post)

It's almost hard to believe it's Millar, nobody's getting raped, acting like a misogynist or sexist or racist or anything.


Are we sure Grant Morrison didn't write it?

I kinda liked the first half of those panels, until the teenage girl came along.

I had no idea Dave Goyer was a conservative.
