What the hell has Tim Sale been up to for the last few years? He's basically disappeared--his comicbookdb entry shows nothing but reprints & collections since like 2009.

Lurdiak posted:Yeah, those interpretations of KnightsQuest and Death and Return always seemed like DC fans trying to rewrite history to make it seem like DC's bad 90s stuff was somehow clever satire.

Lurdiak posted:Well yeah, obviously, but that doesn't mean they didn't intend for this to catch on as a viable Batman book for the time it lasted. Superior Spider-man was never going to be permanent either but it also wasn't some kind of meta-commentary on the industry designed to teach readers a lesson. Also, I am still amazed that his eponymous series lasted as goddman long as it did, even though Denny O'Neil was probably the only one reading it.

I thought that Spidey Super Stories #39 would fit what you're looking for, but I forgot that it's the Cosmic Cube Thanos is trying to pilfer, not anything Gauntlet-related.

Madkal posted:My co-worker has expressed an interest in X-Men lately after binging through all the movies. She really liked Beasts character in the more recent movies and asked if I could recommend some stories featuring Beast in a prominent role and outside of New X-Men I really couldn't think of any. So are there any really good Beast centered stories out there? (which follows Whedon's Astonishing run, which is also a good go-to) There's a great Wolverine and the X-Men issue where Beast and Sabertooth duke it out IN SPAAACE (#8). A+X #4 has a super fun Beast/Spidey team-up. Beast really doesn't get to take the lead too often :/ redbackground fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Feb 27, 2015 |

Unbelievably Fat Man posted:Technically it was Jim Shooter, who was editor in chief at the time, so he approved it himself and could threaten the livelihood of anyone who didn't want to work on it. Speaking of, what was the letter column like a few issues down the road? Was there an overly positive/negative response from readers right at the time? Here's Jim Shooter's take on it, but of course, mounds of salt.

Edge & Christian posted:Avengers 200 is from 1980, and at that point I don't think most of the names being thrown around were writing any comics. Louise Jones/Simonson and Jo Duffy were both hired on as editors in 1980, and started getting writing jobs (Simonson more than Duffy) a few years later.
