FFT posted:It is absolutely ridiculous how many comic runs there are that are only distinguishable by the year they started. That's because they figured out that sales went up when they restart a series with "Issue #1" So they periodically reset the numbering on series. But sometimes they also revert back to the old numbering system to celebrate milestones and such, cuz that also causes upticks in sales. And sometimes they just arbitrarily renumber stuff for reasons. Comic are weird, and so is the comics business.

site posted:i think you posted a thumbnail Doh! That's what I get for phone posting. I'll have to dig it up when I'm on my pc. It's the page of Taskmaster talking to the gangster who hired him to play golf. It's also the series where Nick Fury calls Taskmaster "Sleep Apnia Skeletor".

As i remember one of the other big problems with the New Universe was this fear from existing fans that this line was going to replace the main Marvell timeliness. Fans refused to read the NU books because they didn't want to replace Spiderman.

Splint Chesthair posted:Shooter was allegedly very keen on replacing the existing Marvel heroes with new versions, so it wasn’t entirely unfounded. I want to say Spider-Man’s black costume was commissioned by Shooter to be a design for an all-new Spidey and there were plans for a Native American Captain America but I’m probably mixing up the details. NA Cap sounds vaguely familiar. I was in high school and really liked a couple of the NU titles, but I remember them getting poo poo on at the shops by other people who claimed they were trying to replace all the existing marvel titles. Comics fans never change.

I remember being really into DP7, Spitfire and uh... Justice?? but I went back and tried to read a few of them as an adult and they felt pretty bland. They did a lot of interesting things but they were very much mid-80's comics and were still figuring a lot of things out. I feel like NU crawled so that Ultimate Universe could run (and often stumble).

Upsidads posted:Santa clearly is mentally ill and in a costume this he's in Batmans Rogue gallery and probably already locked up in Arkham I could be mixing up different comic series, but I'm pretty sure this is a thing. I recall a comic, (Power Girl?), where a mental patient with powerful telekinetic powers who thought he was Santa escaped from an asylum and used his powers to animate a flying sleigh and reindeer.

Forum accident posted:ST:TNG was the only comic book I had a subscription to as a kid and it's bizarre, barely Star Trek at all, but the one thing I always remember about it is how they decided to give everyone an eyepatch in the mirror universe, including Geordi. Does Geordi have a patch on his visor?

"Vibe? never heard of him." Was my exact response when reading this as a kid, and I think they killed him off like a couple issues later.
