Speaking about crappy 90's movies, any other guilty pleasures for folks here from stuff from the 90's? I am still partial to Spawn myself.

The Subspecies movies.

But to be fair to Gold Key, the Original Series was terrible.

John Byrne is a creepy pedophile who got lucky with a pretty good Superman run and inventing corrupt CEO Lex.

I've heard that this was actually Marv Wolfman's idea from when he was a kid.

He's a pretty good artist but nearly everything written by him is so bad. I actually had high hopes for his Fantastic Four run and was really disappointed.

I'm dead keen on his Fantastic Four stuff myself, but I reckon I'm predisposed to like the FF in general. I even enjoy Tom DeFalco's run when Sue was in the swimsuit with the 4-shaped boob window and Reed wore a safari jacket over his costume.

Oh, not at all. I don't really think about politics very much. It's gone quite far down my list of hobbies since I was in school.

I followed politics avidly when I was in school, but I think I've been burned out in the intervening six years or so by a combination of having irritatingly right-wing family and always ending up with equally obnoxious left-wing classmates in university. Soured me on the whole thing.

It's more complicated than that, of course, but talking about it upsets me.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Marvel did mini-crossovers in their annuals. The most famous ones are Atlantis Attacks and the Evolutionary War (which were also the biggest) but there were others like Return of the Defenders, which I've just read (involving the Hulk, Namor, Dr Strange and Silver Surfer annuals), the Korvac Quest (the GOTG, Silver Surfer, FF and Thor annuals), Subterranean Wars (Avengers, West Coast Avengers, Namor, Iron Man, Hulk) and others.

For the most part, they were a bit of a drag, but I'm curious to know - were any of them especially good?
