Obviously the big thing - really overwhelmingly huge - when I was in school was Pokémon. It's wild to think of how big that was for a couple of years (I think between 1997 and 1999). But it was the trading card game that was the biggest thing about it; sure, people watched the cartoon and played the games but the cards were the big draw. Nobody I knew could actually play the game, of course; trading them was the main appeal.

Before that, it was yo-yos. I remember yo-yos being a super popular fad for a while when the Pro-Yo II came out.

Lol are you me? This is my young life.

Pokémon ended up being banned from the Christian school I attended because it was a sinner's devol game that distracted from the glory of worshipping god.

I haven't the faintest clue what the big crazes are with kids nowadays. What is the big thing, anyway?

You can get all of Punisher MAX (Ennis and Aaron) for ~$20. This is the best loving deal ever. Most of the other stuff I've found I haven't been super interested in because I have Marvel Unlimited but since they don't do MAX, this is beyond awesome.

Punisher Max and Alias are the two buys for those who get MU.

Yeah, something more along the lines of Indiana Jones or the Brendan Fraser Mummy movies would be fun, or the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movies.

(Guy Ritchie should remake The Assassination Bureau though I'm not sure who the 2017 version of Oliver Reed would be - would no doubt end u with, say, Tom Hiddleston as Dragomiloff, which might be quite good.)

I would have loved a late 90s/early 00's Brenden Fraiser led franchise of him fighting each Universal Monster after The first Mummy.

I just realised that it's literally a fortnight until the twenty-year anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone coming out.

I did not read Harry Potter until I was over 18 and moved into my own place. Reason: Magic is the satanic and those books would have me performing rituals because it was full of secret anti Christian codes.

I'm trying to imagine Rob Liefeld actively wanting to separate his New Mutants and X-Force from what I expect to be a very popular Cable and Deadpool movie in the next few years.

I collect statues and stuff of a few specific characters. I had the idea of getting the first appearance issue for each of them to hang on the wall (since the wall space behind the shelves is just being wasted) but 2 of them are Cyclops and Green Arrow, so that's just not happening.

Anyone recommend good issues to represent those two? And not you know, several thousand dollars. They don't actually have to be good comics.

Cyclops:


Green Arrow:


Just print them off and get them signed. Better than comic covers!

A joke since afterlife with Archie was supposed to kill Betty during the arc it stopped being put out.

I know (hope?) you're kidding, but Peter David once made a convincing argument for Don Quixote.

Last I checked superhuman strength is a superpower.
