Guy Goodbody posted:Yeah, I was reading a bunch of old Ka-Zar and Black Panther comics, and I just jumped ahead to "Heroic Age" superhero comics, and jesus christ. You used to get your goddamn money's worth for 75 cents. Back then a comic book told a complete story, even if it was part of a larger story too. I can't imagine how pissed I'd be if I paid four dollars for Avengers #7 and got a chapter of some super long story that doesn't even bother to explain what's going on. That was one of Shooter's rules, wasn't it? "Every comic should be capable of being someone's first." I recall one X-men Masterworks or omnibus introduction where either Louise Simonson or Ann Nocenti remarked that most of the issues Claremont wrote at the time had its own conflict which was introduced and resolved within that issue whether or not it was part of a larger arc and how that was one of his underappreciated talents as a writer.

notthegoatseguy posted:RE Lee/Ditko Spider-Man: Yeah a lot of classics appeared. But more than a few forgetful ones also. Who else remembers The Circus of Crime? They were originally Hulk (!) villains but later on sort of became one of the bad guy teams everybody fought at least once.

My absolute least favourite Marvel d-list (which admittedly might be being a trifle over-generous) villains are Salem's Seven. I don't know, there's just nothing about them I like.

Edge & Christian posted:Sincere question as I only know them from OHOTMUDE and the Vision and Scarlet Witch mini-series but have they actually appeared in a meaningful way in the past thirty years? I agree they're turds but it's a deep cut to hate on. They showed up in that Kurt Busiek Avengers annual that re-introduced Patsy Walker as Hellcat. One on hand, Len Wein was one of very few guys who seemed to be creating all these new characters at Marvel in the 70s before Shooter introduced a royalty system, but they're definitely not inspired work, and I think Pérez must have been having an off-day when he designed them. I don't know, I just really dislike them. As far as FF bad guys go, even the likes of Janus the Nega-Man (probably my second least favourite Lee/Kirby FF villain after Prester John), Overmind, Devos the Devastator, Paibok the Power-Skrull and Occulus (POWER INCARNATE!) are better than Salem's Seven.

If you are familiar with the website Discogs, which is a combined database/marketplace for music recording (primarily vinyl) it looks as though it has a new sister site called Comicogs which will try to do the same thing for comics.
