Make a 90s thread!


Speaking of 90s, Todd McFarland has announced THREE new monthly Spawn comics because absolutely no one was clamoring for more Spawn.

I remember there being at least 3 if not 4 ongoing Spawn comics in the 90's. What is old is new again.

Oh for sure.

Spawn the Undead
Curse of the Spawn
Hellspawn

And a couple dozen minis and one shots.

Speaking of Elseworlds.

@AdamLanceGarcia I pitched a follow-up with Bruce Wayne being abducted and taken to Krypton where he became Superman...but DC passed. https://twitter.com/JMDeMatteis/status/1366092151667458048?s=20

There's a very similar story where human Clark Kent is raised on Krypton, gets a GL ring and when he returns to earth he discovers the harsh kryptonian environment has made him super human compared to am earth man.

Last Son of Earth, probably my favorite Elseworlds ever.

There was also the Legends of the Dead Earth year of annuals which were just Elseworlds set in the future.

JLA the Nail is good. I also really enjoyed Superboys Legion. Anything Alan Davis drew really.

They're the same company and DCBS is dying for warehouse workers. I wouldn't expect anything better when they pay less than local gas stations.

Source: they moved the dcbs side back to my town and advertise heavily that they are hiring.

I hate to be too enthusiastic about an upcoming superhero movie, but the new Suicide Squad trailer showed Arms Fall Off Boy and now I am there.

Suicide Squad is going to give me some manner of sexual awakening I am fairly certain.

I feel like people just leaving the rental scooters everywhere is just as much a danger for people tripping over them.

That's my problem with them. Idiots just ditch them wherever they want.

This might be a dumb question but is Peanuts worth reading? Like I know it's very popular or was, but would it be rewarding to read the entire run of it? Newspaper strips I find tricky because of the format--like if you judged Calvin and Hobbes on a dozen mediocre weekly strips instead of as an entire body of work, you'd walk away with an entirely different perception of it. But I don't have the ambition to read every published Garfield strip because I don't think that'd be rewarding.

I know Peanuts was long running, but how full of mediocre weekly strips was it? Is there a good place to start if not at the beginning?

No. It's long past the time it should have been shot in the head and buried outside of town.

I really loved what he did on Superman Beyond 3D, but the way it was integrated into Final Crisis was just awful.

It was originally fully part of FC. FC was set to be a 12 issue series like the original but Didio thinks 7 is the magic number so the series got cut up and shortened.
