I do! I read anything by Dan Slott, he writes good, deep entertaining comics! His She-Hulk series rock big time!\n\nI am wishing Marvel would let him handle a Spider-Man, X-Men or Avengers book. He writes great comics!

i'm not a comic fan...but the art is pretty good i must say, it kept me flipping a few pages...what stopped me was the website, its not very good.\nvertical space on a website is a premium, and the giant kohad at the top does nothing and uses too much, its size forces users to scroll the page and probably can't see the whole picture at one time on their monitor...yes this depends on the monitor and its settings..but based on a standard, you know....

There is a number of reasons why the 90's have such a bad rap.\n\nThen came a certain artist named Rob Liefeld. He was barely out of high school, no art training, (barely any skill) and there he was, drawing the New Mutants. He drew huge superhero guys with enormous muscles, "hot sexy babes," barely any background, "dynamic poses," lots of action, splash pages and giganormous guns. His stuff was just very different from the traditional Jack Kirbiest style. For some reason that still eludes me, it stuck a cord with the fans and his stuff became inmensely popular. Then along came other "sensational" artist stars, such as Jim Lee, Mark Silvestri, Erik Larsen, Jim Valentino and Todd McFarlane. All distinguished by sexy babes, bulky guys, dynamic poses, splash pages... but their stuff was very unpolished and amateurish, lots of anatomy errors and weird composition. The fans loved the art so much, the house became more and more focused on the art, and the story (which had been declining in quality for some time as it was) got shunt to the background. People wanted shock and action, and storytelling was almost forgotten. \n\nSoon Marvel gave much more importance to its superstar artists, they started to give them plotting and writting priviledges as well. This was clearly a mistake, because these were mostly young people with no storytelling experience... or skill! This was the time were X-Force and the new X-Men series were launched, selling literally millions of copies. \n\nAlso, in the late 80's the first inter-house cross-overs were created. Crisis on Infinite Earths (DC) and Secret Wars (Marvel) were a huge success. So both companies started doing cross-overs like crazy. Again, it was all about the hype and sales, the stories themselves were usually jumbled and pointless, just an excuse to have a bunch of characters jumping around. Lots of people who just didn't have enough skill got involved in the creation of comics.\n\nAdditionally, 1991-1995 was witness to the boom and decline of comics. Around that time, the distributors made it quite easy for someone to open a comic shop. Also, collectors were starting to realize how old key comics from the 30's-60's were quite hard to find in good condition, and the prices of these comics went up to thousands of dollars. So people discovered: comics can be worth money. People would buy new comics 10 and 50 copies at the time. Shops would order hundreds of comics. A new company, founded by the Marvel superstar artists, called Image was founded, as well as Valiant and other independent publisher. Everyone thought all the new comics coming out would be gold. But soon people realized that their "investments" were printed in the hundreds of thousands, and they were so common, they couldn't even sell them for half cover price! Suddenly shops were stuck with tons of unsold copies, and most went  quickly out of business.\n\nComics just went through a rough time. Marvel made a lot of bad moves, but they drove the market at the time and whatever they did, DC copied. Marvel went throught a lot of ownership changes, each trying to make a quick buck and not worry about the product itself. Thus came hologram, foil, glow in the dark, bagged, fancy covers, because fans dug them and bought the comic... but the inside was never something to write home about. Lots of crappy new series were started to have volume and increase sales... bunch of them aren't worth the paper they are printed in today.\n\nAnother terrible decision by Marvel was to do its own distribution. Comics are usually distributed by a third party distributor. Marvel decided to conduct its own distribution duties, and it was disastrous. First of all, they couldn't handled it and comics started to arrive late. Then, the other distributors were so affected (they had just lost the business of distributing half of their product, which was Marvel), they folded one by one, unt

Yeah, of course!!! I like them a lot. They were drawn by the Belgian artist Herge who died in 1983 I suppose. Well, earlier stories didn't have good drawings but the latter one's have very good drawigns and the details that he put to a drawing is interesting. And one of the best things is that his pictures are clear not congested with lot of lines and strokes which is ideal for Tintin-like comics. But of course there are other type of stories which require lot of other lines (to give it a 3 D effect). I suppose Tintin can edge out Asterix drawings. By the way I am an artists too but not professionally.

Good literature can teach you about yourself or other people. It can also help you to see things in a different way.

Comics used that a lot in the 60's , I think Milton Berle or someone in his genre and time used it. In your case you would have been the first country she heard from and then came the sister, country number two. It used to be quite funny but our humor changes with time.

Wow. The answer to your question is TOTALLY subjective, but you know this, yah? So anyway, I'm going to weigh in with Marvel, but only by an inch. Story-wise, most comics are relatively crappy, so you really have to judge on concept. For example, Spider-Man: cool powers, neat costume, good villains, annoying alter-ego sub-plots (nosy aunt, over-exposed film, guilt over dead uncle, etc). Overall, though, a winner. Now, do this with all the characters from both companies, and my opinion is that, conceptually, the Marvel characters tend to: a. Have more diverse and original powers and origins and b. Marvel characters tend to LOOK cooler (the "Batman" characters and Hawkman being the notable DC exceptions). So I'm going with Marvel.\nAs far as stories go, I think DC has focused more (at least in the last 10 years) on telling marginally readable stories than has Marvel. The X-Men may LOOK really cool, but have you tried READING an issue? For the most part, REALLY bad. At lest the DC books have SOME kind of coherency going for them. But nowdays, the companys are pretty evenly matched, so its now just a matter of what your tastes are. Me, I prefer the "Ultimates" (Marvel) over DC's lame "Infinite Crisis," for example, but again, thats just my opinion. \nOn a side note, without a doubt Marvel has better villains than DC, by a MILE, which I think also helps contribute to Marvel's stories and concepts being more easy to relate to.
