Someone pitted the Dread Dormammu against Mysterio! Yes, DD won, but it was so ridiculous I threw the comic away. It was hastily drawn imitation of Jim Lee, with so many random ideas crammed into it that it meant nothing. Honestly, I couldn't tell you what the title was!Boston Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-59037960995682171952012-03-14T19:35:18.291+00:002012-03-14T19:35:18.291+00:00Seeing as it's a good twenty years since I las...Seeing as it's a good twenty years since I last dipped my toes, I do feel the urge to buy some new comics, to see the current state of play, but what I've seen of DC and Marvel's recent output leaves me cold.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-84080926427451666172012-03-14T14:36:03.839+00:002012-03-14T14:36:03.839+00:00I fell off the comics wagon sometime around 1981, ...I fell off the comics wagon sometime around 1981, coinciding with my starting seventh grade. Both increasing price and declining quality were factors. <br /><br />It was Spider-Man that drew me back in 1988, thanks to some fairly decent stories in <i>Web</i> and <i>Spectacular</i>, and a quirky new artist (Todd McFarlane) working on <i>Amazing</i>. I stuck with the Spidey titles up until about McFarlane's departure in '91. <br /><br />Overall, I felt nearly everything at marvel had become X-themed by the late '80s / early '90s. I can only stand so much X-Men, frankly.R. W.
