You're not a man if you don't like this style of comic. Just like you're not a man if you don't eat meat, don't like hard rock music, don't like action films ,etc etc
its soooo pathetic to have these gender based cliches
Shut up wuss
You're not a man if you don't like this style of comic. Just like you're not a man if you don't eat meat...
Comics are for boys, not men.
Your penis is thmall
Shut up faggots

Fucking Daffy Duck over here. Your mom told me it's bigger than average, and your dad said it was too big.
Fuck off, bot. Shut down, immediately.
reading X-Men post-1991
Why?
Ligma balls
Stop being a faggot.
insecure masculinity is the REAL masculinity
no.
That said, these comics are fun. Capesludge as a rule sucks fucking ass but when they try to turn it into something less SHIT, you get pseudo-comics that are almost worth reading like Stan Lee, 90s XTREEEME, and Vertigo / Moore.
what the sigma
Shut up you retard
make me tough guy
Anyone has a Cable recommended readings chart/image?
I insulted because the latter part of your post was faggy
I blame Linkara for this knee jerk "90s bad" bullshit.
90s comics were cool as fuck
He's half-right: 90's Marvel is shit, 90's DC was better.
It was a common opinion among nerds, kind of a generic way to prove your "cred". I grew up in the 90s and some of the other comic nerd friends I knew had that attitude of "90s le bad!", but they also mainly got into comics cause of their dads and wanted to emulate them and boast about their superiority for having access to their dads rooms full of 60s comics and shit
Dumbass, the 90s is bad meme started long before before Linkara.
Yeah, Linkara was a symptom not the cause. This attitude always really embarrassed me though, like its basically saying "COMICS ARE ONLY FOR US TRUE SQUARES REEEE"
Equivalent of like a Beach Boys loving dad sperging about heavy metal music or something
Why?
Because they were still doing readable, enjoyable comics that understood their job of being a combination of soap opera for boys + cape comic action, and had a generation of artists who were in tune with what 90s kids wanted to see. Dismissing books that at their absolute worst were still perfectly cromulent just because you're in a cult of personality for a comic book writer and he didn't write them, it's pretty sad, even for Anon Babble.
Still reading X-Men by the end of the 90s, or into the 2000s, that's the real "Why?". There's no good reason for anyone that's not gay to still be reading it in the 2020s.
there are three significant eras of artistic merit in 'superhero' comics which were simple re-telling's of ancient heroes (Hercules, Gilgamesh) in the modern (1940s) era and tall tales like Pecos Bill. The CCA limitations made ONLY this kind of comic publishable to the general audience after the moral panic of "The Seduction of the Innocent".
The first era you could call RESTORATION: this was Stan Lee and his collaborators actually restoring comics by re-introducing the forbidden genres to comic readers through the superhero (Spider-Man is teen romance, Hulk is war comics, Fantastic Four is Science Fiction Pulp, even Doctor Strange tried to restore horror comics). And the silver age blended this restoration to a public getting slightly bored with more psychedelic and then 'extreme' forms of social commentary or visceral and dynamic visuals. This era is EXPERIENCE which is the 90s Todd McFarlane, Jim Lee, and Rob Liefeld era where the sensation of experiencing superhero comics was the purpose of drawing and writing them. Certainly it changed the whole format, feel, and ideal of superheroes as a 'safe edgy' teen oriented punk experience with (overly criticized) shallow storytelling along with foil variants and commercial shenanigans which caused the whole independent push for Image comics and other competitors rising from the ashes.
Finally, tail end of the 90s and beyond you have British invasion DECONSTRUCTION superhero comics. But this stuff has been overly discussed and already common knowledge. Alan Moore, Frank Miller's prime, Grant Morrison, Warren Ellis, and the apparent psychotic rapist Neil Gaiman.
To a large extent a lot of it came from older nerds who started reading Marvel and DC comics in the 80s or even 70s, and probably should have just moved on to something else by the 90s when the comics were clearly being aimed at kids and teens much younger than them. Instead they stuck around and complained about how much the 90s comics sucked and were ruining everything, and when the industry crashed, more of those older guys stuck around than the kids and teens, so they got to control the narrative on what was considered good and what was popular, which resulted in a lot of revisionism to pretend none of the 90s books or characters were ever really popular or successful at all. Those guys being the ones who stuck around is how by the end of the 90s superhero comics were aimed more at adult nerds than at kids or teens, Marvel and DC abandoned what had always been their core audience until then.
I've literally never seen anyone into REAL MAN GUN COMICS who I couldn't describe with words like oaf, imbecile, lout, etc.
I've never seen anyone who said words like "oaf, imbecile, lout" etc that I couldn't describe with words like fag, sissy, nancy, etc
You like Spawn and Michael Myers I'm guessing.
it's just the nerds who do that. they also worship computer rpgs, bbs porn, and soulseek
to be fair, the 90s killed a lot of fun for readers. they turned away the normies and red blooded americans with excessive #1, poly bagged ashcan issues, collector variants, glow in the dark covers and comics that went nowhere. literally months of nothing, then return for stories going nowhere. the flash of the 90s drove comics to new highs and then sapped the money out of kids leaving them dry. only the true nerds stayed, and its why they finger wag at the 90s and treasure their wizard like fanaticism of muh vertigo or whatever they were told was adult and kewl
Cool things are cool anon
The CCA limitations made ONLY this kind of comic publishable to the general audience
Knock it off with this easily disprovable lie. The CCA made the EC-style crime and horror comics basically impossible, but nothing else was 'forbidden'. Various other genres of comics continued to thrive through the 50s and into the 60s, science fiction, monster, comedy, romance, westerns, 'funny animal' comics and more. Superhero comics were not the only comics that could be published, but DC were one of the biggest comics publishers, and a lot of their output were superhero titles, but one of the other biggest publishers of the time was Archie. The rise of Marvel in the 60s was due to their superhero books, and that led to Marvel and DC, two companies that mostly did superhero books, dominating the industry. The decline of other genres was the industry reacting to the market in the 60s, not those other genres being banned outright. Horror comics had a revival in the 70s, starting with the larger magazine format books that were outside the reach of the CCA.
The British Invasion and the deconstruction of superheroes by edgelord lunatics started in the 80s, before the rise of the Image artists, most of them just didn't really get set loose on Marvel until the late 90s and the 2000s.
Because they were still doing readable, enjoyable comics that understood their job of being a combination of soap opera for boys + cape comic action, and had a generation of artists who were in tune with what 90s kids wanted to see.
Hmmm, no. The professionals have already done the research on the matter. Either you stop at 1991 and let X-Men on a decent note, or you let them wallow in mediocrity under Jim Lee's boyfriend and editor Bob Harras.
You like black clothing, metal, and either greasy ponytails or buzzcuts.
Where are the sophisticated visual storytelling techniques and sexy women?

Why are you such a pussy?
Stop being a faggot

Finally, tail end of the 90s and beyond you have British invasion DECONSTRUCTION superhero comics.
A lot of these guys got started in the mid 80 to late 80s like Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman and some others like Jamie Delano. Warren Ellis didn't get his start in American comics until the mid-90s.
the professionals
it's actually just some turbo autist's blog
anon is such an NPC he can't even formulate his own opinions and needs someone else to tell him when to stop reading a comic.
also gay slurs against the people responsible for the last period when X-Men comics were actually for straight people, and the most fetish-free they've been after the Silver Age
The writer you're simping for would be disappointed by your bigotry, NPC Anon.
And the silver age blended this restoration to a public getting slightly bored with more psychedelic and then 'extreme' forms of social commentary or visceral and dynamic visuals. This era is EXPERIENCE which is the 90s Todd McFarlane, Jim Lee, and Rob Liefeld era
Imagine putting these fucking hacks on the same level of the 70s era
The British Invasion crowd and their legacy ruined superhero comics, they were the wrong kind of edgy. The 90s Extreme books were the right kind of edgy for cape comics.
Room temperature IQ havin' galoot
This, I don't want to read something half interesting or well put together, just gimme something stupid and halfassed, like Spawn or whatever X-Force bootleg Liefeld thought of during his lunch break.
Grow a pair
Jim Lee and his boyfriend Bob Harras deserve HIV and monkeypox considering their hand in pushing for the New-52 that ruined DC. Like I know the readers at Marvel have low standards, take you for example, pushing post-1991 X-Men, but as a DC reader I know when to call it quits.
This, I don't want to read something half interesting or well put together,
The sad thing is that you really think a bunch of perverts ruining characters meant for children IS "interesting and well put together".
Nobody tell her that perverts have been drawing these comics since day one.
Comics haven't been "for children" since like the 50s, they started being more teen oriented in the 60s, got more mature in the 70s, and by the 80s were pretty much targeting outsider teens - young adults
In the 80s you had a litany of action figures and shows based on them that really took over from comic books, as well as home console video games
I like this comic and I like to shoot guns but I'm also a vegan.
That's because only vegans like this shit.
