It is still exists because it sells comics. However, it doesn't seem all that different than what's on TV to me.

Comics still struggle with that to this day, and I'm not sure why. <br /><br /><br />Silverlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583360477162019419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248254789731612355.post-57158296990138504282013-03-21T11:21:11.920-07:002013-03-21T11:21:11.920-07:00@needles, I like Dread Star, but I like the early ...@needles, I like Dread Star, but I like the early marvel stuff more, I think. <br />@silverlion, I have no problem with religious folks (including atheists), however, I have about the same level of interest in a particular person's relgious beliefs as I do in their flossing habits, which is to say, none at all. Now, some might say that for manyfictional characters relgion is a defining attribute. However, as with characters based around sexuality or politcs, I find that compelling fiction is rarely constructed around such characters. At best, you can get some melodramatic villians or author insert mary-sues from such stock. Clint Barton being in my opinion a perfect example of the latter. Further, accusing a woman of thinking with her "hair do" was painfully behind the times even in 1972, and combined with the god bothering, makes Roy look like a bitter confused old man protesting the erosion of his prvilidge,andcertainly no one with whom I would self-identify.

That's against Jesus, and while we're at it, so is Thor."Aoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145284080419502886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248254789731612355.post-18639773277467688552013-03-16T08:40:22.463-07:002013-03-16T08:40:22.463-07:00Two words for you - Dread Star.

However, that woild have been because I was 6 not because it was 1971. "The Honeymooner's Effect" as we call it around here is only a valid argument if the media in question brings something new to the table, which is then copied over and over again until it becomes cliche. The Kree-skrull war does not do this, imo. Aside from that its chief crime has nothing to do with the freshness of the material; I read stale ass comics all the time that I still somehow enjoy. Leaving aside Clint Barton, the chief crime of the Kree-skrull war is that it is boring. Really, really boring. <br />Aoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145284080419502886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248254789731612355.post-54755841219555878312013-03-14T15:29:21.469-07:002013-03-14T15:29:21.469-07:00I agree with you on Starlin, I have mixed feelings...I agree with you on Starlin, I have mixed feelings on the Kree-Skrull War. While they aren't all that good in 2013, I can see what would have appealed to kids about them in the 70s when they were coming out. In <i>Supergods</i>, Morrison makes a good case for them (though he's much more fond of guys like Starlin and Gerber).Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.com
