He works with Jane Goldman too, who co-writes his scripts. They seem a great team.

Did you think it was clueless when Jack Kirby himself drew Captain America doing the Nazi salute directly to Hitler? (Tales of Suspense #6, a World War Two flashback story.) Cap was mind-controlled at the time because it's comics. Just like he is currently not himself due to the Cosmic Cube.

Jurassic Park? They made sequels but none had the popularity of the first and then it seemed to fade away (except for the name Toronto Raptors.)

Um… the next album by My Blue-dy Valentine.

And if it was called Pandora it would already have a popular app associated with it!

That sounds right. When did the novels start coming out? (Not the ones that came out when the movies were still out). Those seem to restart the interest in the franchise and I think were early 1990s.

I've never seen any of them so I guess start with the fifth one? Or keep skipping them if I'm not into cars or car chases?

I'm just confused why Aida left Daisy with Inhuman powers in this version of the world. Or if she controls the framework why she can't just kill Daisy or Jemma. Basically, I'm not sure what the rules are. But I am enjoying the ride!

"Starlight" was too. Lots of heart. While people bash him, Millar does go out of his way to make sure his artists get half the ownership of the comics they do together, which I respect a lot.

I don't think it was necessary to have gone down this road to make the character interesting, but I don't mind that they've gone down this route either. Totally understand why it's not for everyone, or that they don't care for the execution of the story.

I shall check it out! Thanks everyone for the recommendations!

Thanks! I don't know any of the indie books you listed so will check 'em out. Fun to see so many people excited by Superman titles.

I thought it was okay, but super decompressed. It'll read better in the trade and all that.

The short story he wrote about death, "Sam's Story", for Superman/Batman #26 is beautiful and heartbreaking (with art by his long time collaborator Tim Sale, who no doubt knew Loeb's son.)

"Publishers aren’t obligated to respect the original intentions and
ideology of the creators of their corporate-owned IP, but they also have
to face the consequences of alienating readers that have formed a
personal connection to those characters and their core values"

I liked that era a great deal as well, but in the 1980s the Marvel Universe was only 20-25 years old. And in the early days they were very limited to the number of books they could publish due to the deal they were stuck in. Add thirty more years of continuity, and so many more titles each month, and it's a lot…

If not Marvel books, what are you reading? My knowledge of the Image or Indie books is not deep. So I read Saga (of course) but could use recommendations. Or for DC books too.

That I could see. The similar Superior Spider-Man (Spidey taken over by Doc Ock) was more fun (except the lame ending) but I'm enjoying this so far.

Possibly. But also to give them a longer history in the Marvel U. Hickman had SHIELD going back to the time of Da Vinci, no? Not sure if an equivalent of Hydra was in those stories.

In Marvel comics, the American hero Captain America (and the Invaders) helped win World War 2.
