Although the line began just before the 1990s, and continued into the '00s for a time, I'd add Elseworlds. I've thoroughly enjoyed quite a few of those.

I didn't read any major Story Arcs and Comic Books during that time except the Death of Superman and the Power of Shazam. The best writing in this timeframe is Morrison's JLA and his 127 issue Masterpiece is by far my favorite gem in that era.

I mean, Ghost World. The '90s were the peak for independent adult floppy comics-that-kind-of-worked-as-art-objects-unto-themselves, especially from Fantagraphics. Now everything is 25 dollar graphic novels, 'an I miss actual comic comics. Yes, and reading Ghost World as it came out in the individual issues of Eightball was a very different experience to reading it as a collected whole. For me it worked much better reading it as separate instalments or episodes. "Ghost World" wasn't conceived as a series. Clowes initially saw it as a stand-alone. Eightball was a pretty interesting series--one creator, yet you never knew what to expect. It wasn't as uneven as Zero-Zero, which had some good work but a lot of "filler," though I guess that's what happens with anthologies. (On the other hand, magazines like MAD--and even Cracked and Sick--and the Warren books were usually of a consistent quality within each issue, even though they had good and bad periods. But they also had real editors.) |

I've not got around to reading any of those issues yet because I found Howard Porter's artwork so unappealing. |

I've said before and I'll say again, I never understood the hoopla about Morrison's JLA. It was just fine, solid stories with below average art. But it wasn't anything overly special. I truly believe that it was, in part, such a big deal because the Justice League had been so very very dire for so long before Morrison took it on. |

I've understand that you are more detailed oriented than me; but I'm not into details and specifics and who gets credit for ... but, I'm a comic book reader that don't put much effort into details and specifics and bothers a lot of members here that reads comic books. I just wished people read Morrison's work in his JLA and read his 33 books that you've mentioned here and get over the artwork of Howard Porter and enjoy it. I've thought he wrote all of these books and back then I've didn't paid much attention of who wrote what. Now, I do ... because I've offended many members here that I don't give credit ... as credit due to the numerous writers and artists here. Thanks for clearing some of things up by pointing out the glaring omission that other people written JLA books of which Morrison started out in the first place. |

I didn't like Porter's art but I loved the Morrison run on JLA. It's one of the series (along with Busiek's Avengers) that brought me back to superhero comics.
Mark Waid followed it up with a good run of his own (and with a better artist).

That was a fantastic time travel tale where each Avenger was plucked from a certain era for this team. |
