Most American comic books that are ongoing are formulaic repeats of the same story over and over again with different window dressing. -M Dang, dude! I don't guess you'll let me sig that, will you?

No artist, not even Jack Kirby, ever succeeded in making the Red Skull look cool. He actually looked better in the movie than in any of the comics.
There, I said it.

I absolutely HATE Marvel's endless assembly line of overhyped, overblown and overinflated events. There! I said it!

The last event mini that I enjoyed from Marvel had was Secret Invasion. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for each issue.

The last event I fully enjoyed was The Infinity Gauntlet in 1991. You could do away with every single event since that one (even War and Crusade which I enjoyed many aspects of) and the Marvel Universe would be much the better for it.

Annihilation and Conquest were the last two I participated in. And previous to that Age of Apocalypse. I agree with WPP, if it's just an endless event over and over it can get to where you can't enjoy anything they print, if these events are in every title they publish. Even Infinity Gauntlet/War/Crusade proved that, and I like aspects of all three events.

As for Archie, I have absolutely no opinion on the subject. I've never bought or read a single issue of any of the assorted Riverdale series, nor have I ever had the slightest desire to do so. It's just something that has not appealed enough to me as a concept that I want to try to get into it.

I might have done the same but don't remember.

I might have done the same but don't remember. Makes sense. My first intro to comics were the original Marvel Star Wars books in the late 70s. No one I knew ever had any Archies lying around; it was always super-hero stuff from the Big Two, predominantly Marvel, so that it what I gravitated to.

^^ Archies, along with Charltons were the comics of choice at the barbershop.
That's really the only place I read them. They were okay, but really not up my alley, either. They seemed more for girls than boys.
Though I do someday want to read the trade collection of L'il Archie I've heard so much about.

I have a more fond memory of the lil Archie comics than the regular titles.
