Now you see why Dick Dillin got to draw JLA. |

I unabashedly love (and collect) the "junk heap heroes" era of Blackhawk precisely because it is so cheerfully, spectacularly awful. It isn't even camp (camp requires a sense of ironic self-awareness). it's just plain terrible, gloriously so.
Cei-U!
I summon Dr. Hands and The Listener!

I believe during the Mark Waid FF run, it was disclosed that the Yancey street gang never pranked The Thing. It was Johnny Storm all along. It was a silly revelation because there had been physical attacks from them upon Grimm shown in the pages of prior issues. I don't think it has been mentioned since or maybe the Yancey Street gang hasn't been mentioned since that time either.

I believe during the Mark Said FF run, it was disclosed that the Yancy street gang never pranked The Thing. It was Johnny Storm all along. It was a silly revelation because there had been physical attacks from them upon Grimm shown in the pages of prior issues. I don't think it has been mentioned since or maybe the Yancey Street gang hasn't been mentioned since that time either. It's "great ideas" like this that make me glad my comic book universe expanded only so far. SHEESH! |

Another "fix" Waid implemented was to tear down the image of Doom as a "noble" villain...by revealing that he had secret torture chambers hidden around Latveria. Look, I can buy that he isn't as noble as he pretends to be (that's pretty obvious actually) but I liked to think he genuinely treated his own people well. It gave him complexity. |

Look, I can buy that he isn't as noble as he pretends to be (that's pretty obvious actually) but I liked to think he genuinely treated his own people well. It gave him complexity. Doom has no need of secret torture chambers as his ego deems it necessary to show his torture's in plain sight for showing his people his benevolence to them as his leader. Any "torture" he performs is plainly necessary to maintain control/power, used upon his enemies or in advancing his own experiments. Doom has a rationalization for any and all of his actions. He is Doom, Monarch of Latveria so therefore no other explanation required. |

Byrne has a word 'de-uniquing', he uses to describe what DC did to its characters, which he says as one reason he preferred Marvel in the silver age.
Since most DC heroes had sidekicks, and/or relatives with similar costumes or abilities...and since it was revealed that there were a TON of Green Lanterns, making him the 'most de-uniqued' one of them all, Byrne became a 'Marvel guy'.

Don't forget the ludicrous amount of universes the Marvel Multiverse now has. |
