That could be true, it’s certainly been something I’ve come across. But not all, of course. I would never have embraced Peter David’s Hulk had I simply wanted the illusion of change. Nowadays, I think proper change is good. I don’t think anything should go to far - I don’t want to see Spider-Man wearing green armour and travelling the solar system in a rocket - but at the same time, I want to see some change. I did enjoy Dan Slott’s writing of Parker as CEO of Parker Industries. Lots of great stories there. I kind of liked the story told in Superior Iron Man. Never cared for the character before, but something about Tony becoming a villain brought on by his nanite suit appealed to me I have the exact opposite feeling on Superior Iron Man. It was a pale shadow of a far "superior" story in Superior Spider-Man where Otto Octavius took over Peter Parker's body and had to deal with life like that. Dan Slott did a fantastic job on that book, crafting a great story for Octavius full of depth and character development. Bad Tony? It was a mess, because he really wasn't evil, just a giant d-bag, petty and cruel to those around him. I bought the first four issues before I couldn't take any more of it. |

I don't know if this is a bold new direction or not, but Micronauts was just a good ol' straight up action/sci-fi-superhero comic with the Micronauts trying to overthrow the evil Baron Zemo, who had taken over the Microverse. It was basically just the Micronauts vs. Baron Zemo and his cronies. However, the Micronauts eventually triumphed (natch) and the series ended, and was re-launched with a new #1. The new series was much less action-oriented, and more cerebral and, perhaps, thought provoking. It was rather different than the first series, though with the same main characters, and I rather enjoyed it for what it was. Baron Karza. Zemo is a Captain America/Avengers villain.
Cei-U! I summon the name tags!
Come on, everyone knows that Kar-Za was Marvel's jungle lord hero. And Captain Zemo was that guy with the submarine in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

I like what was in it. My first crush. Me too. Yvonne Craig was awesome. The late 60's had a lot of beautiful women on TV. Barbara Eden. Elizabeth Montgomery. Mary Tyler Moore. Plus the many guest stars on Star Trek. |

The Wonder Woman by Byrne where Hippolyta is now WW and Diana is in Olympus was bold and I like it, but I guess it was meant to be temporary. The new Mister Terrific is... terrific, but I never really dug the original guy because of the costume (although he was well written in the Strazewski Justice Society comics). What I liked about Byrne's Wonder Woman was the retcon of Hippolyta being the 1940's WW and being a part of the JSA. I didn't like that Diana became a guest star in her own book after the Darkseid arc. He also muddied Donna Troy's origin even more.
As far as Mr Terrific? I agree the modern version is so much better than the original.

The Bold new direction. Speaking of, remember the "new formula" Coke from 1985? That was a good idea for a bold, new direction!  |

I’m not sure if New Coke ever made it over here. But I wish I’d been able to try it.
Ah well, I prefer Pepsi.

Between the two, I'm more of a Coke person, but I do love me some Wild Cherry Pepsi and Pepsi Max/Zero Sugar Neighbor gave me a can of this to try the other day, kind of taste like Jamaican Ginger Beer |
