Wow, I couldn't disagree more. That's my favorite Avengers run and my favorite version of Scarlet Witch. I liked the Perez/Vey team and I liked Triathlon and Silverclaw a lot more than some past members like Mantis, Moondragon or Dr. Druid. But different strokes and all that, right?
Cei-U! I summon the wildly divergent opinions!
Your favorite run of all time ?wow. Thomas/ Buscema ranks as my number one. I have a soft spot for the first 29 and the Shooter runs were great. I don’t think Buseik and Perez make my top 5. I really liked Michelinie’s run as well at the ones mentioned above. I think it was Shooter’s run that made The Avengers my favorite book |

I pulled out my DVD Batman 66 set and watched a few episodes. Man, It was hard to sit through. I loved the series as a child, and having rewatched it as an adult ... it didn't bother me but I think the humor has dated badly. I will give the series props for one thing though: Batman is more comics-accurate than any other cinematic version. He's solemn but not humorless, and he actually is a brilliant detective (he just lives in a very silly universe). BINGO! |

I did like Batman '66 once, and then I turned 7 and scenes like this just made me roll my eyes. Maybe this worked in the 60s, but it's not my Batman so...

Miller's Dark Knight for me
I get what it did. I just think the artwork (one of the main reasons I read and enjoy comics) is yuck. I remember buying and reading for the first time 15 years ago and feeling very meh about it. Especially considering I love Miller's Spidey work on Spec Spidey and Daredevil stuff, which I acquired/read before Dark Knight.

The Thomas / Buscema run was a masterclass in superhero group comic books. As much as some celebrate 60s FF, I believe The Avengers from Thomas / Buscema was the Marvel group comic concept at its best. |

The FF was always its own weird kind of thing - more a family whose members happened to be super-powered rather than superheroes who decided to form a team - so from that perspective I don't really compare them to the Avengers, who I agree provide more the standard superhero team paradigm, though I imagine the JLA would be the choice of many comics fans.

Yeah, I've always found the fondness for mac & cheese puzzling.

I'm having mac and cheese for dinner tonight. I love it, especially when you add tuna or diced Spam to it.
Cei-U!
I summon the culinary comfort!
