No, RR means that Howard's original Red Sonya (or Sonia, I forget which) was a character from his historical fiction rather than a contemporary of Conan's. Roy Thomas and Barry Smith essentially rebranded her when he adapted "Shadow of the Vulture" for the Conan the Barbarian comic. Oh right, now that I didn't know. |

Basically everything that happened to the X-Men between 1992 and 2001, and then everything after 2004. Adjust start dates to suit your preference.  |

That's not fair...I did enjoy the Age of Apocalypse well enough, and Whedon's Astonishing X-Men was great for the first arc. Most of Carey's run was good, too. The other 96% of that time period, though? Trash it.  |

You're right about the historical Sonya, Kurt, but in the post Condessor was referring to I was inded talking about the first Red Sonja with a j, the one created in the Marvel universe for CtB #23. However, the swith from the "old" Red Sonja to the new reincarnated version or whatever happened a while after Dynamite picked up her series, so the Spider-man team-up may have happened before the first Red Donja died. Not that she was ever the "real" first Sonja anyway... That one was still alive and well (if a bit greyer) in Conan the king... *edit* I see that jodoc explained how the new Sonja was introduced. Apologies for the redundancy. |

Enjoyable for a little while, but did WAY too much damage to the team in the long run....  What. The. Frak?! Let me guess - 1990s? |

1989/1990 actually, and one of the ones that took the RIGHT lessons from grim and gritty Watchmen and Dark Knight.

The jump-suits and the big pouches and pockets? They rarely wear them in the series. It was a morale boosing and team building measure by Cham, but you almost never see them outside of this group photo.
Although it's hard to forgive that mullet on Brainiac 5.

People used to talk about how bad hair and clothes styles were in the 70s, but I would say the 80s has it beat hands down.
