Sue Richards dresses like a tart. Sue has always been the mom of the Marvel Universe and this change was jarring to say the least. Some opine that this was a reaction to the Image guys and their over the top depiction of characters, and some say it was just Defalco mocking that era. Either way, she joined Powergirl with a Boob window in her suit.

Joking aside, wasn't it like one of the most Aquaman's successful run, commercially and critically? It was. I bought the entire run until David left.

In 1994 Peter David took over writing Aquaman and this happened - With a character that historically can't keep a series going , I guess DC felt anything goes. He lasted quite a few years with a hook for a hand.

I just finished a 4 part series called Image united Plot: A criminal organization called the Covenant of the Sword unleashes a force that is separating the earth into 6 different planets. To stop this the Image heroes , led by Savant of the Wildcats , gathers a team to stop what is happening. Impressions: Kurt Busiek writes the book and a rotating team of artists ( Tony Daniels, Michael Ryan, Dan Norton) do the penciling. It's an average crossover story that does have a permanent effect. The Cyber-force world owned by Marc Silvestrie is separated from the rest of the Image universe. This is released in 1996 the same year that Lee and Liefeld did Heroes Reborn, so maybe Marc could see the handwriting on the wall and wanted to disassociate his properties from the rest. Easter eggs:While the earths are being separated , the Image heroes are visited by Marvel and other characters from other companies. Rating: I give it a C . I guess Buseik wasn't going to say no to a paycheck.

Here's an aerial view of one of my two neighbourhoods in the caribbean, taken by a blimp....if I need a dip it's less than a minute walk away. The other one has more green with lots of fruit trees but the blimp didn't cruise by there. The ocean behind the hills is a few miles away and is a convergence of the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean sea.
Did you move there or is it a vacation spot ?

Any more pie and I’ll be cast as Kingpin in the next Spider-Man flick.

I’ll send you some reading material. As a USPS employee, don't you know that it's illegal to ship that kind of material via the US mail? Okay. That was funny.

I feel it’ll be wrestling-themed. Only problem is, everyone’s lists will look the same, as most here will pick the five issues of Valiant’s Battlemania as their top five. That would mean it would be the first one I skipped in all these years. I’ll send you some reading material.

Sorry bro, Meonch wrote some crappy stories. Byrne rescued the book. Interestingly enough, of the first five issues, two are John Byrne stories, and I can honestly say I like the Moench ones better. Of course, Byrne will get better later on, but maybe so will Moench. I'm not expecting this run to end up being a classic, but maybe it'll be an under-appreciated gem. As of now, I prefer all five issues to the post-Kirby Stan Lee stories I've read. Perhaps i was a little harsh, his stories departed from the usual recycling of Dr Doom , Galactus etc. so he gets some credit for that. They weren’t terrible for what it was. Senkeweitz was a bad fit for the book.
