Anyone that has longevity in the comics medium will always have my respect, no matter what they've done. Personally I have never cared for McFarlane's stuff, like a majority of Marvel in the 90s. He was a major factor of me dropping Amazing Spider-Man. I found his work to be subpar and lacking. From having a run of great ASM artists to his work, it was so jarring and unappealing to me. That was teenage me. Now I'm late 40s me, I've gone back and looked it and I still stand by my assessment.
I will give all the accolades that's he done for comics; bring in a new generation of fans, artists and creatives. Shook up the comics industry with the creation of Image, revolutionized the modern toy market. He's a marketing genius and brilliant businessman. As a modern creative type... that's subjective. To me, he's still the terrible artist that gave Spider-Man no backbone, created a terrible mask and made me stop a run of ASM of 100 to 300.

DubipR The Spidey I was getting was the Slott/Bagley book, because...Bagley, but it turned out to be another Spider-Verse book, not a Spidey book really, and while I sort of like that stuff, enough to check out on Unlimited, not enough to spend any of my very limited budget for new books on. -M Slott's getting long in the tooth for Spider-Man. I know he loves writing Peter but this run with Bagley has been dismal. Just filling in a story to push nonsense. He needs another Marvel book, or let him try his stuff at DC again.

tartanphantom Crimebuster DubipR MDG Does anybody own a copy of this comic/zine from '77 I stumbled across it on Lonestar during the shelter in place portion of 2020, and have been looking for it since. GCD doesn't have it indexed. Lonestar's write up mentions a lot of creator's I like but I am not sure if they are the artists on the pin ups, if it is new art from them if so, or if they actually have interior page art in the book. Mid-grade copies are running about $20 on Lonestar, which is a little pricey for me without knowing a bit more about the actual interiors, and I have never seen one in the wild to take a closer look, so I was hoping someone here might own one or have seen one and be able to provide a little more insight into the contents of this magazine-sized zine. -M I've heard of it because of the talent in the book. Never seen one in the wild. Like you, I'd like to see the interior before pulling the trigger on a copy myself.

*also dropped Spider-Man Fantastic Four WildC.A.T.S Justice Society Mignolaverse books (Hellboy et.al) as singles -M Yeah. I stopped a bunch of reads as well. I gave up on Spider-Man. Zeb is just meandering into nonsense-ville. It's taken close to 2 years to get remotely close what happened in issue 2. Too many side-stories and crossover bull$#!t, I gave up on it. I wanted to like the relaunch of Fantastic Four... its ah... yeah. Nothing fantastic about it. WildCATS is done; DC still doesn't know what to do with the Wildstorm characters. They ruined Majestic for me, who's my favorite character from that Universe. Is Justice Society even a book? Hasn't been like 15 months between issues? Dropped. And Mignola always best reads in trades; you're better off. Less downloads for is me better.

Spirit by Darwyn Cooke #4 (random one to check it out.. seems like I will really like it) I highly recommend getting all of the Cooke Spirit issues, the Batman/Spirit One-Shot and 1-12. It's really good. Great storytelling and well, its Darwyn Cooke. The later issues of the run are good and solid but those magic 13 issues are a must have in a collection.
