I feel like I have a steep mountain to climb with Star Trek - I really don't know the stuff after TNG so well - but Marvel runs a lot deeper. It may be a while before I get to the more recent stories.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-49470876070608105172020-03-08T16:56:46.836-04:002020-03-08T16:56:46.836-04:00Agreed!

The closest I can claim is the relaunch of Green Lantern in '59. It's comparable - certainly wordier than the 2020 equivalent.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-88978583126628109202020-03-07T17:35:42.150-05:002020-03-07T17:35:42.150-05:00House of M is best known for the phrase, "No ...<i>House of M</i> is best known for the phrase, "No more mutants." Ended up being a pivotal moment in X-Men comics that led to the debut of Hope (whose story is explained by that name, thank you), the last big moment for that franchise until the recent Jonathan Hickman comics. <i>House of M</i> also helped solidify Brian Michael Bendis' position as Marvel's top writer. You should definitely check out his <i>Ultimate Spider-Man</i>, if you haven't already. A lengthy run with an alternate Peter Parker, and then the debut of Miles Morales.Tony Laplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854455859399339169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-62229653329795922452020-03-05T17:22:54.851-05:002020-03-05T17:22:54.851-05:00It will be interesting to see how the MCU integrat...It will be interesting to see how the MCU integrates the mutants into the movies.

I've never noticed it in DC books of the same era.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.com
