Do you prefer comics made before or after the year 2000?

[olive jacinth]

art improved

[mystic pulsar]

some stuff was better prior some was better after

[foggy raptor]

Guys

The Todd McFarlane runs

Kraven Last Hunt

Spider-Man 2099...

The OG Avengers Secret Wars and Infinity War...

[olive jacinth]

amazing fantasy 15

[foggy raptor]

The uncanny X-Men run

[ripe mountain]

i mostly read post-2000s

though they're not without fault

[strong otter]

Most of my favorite characters weren’t introduced until the 2000s-2010s so…

[mild herald]

Glad they finally used my question

I've been excited to see these answers

[barren ocean]

Infinity War is the only reason I voted pre-2000

That made me have the appreciation I have for comics today

[mild herald]

X-Men (1991) has some absolutely top-tier art

[flat jay]

I really like the 90s aesthetic imo

Even though I haven't owned a comic made back then

I might get Deadpool #22 (1997)

[supple raptor]

This was a hard question

[timber garnet]

The 70s-90s did Batman’s characterization very well. Long Halloween/Dark Victory, the Halloween specials, Shaman, Man Who Falls. Post 2000s the comics seemed to focus less on Batman and more on the other members of the Bat-family tbh. And with that his characterization became more generalized(I love Under the Red Hood, but let’s be honest Red Hood carries the comic).

Likewise we stopped getting crossovers as much post-2000s. I own the Batman vs Predator, Hulk, Daredevil, Punisher, Marvel vs DC and Superman vs Alien comics. They’re awesome and modern crossovers kinda just fall short

The early 2000s were great for comics but 2010s were really really awful. New 52, All New All Different- gross! 🤢 🤮

The 90s gets too much hate, the early 00s had some serious stinkers too. Secret Invasion and Final Crisis kinda sucked, I don’t get why ppl like them they were corny as hell. Identity Crisis and One More Day were also bad

[fair girder]

cause I was born in the 70s. I grew up,in the 80s & 90s. That's when I started buying comics.

[fossil reef]

I like any comics after thought bubble narration was replaced by the rectangles tbh

[rapid cape]

Easy question for me

Post 2000s take it

We can go back and forth between the quality of before and after 2000s

But post 2000s art will always get my vote

[bleak lintel]

My all time favorite series is AvX

[tiny urchin]

@foggy raptor What did you vote for?

Because yes.

[timber garnet]

[olive jacinth]

It's not necessarily that it's bad, as I'm a big fan of the aesthetic of the 90s stuff, but just the quality of the books and the art has improved, since some of it is pretty rough partially due to printing quality imo

[olive jacinth]

Don't think you'll find a single person saying that one more day was good

That and sins past kinda ruined the later parts of jms' run of Spider-Man

[timber garnet]

I know that’s why I mentioned it

Secret Invasion and Final Crisis have their fans tho which I don’t get

[olive jacinth]

What's your issue with secret invasion?

I found it was pretty good

[timber garnet]

I just wasn’t impressed. Kinda wish more happened

The heroes find out there’s skrull spies, they go to a jungle, fight the skrulls and that’s it. There wasn’t much mystery, conspiracy or espionage with it

[olive jacinth]

Fair enough, I do agree they could have gone in more depth with some bits of if people are skrulls or not

The whole is Tony stark a skrull could also have been done a bit better to convince people better too

[vivid depot]

Pre-2000s are the classics

They’ve just tried to subvert and repeat everything since

(Besides Civil War)

[mild herald]

^

[ashen storm]

I prefer post cuz I just do not like the classic style of dialogues.

The art is also a factor but not a deal breaker. The dialogue is.

[foggy raptor]

Pre-2000

[hidden summit]

i like venom comics

and the deadpool

[thorn crypt]

the hell

[timid solstice]

Miles Morales

[uneven idol]

daredevil born again, man without fear, venom lethal protector, weapon x, a lot of the best spider-man stories are all pre 2000s

bendis and maleev did get their hands on daredevil in 2001 though sooooooooooooo

[humble skiff]

bruh

no shi

[sick spoke]

I like post 2000 because I can actually get them without selling my kidney

[fallow radish]

My first introduction to comics was the King in Black Series

It was orgasmic

[rapid cape]

So you didn't read Annihilation, Annihilation Conquest, War of Kings and Thanos Imperative

[rapid cape]

Blud said it was orgasmic

[rapid cape]

This is what happens when you try to stick with Earth's mediocre stortlines

Cosmic>>>

[vivid depot]

Zdarsky’s Daredevil and Al Ewing’s Immortal Hulk have been the best issues

Even with that

None of these stories would exist without the pre-2000s

[vivid depot]

Never even heard of War of Kings, but I can tell you that Annihilation and Thanos are characters that wouldn’t exist without the pre-2000s

[rapid cape]

Sure but you also said they just try to subvert and repeat everything since. Those storylines I pointed out actually possess originality as far as Marvel is concerned.

[vivid depot]

They’re only original plot lines because they subvert what they established as the norm

It’s all based on what came before

[rapid cape]

But they don't subvert what came before. They pay respect to it and add new things.

[south fable]

giggles

[vague ivy]
