I'm also reading a lot of other vintage comics with a reading group, and so many of them are interesting mainly because they're a case study in the origins of comics' big preoccupations. There's so much about these familiar characters that's fallen by the wayside over the years, plus a lot of (often strange) stuff that's managed to endure. I get a kick out of thinking about the space between the two.Memoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922151273874989122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936145743709676409.post-70164732245797269252016-02-07T12:23:15.850-06:002016-02-07T12:23:15.850-06:00For a while, my brother-in-law was trying to read ...For a while, my brother-in-law was trying to read all the Marvel comics from the beginning. This was an insane goal. There are hilarious things like the Magneto panel you've excerpted, but like -- the comics aren't GOOD, and there's only so much time a person can dedicate to reading things on purpose that aren't GOOD.Jenny @ Reading the Endhttp://readingtheend.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936145743709676409.post-68765780692960727212016-02-05T12:53:34.572-06:002016-02-05T12:53:34.572-06:00It's definitely worth exploring, and you reall...It's definitely worth exploring, and you really can jump in just about anywhere!Memoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922151273874989122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936145743709676409.post-26132404124209240692016-02-04T19:01:57.824-06:002016-02-04T19:01:57.824-06:00I signed up for a Marvel Unlimited subscription at...I signed up for a Marvel Unlimited subscription at the end of last year and I feel like it was an excellent decision. I'm currently reading the entire 'Civil War' arc, and then I'm going to read some bad guy comics, like Loki and The Winter Soldier. 'Uncanny X-Men' looks pretty good though - I might check it out.Heatherhttps://bitsnbooks.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
