When Grant Morrison was on Kevin Smith’s Fat man on Batman podcast, they talked about Image comics being like techno club music with everything taken out and only the bass left. Such was the over the top and exuberance of both the comics and their creators who created what they grew up loving. They also talked about how the 90’s stuff saved comics from the “frilled cuff” of vertigo at the time.

No, the comics of the 90's didn't suck. They were pretty widely collected and kept.

Among the highlights were the stories with rogue and Remmy. It also gave rise to the death of superman storyline, and the resultant supermen that stepped in to lend a hand until sups returned to life.

That, gave rise to Smallville and Louis and Clark.

GI Joe was big during the late 80's and early 90's, as was ElfQuest.

Just got tired of the narrative going unopposed.

Saw a dude wearing a Crow T-shirt today and we discussed the graphic novel and it's subsequent series that spun off from it at length.
