Eric
Once again thanks for your insight and opinion. Good to see that you also
didn't care for Liefeld (if you did I might have to stop talking to you, Ha
ha). I think his copycat comic was (or is) Fighting American now that you
mention it. I'd heard rumors that this character may have predated Cap on a
Captain America website but the point fell to the wayside and I never heard
for sure. But as you said it's pretty obvious who the reigning champ of
longevity is (despite several hiatus during the last 50+ years when Cap was
out of print).
I didn't even know there had been a "Fantastic Four" movie? What year did
that come out? If it was anytime before 1990 I can only imagine how bad it
must have been. As you said Marvel has never had great luck in terms of
movies but it seems as if they may have finally cracked that nut! Good news
for comics fans everywhere. And hopefully as a result of the X-Men success
Marvel will make enough money to avoid doing poor quality movies again. They
got some pretty big name stars in this movie (such as Jean Luc Picard).
Speaking of Adamantium my favorite poster I have shows Captain America and
Wolverine slugging it out and claws meet shield and the sparks are flying!!!!
This is from a Captain America cover picture from the late 1980's I believe
(and if you really want the number I'll dig through my binders full of comics
and find it for you). This battle could definetly be cool on the big screen.
I do find it strange that there is no mention of a superhero community outside
of the mutants in X-Men. In fact I find it hard to believe that there isn't
more crossover in the comics. You would think in a world filled with all
these superheros they would interact more often. It seems as if there are
enough bad guys to keep everyone busy huh?
I will read Kingdom Come (despite the fact it's DC). I'm not anti-DC I just
never got into them as much. Although I did used to love the
old "Superfriends" cartoon.
