I was just about to post this exact same page. Kingpin might as well add "B" to the end of that sentence.

Tom king sucks at Dialouge and looking back his arcs on batman are so so. Snyder is still better.

I've tried some of King's Batman stuff... doesn't work for me. It isn't awful but it feels like filler. Even thought War of Jokes and Riddles was overrated. I enjoyed Snyder's work more as well. What is Snyder doing now?

The 90s sucking is so overblown especially in reference to DC. There were duds but 90s DC had: Mark Waid Flash and Impulse, Rucka Batman, Kelley Puckett/Damian Scott Batgirl run, Kesel/Grummet Superboy, Morrison JLA, Archie/DnA Legion, Marz and Winick Green Lantern, Peter David Young Justice, Supergirl and Aquaman, James Robinson Starman and The Golden Age else worlds, Elseworlds as a whole took off in the 90s, Robinson/Goyer/Johns JSA, Kingdom Come, Chuck Dixon Robin and Nightwing, Gaiman Sandman, Ennis Hitman and Preacher (shyt really all of the Vertigo and Wildstorm lines)....I mean I could go on. These were all great runs.

90s DC is lowkey a golden age and laid groundwork for a lot of concepts and fan favorite characters.

'90s DC is solid, for the most part. Yeah, they catered to a few trends here and there, but they stayed they mostly stayed the course and had a lot of good writers on the roster. Much of '90s Marvel does not age well. They were following the artistic style and design trends of the time and having a good writer often seemed like an afterthought.

Nitpick & side note, I really hate Marvel's covers from around '96-'99 or so. They loved throwing as many fonts and logos onto the cover as they could. It just looks so sloppy and is incredibly annoying to me. :russ:

shyt takes me back tho...especially to the days of comics on newsstands. Those cover blurbs did do a good job of making the cover stand out.

I also remember this was round the time Marvel introduced the fold out cover which contained short character bios and summarys of the current story arc.
