[QUOTE="Viking Bastard, post: 1235628, member: 509"] Well, we both knew it had to happen eventually, right? At least, now, it's out of the way and we can keep on doin' the agreeing thing. I don't consider him to be the greatest storyteller ever, either, but he always keeps me interested. His New X-Men is the 3e of the X-Universe, brought me back after many years of absence and he got what the JLA was all about (something the DCU editorial just didn't seem to get), the Big Seven kickin' interstellar butt and having cosmic adventures. His writing is like a strange mix of 70s and 80s New Age ideas mixed with Silver Age DC storytelling, focusing on the pure power of imagination rather than the Marvel style of over characterization. Plus, he doesn't work well with all artists, which has been somewhat of a problem with his New X-Men I've always preferred Silver Age DC to Silver Age Marvel myself. I like to read old Green Lantern and JLA stories, but I just can't get into the SA Spidey and Co. (with the exceptions of the Kirby Hulk and the post Stan Lee Avengers). But I disgress, The Invisibles is one of those rare bodies of work I seem to be able to read again and again without gettin' bored (others include Hitman Transmetropolitan, DKR, Groo and more). Well, lately, he's been loosing punch for me. Post-Hitman/Preacher, his stuff has been a bit *too* aimless for me. He's recycling his jokes. His Punisher rawks (mostly) but his Nick Fury (and more) leaves a lot to be desired. [/QUOTE]
