[QUOTE="Ratenef, post: 1255762, member: 6893"] [b]Age of Apocalypse[/b] I must state the the absolute worst idea that I have ever come across was the Age of Apocalypse idea that Marvel decided to push through the X books in the early ninties. That series, its lead up, its conception and its delivery, just reaked of MARKETING! "Hey guys, lets play around with the idea of What if the world was lead by Apocalypse all caused by Prof X dying in the 60's trying to protect Magneto's life." "Think of all the money we'll make." The day I stopped collecting comics (for an 8 year gap) was the day that I picked up the last issue of the X-Men (now called the New X-Men) prior to this series. It was the last straw for bad summer crossover ideas. I was so disgusted by this series that I gave away my 1500 comic collection (except the good bits (i.e. Dr. Strange, Sandman, V for Vendetta, etc.)). I recently began collecting again because of their being some series that are worth reading (Jim Starlin's The End & Thanos, Ultimate X-Men, 1602, Fantastic Four (the new stuff is really good), Dr. Fate and Transformers Armada (for my son who's 6). I was glad to see in reading this Thread that there are a few Dr. Strange fans out there. I also agree that the new Beast (who the hell came up with that idea) looking like a upright lion is just screwed up. Also, how did Angel get his wings back after his stint as the Archangel with his cool razor wings. And what I find truly funny is that despite the fact that most people will think of Hal Jordan when they think of Green Lantern the figure they decide to use for Hero Clicks is John Stewart. Heck, there isn't even a Guy Gardner!!! Thanks for listening, [/QUOTE]
