Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hee! She has a pretty awesome collection, if I do say so myself. As for NC, we're still considering it...

Hmm, one of my favoritest ever pages was during Claremont and Byrne's early run of X-Men, where Wolverine has been left for dead in the sewers by the Hellfire Club's face-masked minions, and he's looking up at daylight, so that the light of the grate is on his face, and with his claws bared is vowing revenge.
And then you had to wait an entire month to find out what happened next... which led, in fact, directly into the Dark Phoenix storyline, so things went even more to hell than you expected.
I may have been young and innocent in those days ("the golden age of anything is when you're fourteen") but damn that was a good comic book series. SIGH

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a Wolverine/Power Pack issue of the X-Men, and I'm blanking on the artist, but there were lots of wires, and not much speaking (I think Logan goes feral, and Katie Power helps him snap out of it) and I remember each page being a joy.
Same goes for many of the pages of Ronin, but my memory can't narrow it down much more.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Claremont couldn't write dialogue for shit. Or maybe that was just dialogue in general was shit in those day. I just barely re-read the Dark Phoenix saga, and it was painful. What HAPPENED was awesome, but the talking was horrible.
Ronin was fantastic. Had to rebuy it recently. Now, I seem to remember that Camelot 3000 was really good, too. Am I confused about that? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

I need to reread it! I remember liking it, but i was kinda easily pleased back then. And delighted by the Tristan/Iseult thing too.
I have the set -- in storage in New Orleans.
Mmmm. 4-colour soup.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'm with you there. I was actually reading through all the old X-Mens for the first time last year and I was thinking "This dialogue is awful. I can't believe this was considered the pinnacle of the line." I agree, cool storylines, though.
