Um.
Much about X-men is on wikipedia -- so much that the mind boggles. But for convoluted backstory, try visualising the Summer family tree in the head. It will ache. For hours afterwards. And then you will go mad.

The problem with the old coloring is that it hasn't been updated since the comics were first released, and its flaws have become magnified over the years as printing has improved and the standard for comic coloring has gone through the stratosphere.
When I first read Sandman (completely the fault of David) the colouring threw me off so much at first that I had to look away from the panels. I was trying to figure out if the comic book producers in the eighties had some freakish love affair with neons, because it didn't seem consistent with the storyline. Same was true for Constantine, when I started reading that last year. It's kind of a shock to go from, say, Manhunter, or that rare good run of Robin last spring, to super-saturated colors.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I remember thinking at the time that the color was crapulescent and the inking a pretty bad job compared to other comics of the day. It put me off until buzz about the writing got me to read "A Doll's House."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From the Robin #151: interesting. At least I hope it is. Needless to say, I'm less than enthused with the character developments of Cassandra Cain.

Wow. That's ... interesting. I agree with you, about Cassandra. (also, wtf is up with the pen and ink. I really don't like the way that's drawn.)

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 have no idea what's going in that scene. But after a year off, Tim has apparently decided to trade in his green pants for orange tights and wearing his underwear outside his pants. Weird.

At least he's not EVIL.
God, I'm pissed.

You could *kind* of see it coming. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.
