"That may be the most subtle expression of "their old stuff was better" I have yet seen!" No disrespect intended John - and it probably tells you more about me than it does about the industry. I grew up in the era of you, Chris and Terry (X-men), you (FF / Superman), Miller (DD / Batman) and Simonson (Thor) so I guess i was more than a little spoilt and it resonates with me the most. I've tried on more than occasion to get myself back into buying comics regularly and have failed....although I do need to pick up your new Next Men run!...some of my respect for that body of work is context (i was younger, less cynical, but still appreciated incredible art), some of it is nostalgia (the feel of getting the comics, the excitement of waiting to see what happened next etc) and part of it was being able to dive into a completely different universe just for an hour or so every month to see whats been going on.
