A lot. The edgy era was really only like 4 years, and even then it was just limited to Marvel and Image.
Wasn't the 90s when DC started doing shock deaths? Like that b***h in the fridge that people never shut up about.
They were already doing that in the 80s.
70s.
>even then it was just limited to Marvel and Image.
Did you forget 90s Doctor Fate or Azrael Batman?
>Azrael Batman?
Was intentionally a send-up of that stuff. Most of the AzBats stuff was written by old comic writers and house-style classic artists doing their best impression of 90's extreme stuff.

I love this cover by Dick fricking Sprang of all people. It looks insane.
crazy to think by 1993 he was already retired from mainstream comics for 33 years.
Was it during the time they started crediting batman ghost artists?
Unfortunately no, Sprange retired long before credits became standard. I think he was recognized as one of Kane's ghosts early on, though, certainly by the 70's.

Fate was never trying to be edgy, only adopting dominant aesthetics
Jared Stevens was always played as the hapless mook who would find some half-assed means of surviving and processing the utter shit being thrown at him. Book of Fate was a legitimately great series
if you're a Doctor Strange fan, his longest comic book run ran from 1988-1996
if you're a Silver Surfer fan, his longest comic book ran from 1987-1998
if you're a Ghost Rider fan, the Danny Ketch Midnight Sons incarnation was the longest and most iconic run that started in 1990
if you're a Hulk fan, Peter David's run began in 1990
if you're a Flash fan, Mark Waid's iconic run was from the 90s
at the very end of the 90s you got a revitalized Spider-Man, Daredevil, Black Panther, and Deadpool comic
Batman has always been Batman
If you're Punisher fan, in the 90s he had 4 solo books + GN
>if you're a Doctor Strange fan, his longest comic book run ran from 1988-1996
was it good?
>silver surfer
late silver was... weird. not in a good way.
There were plenty of good comics in the 90s but I wouldn't consider and of the comics that used this particular aesthetic as the good ones.
Sure. A lot of the more ambitious stuff from the 80's carried over into the 90's, the indie scene was the best it ever was and DC did some great shit with their Vertigo label. Even with how incredibly embarrassing the XTREME shit was there was still a good run here and there with the big two.
It was complete edginess, characters had almost no personality and were more about guns and muscle

I think how much a person loves that story is really going to depend on whether they were an 80s Spider-Man reader or not, how invested they were in the 80s Hobgoblin mystery, and if they were still angry about the way it ended ten years later.
If none of that applies to you, it's not really something to go out of your way to read, three issues just isn't enough to re-open and resolve an old mystery in a satisfactory way, and after hyping the villain up so much as one of the best Goblins, he goes down really quickly and easily at the end.
90s spidey is where they started publishing a bunch of one shots and graphic novels, i think better than the 80s.
>> Dark Horse's Godzilla
>Good to Very Good
How many of those were original comic stories after all? I know they localized the RoG Manga.
yes now go back
People used words other than "cringe" and "based" to describe things. That was nice. Never gave it much thought unitl now.
It was the last time story lines mattered and weren't raped by the status quo a hundred times
90s were based especially if you are a coomer
>90s were based especially if you are a coomer
LET'S TAKE A TRIP AND GO BACK...
There used to be so much ass and breasts in the comic book shop you'd think you'd stepped into an adult video store.
The 90's truly was a different time.

I miss it so.

It was when comics finally looked right, beforehand they where close but always lacked that consistent detail, edge and style, 90s finally gave us the full picture, then marvel went super israelite and ruined it by now paying, thus Img and the split hurt everyone, though i think a lot of great came out of the 90s.
based and redpilled. I agree that pre90s comics looked dull
I feel like coloring peaked in the late 80s/90s. You could see people using more traditional coloring mediums, copics, or straight up oil paintings. They had finally gotten color accurate printing right, I think. I wish things had stayed that way, instead of going largely digital like now. Some of the digital stuff in the 90s, especially the early 90s, was spotty, but there were some publishers doing traditional/digital combo coloring, like Chaos! that looked cool.
Pic related. Jason Jensen would lay down color in Copics (which looked awesome on their own) then Jack Gray would go in and add the glow effect for her energies.
it was great, but people only reamember the bad edgy stuff
it was pure Grunge
Vertigo and Dark Horse Comics made amazing content. Sin City, Hellboy, Sandman, Preacher, Hellblazer etc
Hellblazer stopped being as good as it was when transitioned to Vertigo.
It was wonderful time for alternative books.
DC.
First of all, everything you've learned about that time is wrong.
>mangas started to be published
>indie comics became huge
>graphic novels
Unless you only read image comics, you wouldn't know what was going on.
>we live in a time when we can finally tell boomers to frick of with their gayass opinions and speak how it is
90s was peak culture. not only comics. The earliest best games - HOMM, Doom, DROD, Jazz Jackrabbit, HALF-FRICKING-LIFE, Diablo, and other blizzard games. Great movies (Mortal Kombat for the fatality win), and books (Harry potter started in 90s)
and cartoons, don't forget about cartoons
started to be published
No they started publishing some manga in the US in the 80s, maybe a little in the 70s
But the 90s was where it really got going
Plus the Youtube outrage drones don't want to acknowledge it but American comics artists of the 90s were influenced by manga
The first printed manga in US was I Saw It from 1982.
https://archive.org/details/SCAN0084
There were some Garo stories published in the early seventies in a culture magazine. If you're talking floppies, Star*Reach had a Hiroshi Hirata story as well.
A lot of the big two/Image books coming out at the time weren't great (with exceptions obviously), but there were a lot of good indie books, some cool stuff from Dark Horse/Vertigo, and manga was picking up steam like and
said. People mostly remember the xtreme/edgy shit, but if you look beyond the surface level, the 90s were pretty good.
Manga goes back to the 80s, but yeah, the 90s is when it definitely started to pick up. Dark Horse used to be the place to get a manga licensed. I remember buying Gunsmith Cats back then, and they still flipped books "American style". It made car chases initially pretty confusing, everyone driving with the steering wheel on the right, like a bunch of Bongs.
the best part about the 90's era was the costumes for sure. anyone who disagrees doesn't know what a cool costume looks like. everything needs more satchels.
It's all about the straps, my dude
Gotta be strapped

Modern comics that rebooted the status quo at "only humans" wish they could be half as good as this
Spawn. He didn't make a big deal about killing his villains that needed it - he just did it and went on with his life. Wanted to root out corruption in the intelligence agencies. Insanely pro-gun.
>He didn't make a big deal about killing his villains that needed it - he just did it and went on with his life.
Those villains weren't made to be part of an IP farm to be sold off to Sony years later. Certain EA games CEO might say McFarlane was a fricking idiot.
Image was always bad besides Savage Dragon
What about Invincible and Elephant Men?
t. Soulless Youtube outrage drone
Savage Dragon issues 1-100 rock.
it seemed like there was always something worth reading.
>cringe
It saddens me to see that OP is still a homosexual.
It was great, especially for indies.
DC in 1997 had JLA, Hitman, Starman and the Ostrander/Mandrake publishing monthly in their main superhero line.
Thye have not done something on a similar level since.
x-cutioners song was good. age of apocalypse was ok. that's about it.
you can drop x-men after 1993, skip all the way to 99, maybe 98.
Granted I was a little kid, but I loved the X-Men comics at the time. That's all i read though, since I was dependent on my parents buying comics for me, and they'd only shell out for one or two a month.
The best Venom/Spider-Man confrontations were in the 90's, Maximum Carnage was a 90's event.
This page is great, what is the name of the artist
Mark Bagley.
What was the point of this
She always had different costumes
Tell me about 90s Antarctic Press
Go read all these Gold Digger comics right meow
http://antarcticpresslibrary.com/
Okay. I actually read a lot. Gold Digger consistently ran through the 90s, in back and white. Ninja High School also ran, under different artists, so it varied in quality. They did a bunch of specials for both Gold Digger and NHS too. That was also when Ben Dunn did Warrior Nun Areala. Theres a spin off comic called Serina that is kinda dated, but entertaining. Strangfers in Paradise started on AP, in a three issues miniseries. They also published Box Office Poison, a good series. Esad Ribics first US work was published under AP, Codename Scorpio. He also did the art for a Shotgun Mary one shot.
Other than that, there was some manga, (Golden Warrior Iczer One, for example)and some furry stuff (Katmandu, Furrlough, Hit the Beach).
But yeah, do what this dude said.
Ben Dunn has most of NHS up on webtoon.
