I haven't read them
Haven't read yet either, but they're the only ones with any chance to be good.
I'll probably never read them.
The spider-man ones have constantly been good, the x-men ones have been kinda dull.
I own all of the legends issues, both the initial series and follow up, but idk it just feels weightless. Like wolverine patch, I bought them but about 3 issues in I regretted it and only continued cause it was 2 more and I didn’t want to leave it incomplete.
Lol not at all. The Spider-Man nostalgia minis are even worse. The art is particularly bad in most of them and shit like lethal protector is complete ass. They need to stop with the homosexual ongoings and make the status quo more like these continuities rather than relegating them to meaningless minis paced poorly to pad out 5 issues.
Idk, i thought the ben reilly one had nice art and was very satisfying, I enjoyed lost hunt too, the PAD stuff I didn't care for but it was inoffensive, lethal protector's art was really good honeslty.
I'm never really sure why these things exist. Sometimes it seems like they're for the purpose of throwing a bone to older writers and sometimes also older artists, talent Marvel wouldn't put on the main ongoing books anymore "because they're old" even though most of them are still better than the modern generation have ever been. But sometimes it seems more like these books exist as a tacit admission that modern Marvel is broken beyond repair, the characters, continuity and canon are all wrecked, so the best anyone can hope for is untold tales set back in better, more popular eras.
>They need to stop with the homosexual ongoings and make the status quo more like these continuities rather than relegating them to meaningless minis paced poorly to pad out 5 issues.
Generally agreed with this, just fix the present day characters instead of doing minis set in the past, but some of these minis are at least enjoyable. Some of them do have weird continuity errors, if you're going to do untold stories set in the past, make sure everyone working on the book does enough research to prevent this.
I like that they're not just doing Spider-Man and X-Men minis, we're getting more Adam Warlock content in these minis than the present day. Oddly we don't get many from the Avengers side of Marvel.
You forgot one purpose, maybe trying to validate current bullshit. Apparently some stories in X-Men Legends tie into Krakoa era crap.
The most likely reason:
They can't afford to pay the rates of older creators for an ongoing so the best they can do is have them do miniseries.
Why is Havok fricking Cyclops in the ass?
>Why is Havok fricking Cyclops in the ass?
Scott had a long, weird journey towards getting Wolverined on Krakoa, and incest with Havok was one step along that road.
The recent Retro Limited Series have been great! Symbiote Spider-man/Joe Fixit/New F4/Maestro trilogy by PAD; Spider-Man: Ben Reilly/Magneto Was Right by JMD; Silver Surfer:Rebirth/Warlock: Rebirt/Silver Surfer: Rebirth Legacy by Ron Marz; and Avengers:War Across Time by Paul Levitz. Every single one was better than their contemporary on-goings at their time releases.
Glad to have such an almost complete list. Guess I'll have to track down Maestro, too.
The silver surfer ones are horrible. The new fantastic four was one of the worst comics I’ve read in years I had it on my pull for issue 1 an immediately dropped it. Maestro and joe fixit were terrible. At least x-men legacy benefitted from each arc not overstaying their welcome.
Is this why they're doing a black armor Daredevil series now?
Have the events of any of these nostalgia bait books been acknowledged in books set in the present day?
In Al Ewing's Venom, Doctor Doom referenced that time he fought against Eddie Brock in one of the recent Lethal Protector minis, since that was the only time they'd ever canonically met each other.
The Ben Reilly one was sort of referenced during Spider-Man Beyond with Kafka knowing who Ben is
If they were written in the time they were set I'd probably like them. But they're not. And it's obvious bait. So I don't. It's a perfect example of too little too late.
Nobody here reads comics. We just complain about them.
We're really good at it, though.
Then why aren't we complaining about the nostalgia minis?
Read OP.
>nostaligiabait
Frick's sake, Adam X?
He was going to be a big deal until he wasn't.
Written by the guy who created him.
I think I'd have liked it better if it was a separate spinoff line that splintered from the 90s and the modern era like X-men Forever or some full throw back to fill in gaps like Hidden Years or First Class
>some full throw back to fill in gaps like Hidden Years or First Class
Isn't that literally the point, too?
Nobody but boomer divorced dentists care, krakoa era easily moggs this trite shite
That's awfully specific, does your dentist talk these up whenever you go in or something?
Yeah, he pretty much spouts the exact same complaints morons do hear, but that was prior to the krakoa era, he probably hates them too
>krakoa era easily moggs this trite shite
no it doesn't troony
cope and sneed, clarecuck, Dark Phoenix sucks and single handedly ruined X-Men on all mediums and timelines.
nice try fricking moronic bot npc homosexual, you don't even read comics
cope clarecucks, Krakoachads stay fricking winning, this is probably going to be the most influential era of modern X-Men
>Krakoachads stay fricking winning
how's that axe wound healing up?
you don't read comics do you...well have fun when disney adapts from this era and creates an actually succesful X-Men franchise that won't be destroyed by BLACKED Pheonix'd shit like both timeline of FoX-Men
>Comic sales are the worst they've been in ages but we're winning!
This is convincing me that most of the Krakoa supporters are probably bots
Probably.
Bot spotted
Bot malfunction
I wish we'd get DeFilippis and Weir doing a pre-HoM New X-men mini.
honestly, it sucks I never got why claremont is iconic outside of making some characters that other writers did much more with, I guess he had some good ideas some times
I like them but I also am not the target market for it so its not really nostalgia for me. Evo was the X-men cartoon when I was in pre-K and I didn't read 90s comics till i was a teenager. I like how colorful and fun these are though, modern X-men is okay but these seem a lot more 'Soulful" for lack of a better term. Actually got me to read the original run, at 105 now.
Nice
Giving older writers the chance to write characters from their times as the big shot writers is nice to see. A lot of solid comics.
I'm honestly impressed they were desperate enough to give Chichester a new book, lmao.
Don't forget those Jim Starlin Infinity miniseries from a few years back, that's when they started with all this nostalgia crap.
