The extreme 90s had soul
When it worked it was awesome.

>>152161462>>152161528A lot of the gritty shit happened in the 80s while the 90s extremeness just kinda amped it up and added a bit of irony/light-hearted or tongue in cheek humor.This drove some batshit insane that comics weren't taken seriously a or these elements were just indulgent fun. But y'know, at least most of the time it didn't completely wreck characters into becoming boring slogs. Sure some of the books were boring slogs during it but that was just a case of artists becoming writers or writers getting forced by companies.

>>152161462I've said it before, but whatever you want to say about the 90s, whatever you want to say about Image, Marvel, DC, about Liefeld, whatever else, there was one thing the 90s were doing. They were TRYING to be cool. Did they always succeed? Hell no. But they TRIED. All the spikes, all the guns, robot arms, pouches, all the splash pages. They were TRYING to be cool. The objective was LET'S MAKE THE RADDIST SHIT EVER! There was no irony. There was no deconstruction. There was comics. And they wanted to be comics. They weren't pitching a TV show. The 90s loved comics. And that matters.
