How is the original WildC.A.T.S. series? Did it really deserve an absolute edition?
>>153064430I'm going to read this eventually. I've heard good things about Joe Casey's runs. I also want to see how it holds up compared to X-Men.
>>153064430The first twelve issues are essentially just store brand X-Men. When James Robinson takes over as writer the quality shoots up but focuses less on the WildCATs and more on the Black Razors. Alan Moore takes over around issue 20 and writes twelve issues that changes the book into something completely different and really should be mentioned in the same breath when talking about Moore's output as his Supreme run, it's excellent. After Moore leaves the book languishes till it gets relaunched after issue 50 with Scott Lobdell and Travis Charest. The writing is meh but Charest's art is well worth the price of admission buuuuuut Charest can't keep a schedule to save his life so out of the first six issues he was supposed to draw he only fully drew the first two and had fill in art on the other four. After that Joe Casey takes over, a lot of people like his run but I hated it when it was coming out because I was 12 and wanted to see hot bitches fighting aliens not corporate intrigue.
>>153064430jim lee runs the company and signed contract that makes them print it so he gets more shekels. its garbage derivative trash.
I like Grifter….
>>153064430it's nostalgia. I'm reading Youngblood for the first time and I'm surprisingly enjoying it. It was ahead of its time in a few things and reads like a dumb teenager action comic. I assume WildCATS is okay too, seeing as how I liked the cartoon. I'm not expecting more than huge splash pages, yelling, hot babes, guns and demonites.
>>153065061>its garbage derivative trash>t. average /co/ YouTube watcher
>>153065061Jim Lee seems to have zero attachment to it whatsoever.
Did you guys every watch the show?>>153065080Grifter was based and kino.
>>153065273Jim Lee was always more a business guy than a creative guy. He took the most convincing to join the Image and seemed more interesting in branching out to other things than making comics. He tried to buy Marvel during the Heroes Reborn era and when that fell thru he sold to DC and worked his way up the chain there
How is the original CyberForce & how does it compare?Was TopCow a outgrowth or subset of Image? How did TopCow get the rights to CyberForce if the team was originally published by Image?
>>153065560Creator's Rights (but only if you were a founding member, otherwise they'll steal your character you made for their comics and claim it's fair)
>>153065560Cyberforce rights were always owned by Silvestri. Top Cow has always been one of the studios that make up Image. Top Cow is Silvestri's studio.
>>153064430It was alright. It was certainly one of the better original line ups anyways,
>>153065560Image is an umbrella for the creators' studios. Image only owns the Image I logo, everything else is owned by the various creator's studios
>>153065579Yeah yeah we know Neil, Spawn on a Horse was a wholly original character that only someone as brilliant as you could've come up with
A lot of the original line up was bizarre. It was either something completely derivative or the books took forever and a day to come out.
