Best decade for comics

Started by StiltmanFTW6 pages

I don't blame them for wanking Batman.

He's the only competent "street leveler" they've got... everyone else is trash or hasn't had enough appearances to matter.

Of course, you can say it's their fault other streets don't have enough appearances and you'd be right.

DC never liked gambling much, as evident both in comics and on the big screen. They tend to rely on the world's finest duo too often. Bats and Supes can't solve all of DC's problems for them.

How the **** can they lose as bad as they do if they don't gamble?

The lack of diversity among thier characters is one of the main reasons why Marvel been on top since the 90s.

give me an example of diversity alberta

They were confident that using Wayne and Kent would give them an easy win.

They were wrong of course, but in their minds, they were playing it as safe as possible.

For me, if I have to pick one decade for the each:

Aquaman - 90s
Batman - 80s
Birds of Prey - 00s
Daredevil - 80s
Flash - 00s
Green Lantern - 00s
Hulk - 90s
Superman - 00s
X-Men - 80s

Batman exists in seven separate books doing seven separate jobs simultaneously. How? DC is a strange place. In the same month he'll be in space on one title, a separate reality in another and in Gotham in a third. All released the same month. Terrible world building and continuity

Batman has like 7 or 8 books. Then the rest of DC is the JL7 and their junior versions. So it still amounts to the same shit. Zero ****ing variety. Almost the entirety of DC revolves around the core 7 of one team

Troll harder, seriously... dur

Some of DC's best stories were Vertigo stuff. Beats Marvel equivilents in most cases.

Even something like 90's Starman was very unique, and has legendary status because of it.

Longshot.
‘Nuff said.

The Silver Age. My parents weren't even born during most of it lol.

I agree with Whirly and Dark here tbh.

We tend to romanticize the past. Often, we remember the best arcs of any decade and forget the garbage that came along with it. I don't know that there really is a best decade. I guarantee kids will remember the 2010's fondly once we enter 2030. It only seems "worse" because all the bad stuff is still fresh on our minds. The 10's had some good stories like any other decade, and time will eventually pare the '10s down to its gems as well.

marvel have a wider range of gay characters and characters of other nationalities taking up symbolic mantles in main canon. there are a lot more female solo series in marvel.

1914 in particular really sucked and it was all downhill from there.

Did you not like things like Concrete and the Vertigo stuff. Transmetropolitan etc. The 90's had some good shit as well as the awful stuff.

Obviously there was some decent stuff. Kingdom Come like you mentioned for example. But overall it was a decade with a lot more bad than good.

Didn't really like Transmetropolitan.

The politics were worn on its sleeve. And the anti-dog humor is a real turnoff.

Mid/late 70s to late/early 90s for both DC and Marvel.
Then Image happened and it was, with a few exceptions mostly exxxxtreme crap from all around.
It got better, but not much, around the shift of the millennium.
I'm a sucker for the Bronze Age, I guess.

The late 90s-2010.

When I think about some of my favorite series' and whatnot, that's usually the range.

I don't know why people shit on the 00s, 00-10 was the best era for me
thanks to wildstorm and vertigo of course
