Re: Batman Begins
*sniff*
kindred spirits. i thought i was all that was left. BTW. Love JSA & JLA. Hate the Firestorm transformation. Who killed Sue Dibny? I heard Spidey was going to be a member... now i have to actually find the issues. Also I'd like issues 2,3 & 4 of JLA/Avengers. Can't seem to find it locally. Am I the only one that thinks the Legion was the greates group ever. LSH in the 80's was my favorite. 2nd greatest... The Defenders.

Re: Batman Begins
Giant sized annuals... Defenders vs Squandron Sinister. Nitehawk, Hyperion, Dr. Prism.
Valkyre, Hulk, Namor and Dr. Strange. Loved the Defenders... Always thought they could've kicked the crap out of every other team Marvel had at the time.

I was buying The Defenders back in the 80's as well. Really good book and Nighthawk was one of my favorite characters at the time, but I finally got sick of the cruddy art and dumped it when it was at peak value. Was also a big fan of Squadron Supreme back then. Mark Gruenwald's 12-issue mini-series was a real achievement for a time driven by short-attention-span 4-issue mini-series. If you can find the first print (I believe it was the first print) of that trade paperback you'll have a piece of Gruenwald...litterally. His ashes were mixed in with the ink used to print it. No lie. Really happened. And I bought, digested, and revelled in anything done by Frank Miller. Daredevil, Dark Knight, etc. If his hand touched it, I bought it. He was that good. Walt Simonson's Thor was just brilliant. So was Bill Sienkiewicz' Moon Knight and his run on New Mutants is, IMHO, unbelievably undervalued. And if there was ever a better run in comics than Chris Claremont and John Byrne's Uncanny X-Men from #108 to #142, I've yet to see it.

Re: Batman Begins
Ah that was an excellent time in X history. Nearly 40 issues leading up to Dark Phoenix.
I loved Marvel's homage to LSH with the Imperial Guard. I read Millers Dark Knight around 5 time a year. Have you read Origin yet? the origin of Wolverine is fantastic. the art is great, as is the story. Just a great job on the untellable story.

Re: Batman Begins
would the spidey/kraven miniseries make a good movie, or would there not be enough "action"?

X23 (the young female clone of Wolvie) who recently showed up in Uncanny X-Men wears a costume identical to the one Wolverine stole from Fang in Uncanny #107. And yeah. I've read Origin. I missed the boat on #1 when it was released, but ended up getting a complete NM/MT set for $12.00 last year. Go figure.  And I read Dark Knight often too- my beaten up trade paperback that is. My NM/MT first prints are carefully positioned among my collection. Have you read Kingdom Come yet? If you haven't, that's an immediate purchase you NEED to make. "Marvels" too. Alex Ross is pure genius.

Re: Batman Begins
Loved Kingdome Come, and the follow up The Kingdom. I think the artwork makes it more than the story itself on both projects.
Dark times ahead for the man of steel. In fact Both Marvel and DC seem to be transitioning to future versions of their flagship icons. Spidey keeps getting glimpses into a dark future for himself as well.
