   @polotek For sure!

   Lots of great stuff in 2008-2020 too (that's when I quit buying them so I'm sure there's more since and I just don't know it) - it's nice to be able to go back through and cherry-pick out the hits.

   I wish the industry in the US weren't so tightly coupled to monthly sales. I feel like we really miss out on some potentially great stuff because of that financial model.

     There were some amazing things happening during that time in comics. Superman died in DC. Batman got broken by Bane. X-Men Age of Apocalypse happened. Really incredible stories. Not to mention Image comics came out and changed the whole scene. Spawn, Wildcats, Youngblood, Witchblade.

     It was an awesome time to be a comic book geek.

     I just received my collection of comic books from my Mom's house. I collected comics from the late 80s through the 90s. They're like giant boxes of nostalgia.
