Funny, I thought you'd told me you'd read Jim Lee's run on Fantastic Four, which was one of the Heroes Reborn titles.

PhoenixRising

Nope, I wasn't reading any comics after 1993. I sometimes read them at the book store, but I wasn't buying them anymore. And I didn't know Jim was doing FF. I saw his stuff for Batman, like Hush.

sum1

Hush is a Buffy episode.

PhoenixRising

I know. It's also a Jim Lee-drawn and Jeph Loeb-written Batman comic.

sum1

The Spider Man Clone saga was after 1993 and you read that.

PhoenixRising

Yeah, and I only read that by browsing comics at the book store. But I didn't buy any of them. That storyline actually made me angry.

sum1

So I gathered.

PhoenixRising

I think it pissed off everyone. But at least it turned out to be a big fake out, kind of like Superior Spider-Man.

sum1

It wasn't a fake out, They actually intended for Ben Reilly to be the real Peter Parker. They just changed their minds because it was unpopular.

PhoenixRising

Are you sure? I'm glad they didn't because that would've sucked. And I'm sure that no matter what they probably would've retconned that anyway.

I'm going to bed now, sum1, so I'll talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight and sleep well!

sum1

Yeah, I'm sure.

PhoenixRising

Wow, I can't believe that Marvel would've even thought of doing that. But again, they probably would've retconned that anyway. Brand New Day and all that, you know?

sum1

They did some pretty desperate things back hen.

PhoenixRising

When, in the 90's? I think Marvel's bankruptcy might've had something to do with it. The 70's and 80's comics were the best.

sum1

It wasn't just the bankruptcy. Marvel did some desperate things both before and after their bankruptcy. Like taking out Wolverine's damantium (1993) and regressing him into an ape-man (1995), years before they went bankrupt. But there were some great things in the '90s too. Comics got more intense and forceful that decade.
