April 24, 2012 9:35 pm okay, time for my two penneth. l have been reading comics since i was about nine (started with Superman). didnt know or recognise marvel. introduced soon after by a friend and was hooked. i have been privileged to have held and read some fine books. there has been a lot of years of collecting paused briefly by work and girls (in whichever order). the thing that drew me back (no pun intended) was coming across a shop while on holiday with a rack but, the owners daughter was a fan and had a large back issue stock in back. after being given carte blanche to look thru these i ended up spending a small fortune buying up. what started me back........? the impact of art by luminaries such as John Byrne (i was already a fan of Neals via his X-men, Thor, Avengers and all his dc work. in the last five or more years i have given up on all titles as for me there are practically NO top flight artists in Marvel, i say practically....there are a few. my distaste is that such artists of the calibre of Byrne etc are cast aside after sterling work lifting titles like the F4 , X-men (superb from 108 on) his Avengers run which is what brought me back to comics initially. strange art from newcomers which i feel haas made characters i have loved seem totally alien to me now. i know there are fans out there of different artists and their styles but....such as Aldred to me does not seem to be suited to these characters, again only my opinion but, its these type of things that has driven me away from comics i would eagerly await for delivery day and take home roughly 30-40 comics and devour (both companies with a few others in the mix). sad but no more as about 40 years of love for the medium has been ruined for me by M and DC due to poor art. good god, that took some getting out.
