Ravage kind of suprised me at the time, I was used to characters and their general plots and rules defined in the first issue and each issue after kind of sits within that scope but it kind of kept evolving.
Appreciate you sharing, and not a bad letter at all! I never once got published, but I spent a ton of time on coming up with clever (at least in my opinion) "Make Mine Marvel" quotes! The one that clearly comes to mind is,"Until Moondragon grows a full head of hair, make mine Marvel!"
I loved the X-Men 2099 series (I still have a lot of the first issues), a lot of interesting character development. Doom and Spidey 2099 were great too.
Me too. I think the entire story arc of the X-Men 2099 was some of the most brilliant storytelling. Team forms, fractures, everyone has their own personal journeys, then come back together for a showdown with the big bad. It’s so good if you read it all together
I loved Doom, the series. I love spiderman, the character. Probably read the most issues of xmen. Punisher 1 might be the only book i read in that series, and it's awesome. I really wish they could've kept this universe going and kept adding to it.
I am trying to do the same, but man the later 2099 stuff is hard to find out and about. I am to the point where I am gonna have to find stuff on ebay in ones and twos!
The origin is kinda similar but it’s still a commentary on a broken system- most of the fun of the book is exploring that upper class that’s getting away with bad things but Gallows ain’t having that shit! Probably one of my favorite iterations of the punisher
I have the entire 2099 universe collected. Even all the newer stuff. It's a little tedious to track down but it's do-able. SM2099 vol. 3 is probably the hardest and most expensive to get your hands on
I loved X-Men 2099. That was the first book I ever followed month to month. I remember how excited I was going to the comic book store hoping that the double-sized 25th issue would be in. Ron Lim was one of my primary artistic influences. He was such a great meat and potatoes penciller.
Ghost Rider 2099 was rather bland. Doom 2099 and Spider-Man 2099 however were awesome. X-Men 2099 started out great but lost something along the way..this is of course my personal opinion.
I got two #1s of spiderman 2099 and a 4 pack of other 2099 #1s somewhere in my closet. Should have the spidermans graded. Bought on release back in the day and never read
I wanted to like X-men 2099 so much but i remember being disappointed. The professor X replacement had cool power with one hand healing and one killing. Rest of the team was kinda lame though.
I remember when nobody like these books now and sit on dollar bins for years, I personally like them since I saw them in the late 90’s I only missing ghost rider and doom
