Starting with Fantastic Four #50...and then having that memory tarnished with religious shame. Ouch.
I cannot believe you guys spent multiple minutes bashing Claremont's X-Men, though. Yet another ouch.

Claremont's X-men was just never my cup of tea... I just can't pretend that I like something when I really don't.  That's why I also said, "If you like it, if it's your thing, then more power to ya!"
There's a lot of things on which I can agree with people-- Claremont ain't one of 'em.

Good discussion guys. Of anything he has done Sable is the most personal and closest to capturing the essence of "who" Grell is as a person and writer. Sable stands strong today as being a great classic as it really stands up as a timeless tribute of Grell's skill as writer/artist. I was lucky to spend time talking with Iron Mike at a convention because idiots were walking past and never stopping. Best 30+ minutes ever and walked away with a Warlord and Tarzan print and memories of a unique individual. Grell and jungles are a joyous connection!

I just discovered the podcast is on Spotify. So I'm listening now.

I liked it at the time. But I now find it almost unreadable. His run on Iron Fist is one of the worst written books I've read. |

Michael Fleisher is horribly underrated.

The worst part of these podcasts is that I have to wait 30 days for the next part. I bought the first dozen or so Sable issues. The first few issues were so so but I really liked the origin arc. I like the insights you both had.

Michael Fleisher is horribly underrated. Unlike Chris Claremont's writing, I find myself liking Fleisher's more and more as time goes by. |
