In terms of Marvel, the early 90's still had some good stuff. I did enjoy the Claremont/Lee era on X-Men, even though the X-Men by that point had long since jumped the shark. My two favorite series of the early 90's were Peter David's continuing Incredible Hulk run and the first 50 issues or so of Silver Surfer started by Steve Englehart and Marshal Rogers and continuing with Ron Lim and Jim Starlin. Another series I enjoyed was the Larry Hama and Marc Silvestri run on Wolverine.
It got really dire around 1993 and didn't get good again until Heroes Return in 1998, headlined by Busiek and Perez on Avengers. I loved the creative teams on all the relaunched books, but was disappointed that Alan Davis only did three issues of FF. Dan Jurgan's first 25 issues of Thor with Romita Jr. was great, but I lost interest soon after Romita left since it appeared to me that Jurgan's really wanted to write Superman.

Dan Jurgan's first 25 issues of Thor with Romita Jr. was great, but I lost interest soon after Romita left since it appeared to me that Jurgan's really wanted to write Superman. I stuck with it a little bit longer, but not through the whole run. I think I stopped somewhere in the late #30's. Was just superpowering Thor up too much? Or was it something in the characterization of Thor? I have like zero knowledge of Superman. I also enjoyed that bit of Wolverine, but I really like Silvestri's art a lot. Really I enjoyed more or less the first 100 issues of Wolverine or so. I have more issues past that and they're not in the 90's, but some of the best stories are in those first 100 issues for me. Silver Surfer I started with Starlin and Lim and read that to the current that it was at the time, and then went back and read Englehart and Rogers run. I like them both, and they are both very different in their story telling. A lot like the big difference in Lee's to Englehart's and Starlin's. It's not in the 90's but on the subject of Silver Surfer I enjoyed Requiem (2007) a lot and the 2003 series with the Communion alien abduction style usage of Surfer. |
