Is the color series any good?

Easily some of the best set of issues by Jeph Loeb. Spider-Man Blue is a powerful read.

>>81358070
Yes

I only read the Daredevil one, but I found it very underwhelming. Probably the worst Daredevil comic I've read, though I haven't read the Shadowland stuff.

I can't believe the entire collection goes for 75 dollars are retail price. Jesus Christ.

Is Cap White any good?

Eh. I'd put it between Yellow/Blue and Gray

What does the color scheme mean? Are they just standalone portraits of those characters or something

Trying to capitalize on Pokemon, though they didn't understand it.

Can't speak for Hulk, but Daredevil and Spider-Man are HAUNTING.

>>81359458
well Spider-Man blue is called that because A) he has blue on his costume and B) the story is about him getting depressed on the anniversary of Gwen's death AKA feeling blue

I haven't even read the others but I imagine it's a similar thing.

Daredevil Yellow was a good way to recap his origin and was interestinf although from memory theh skip all the Stick stuff, Hulk Grey was just loads of Betty angst and was kind of boring in terms of origin recap and Spider-Man Blue was the best one. The end with MJ catches him talking was super feelsy.

I would guess grey is because of the original color scheme of the hulk

All of them retell the early days of the character in question's career, so part of it is a reference to the costume they wore at the time like DD's yellow suit or Hulk's gray skin.

Spider-Man: Blue is a solid, solid read and gets to the core of the character as it was back then (post-marriage, pre-OMD nonsense). Great art, too.

Hulk: Gray is... not very good, outside of the art, and I say this as a Hulk fan. Loeb goes through a lot of story logic gymnastics to maintain this idea that the Hulk is innocent and cannot be held personally accountable in any philosophical or legalistic sense. The way Loeb establishes this is about as contrived a storytelling device as you'll see in a modern superhero comic, although I suppose if it was Loeb's goal to hark back to the comics of the Silver Age, than I guess he succeeds. It introduces a huge tonal dissonance, though.

I haven't read Daredevil: Yellow, although the reviews I've read range mostly from "meh" to "decent."

Anyway, my advice is to get Spider-Man: Blue. The decision to read the others will have to depend on how much you like Tim Sale's art.

Nostalgia wank with good art.
