If you had looked at the writer instead of just randomly reading anything based on premise or characters, this would happen a lot less to you.
>>87099875You say that, but the original Uncanny X-Men is shit despite being a Lee/Kirby book.
>>87099978
Lee is a great idea man but a shit writer.
>>87099978
Yeah. I think it's Lee and Kirby both at their worst. Even the whole idea of mutants is phoned in because Lee got tired of coming up with origins. And Kirby clearly didn't get anything out of it like he did with something like Journey into Mystery.

>a lot less to you.
I didn't say it'd never happen to you.

I think X-Men was just the final straw in terms of his work load. I mean between full pencils and layouts he was working on like 6 comics at once.
That said the Juggernaut and Sentinel issues of the Silver Age X-Men are pretty good
>>87100243
He's a pretty good writer, he's just bad at dialogue and makes some bad calls at times. That's why pretty much all his comics aside from ASM and FF are better skimmed than read.

>First issue is a halfassed FF clone.
>Most issues have lengthy "team fights itself" sections which cram villain into last third of the book.
i guess i'm the only who enjoys cheesy and silly old comics books honestly i am more entertain by them than modern comics
>>87100352
They're pretty much the only good issues.
Otherwise we're talking about shit like The Vanisher.
>>87100468
Yeah, I mean there's some really fantastic goofy shit with Magneto like him using metal to write in the sky in cursive or his " magnetic personality" allowing him to control Angel's parents
>>87100452
There's like a dozen great, goofy silver age Marvel books.
X-Men is not one of them.
>>87100515
Or magneto being able to psionically stalk namor and professor X astral projects there too
They just made up powers all the time, it's pretty campy goofy cartoony shit.
