Its crazy to think that we've finally slipped into the era where the 90's are nostaglic. Its welcomed ofcourse but I never thought I'd see the day.

@juniorjames7076 Год назад

For me, in many ways the '90s comics industry reflected the movie industry in that finally, small independent publishers and foreign published graphic novels took over and dominated the art form. I started collecting Marvel and DC while in grade school in the mid 1980s, by the early 1990s I was exclusively buying independents from comic shops and exclusively watching art house and foreign films. My favorite comic from this era is Joe Matt's The Poor Bastard.

@DonTheMoron716 Год назад

Some of the best comics are from the 1990s. All of the indies were pretty fucking great! Hate, Eightball, Stray Bullets, Black Hole, Optic Nerve, ACME Novelty Library, etc. Image is part to blame. Like it or not! Mainstream creators doing their own shit inspired other artists.

@OM19_MO79 Год назад

I wish! Because of the AVGN-driven RU-vid generation, just like it was in the 90s with the 70s, anything that’s not the 80s is wrong, so there cannot be nostalgia for the 90s, 2000s or 2010s, it’s wrong. By the time all 80s lovers are gone, anyone who could feel nostalgia for the “wrong decades” will also be gone. Maybe the 2020s will be the next nostalgia...

These are deep cuts though, there’s a lot of, uh, “not great” comics from that era.

@chrisw6164 Год назад

Astro City is a comic series for people who grew up on superhero comic books and the world they live in. Everything about it is a smart examination of all this crazy superhero stuff we all love, and it touches on all eras while being a sophisticated, modern story. Everything in it will be familiar to you if you’re a superhero fan, without coming across as “memberberries”. Hugely recommended.

@DonTheMoron716 Год назад

It’s very good. Underrated, for sure. Back then it had some critical praise. Brent Anderson’s work is pretty exemplary. Not a very well known artist but he draws his balls off. God Loves, Man Kills.

@GuessWho7197 Год назад

I remember after reading Alan Moore's Superman stories "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" and "For the Man who has Everything" I was left with this sense of disappointment. Not with either story, but from realizing that both were now in my top three favorite Superman comics and that was all Moore ever had or ever would write for the character. Then I discovered Supreme thanks to one of your videos. I just want to thank you again for introducing me to the Alan Moore Superman run I never thought we'd get.

@StrangeBrainParts Год назад

That's exactly how I felt...Moore had some great Superman stories in him that he never got the chance to tell. Until Supreme. And then we got the Superman story he never got to tell at DC.

@marcelo-ramos Год назад

Those Superman stories never really made it for me. I think they're good, but I don't get why they are universally loved, other than being Alan Moore creations. I do really want to read Supreme though. I'm hoping for a DC Compendium (or even better, an Omnibus) like they did for Top Ten and Tom Strong.

@kforcer Год назад

I thought Liefeld's Supreme was a great character; I loved how he was essentially the villain of his own comic. It was cool to see his interactions with Thor, who was basically the hero but didn't have a hero's luck.

@jakepalermo9181 Год назад

I am finding out a lot more about Steve Gerber on this channel than I ever did looking through a library or Wikipedia. Looking forward to that Foolkiller retrospective.

@StrangeBrainParts Год назад

I have to get back to it, that's for sure. I just want to do Gerber's memory justice.

@tripdefect87 Год назад

Gerber was an incredibly unique voice and I miss him not only because he's one of my favorite comic book authors, but because I would be very curious to see what he'd have to say about today's world. I discovered his Howard The Duck in my teens and read and re-read it constantly and even as an adult, it's still incredibly funny and fresh as it ever was. Man-Thing even more so (though less funny and more surreal)

@chrisw6164 Год назад

He’s 100% right about Foolkoller being overshadowed by the McFarlane Spider-Man launch. I was there in the comic shop every week back then and I completely forgot a Foolkiller series existed, much less that it came out the same week lol

@toddklein77 Год назад

i think the ongoing “books of magic” is a much underrated run. and let’s not forget “Strangers in Paradise”.

@Samhain23 Год назад

I should point out that the people who came out against Ellis explicitly stated that they were not trying to "cancel" him. I went through a lot of the accusations and, although he seems to be a pretty shitty dude, and definitely not someone I would ever get romantically involved with, he didn't seem to be accused of coercion or assault. I didn't read every single entry though (there are a whole lot lol) so I suggest you look into it yourself. He has talked about making amends with the women involved, and apparently there has been some kind of process and work done on that. Of course, that doesn't mean anyone has to like him or give him an opportunity or talk about him, but I also feel that this is an instance where he hasn't done something so grotesquely reprehensible that it overshadows his work and impact on the industry. Your mileage may vary on that, though.

@DonTheMoron716 Год назад

Plenty of men womanize! Are they all cancelled? Silly.

@trevorjones4854 6 месяцев назад

Those are all fine suggestions. I can't believe I forgot Madman. Wow. That is a good call.

@nihilance Год назад

Definitely cover Planetary and Ellis in general. Also I'd be curious about your thoughts on Milligan's Human Target.

@KitchenSinkSoup Год назад

Love Shade The Changing Man, alongside Enigma. Milligan is often either excellent or awful, with very little in between in my experience, but those two titles, and a lot of his 80s and 90s output, is up there as excellent for me.

@VuotoPneumaNN Год назад

What about: -All of Dan Clowes’ Eightball stuff -Transmetropolitan (yeah… Ellis again… I know) -Al Columbia’s The Biologic Show -Coleen Doran’s A Distant Soil …The Sandman? Too obvious? Also a ton of Manga (Ichi The Killer, Battle Angel Alita, Berserk, Monster…) and some european stuff (first that comes to mind is Enki Bilal’s Froid Equateur)

@robertopulitano8093 Год назад

Excellent video, as always. I will check out this recommendation, for sure. Regarding the Planetary: we all know that a comic book is not just its script. With a lesser artist, Planetary would have been cancelled after its second issue. So not talking about it because of Ellis' misdeeds would be a disservice to Cassaday and Laura Martin's extraordinary work. Keep up the good work!

@StrangeBrainParts Год назад

I am definitely taking into account Cassaday and DePuy's lovely contributions. After all, 50% of any comic book is the artwork.

@robertopulitano8093 Год назад

@@StrangeBrainParts there is a 3-hour long League of Extraordinary Gentlemen video essay on RU-vid that is very good and well research but the guy making the video completely negates Kevin O’Neil’s contributions to the comic. He talks about LoEG as if Alan Moore was the only one responsable for the twist and turns of the story. When we all know that Alan Moore is Alan Moore because he associates himself with the best collaborator for any project. So, yeah, a comic book is not just it’s shitty writer. Except Mark Millar stuff, he sucks

That LoEG vid is great, but you’re right. Kevin’s art is stunning. The pages of Griffin ‘acquiring’ the policeman uniform alone deserves a dedicated vid.

Honestly, starman is probably my personal favorite book of the era. I think a lot of DC books of the late 90s didn't get the kind of love they should have, and there are a ton of hidden gems in that era. I'd definitely add the 1997 Resurrection man to the list.

The other books from that era that Im re-collecting is Milestones Xombi the Korean nanotechnology hero infused with lots of very surreal characters and Ted McKeever stuff, who I love for the his art but he also wrote some great books.. thanks.

@howlermouse Год назад

I'm sure my comment is a little late but.......I think it's very important to do videos on the works of "cancelled" creators. Separating the art from the artist helps to keep art alive. Especially with Planetary. Planetary isn't just about archeologist of the unknown with a mystery but explores the archeological history of comics : where they came from and where they may be going. Years ago, I started a series of videos that were issue by issue dives of Planetary. Not a lot of views but highly informative for the comic historians out there. I have zero regrets.

Great video man. I know it’s a cliche to mock all the dumb stuff of 90s comics in the mainstream but like every medium with down periods, there will always be good stories. As for Warren Ellis, I say do it but have a disclaimer in the start saying that you don’t excuse or endorse any of his actions.

@superquad7 Год назад

I think you should review Warren Ellis' work despite what cancel culture says, for better or for worse. Art has a life of its own detached from it's creator and can stand on its own merit. I think if you add a disclaimer with something like, "this is an analysis of the work itself and does not support or condone the actions of its creator," the message would be conveyed. Having said that, is it really necessary to even do that? There are a ton of books and other media that I access/enjoy that I may not wish to support what the creators of it do. In other words, if I only supported creators that agreed with me on everything or even lived their lives in the "right" ways, I probably would rarely access media were that the case.

@StrangeBrainParts Год назад

These are all very good points. After all, as someone else brought up, I have extensively covered Cerebus and included disclaimers. So, including something at the beginning should indicate that I'm discussing the work, not the person or the controversy.

Thanks you for another great video :) As someone who dropped off full-scale collecting in the 90s, interested to see what made the cut: I kept up with Morrison and Moore, but am now persuaded to follow up on a couple of others (Stray Bullets, to my shame). From a Brit perspective, Judge Dredd Megazine (there are enough analyses of 'America' in the world, don't worry), Revolver, and (the end of) Deadline stand out. In a pretty thin decade, 2000AD has Button Man and Nikolai Dante, at least. The Summer Invasion looks more and more laughable with distance. For the US, a shout out to the Penguin Raws - all three of them. And MAUS got finished.

@RarebitFiends Год назад

Bone is one of my favorite comic book stories of all time. It's a great ride from start to finish! What I like most about Bone is how ACCESSIBLE it is. Anyone of any age can pick it up and enjoy it. Also, even though the cousins have such cartoony designs and even though there's a lot of humor (mostly involving Phony's get-rich-quick scheme antics), the story takes itself very seriously when it starts becoming a hero's journey/epic fantasy story. A good example are the Rat Creatures. The first two that we're introduced to are a comedy duo like Abbot & Costello that can't catch one Bone cousin, but when ever they're shown in large groups, they're TERRIFYING and can take on armies.

@jimgillespie6109 Год назад

One of my favorite graphics novels comes from the '90s. Solar: Man of the Atom "Alpha and Omega." I'm not sure it plumbs the depths of the human experience, gives any insight into modern day society, or any high-falutin' stuff like that, but it's a solid science fiction tale that is basically the first half of a super-hero origin. (Consider how the story ends, it doesn't seem as if there could be a second half!) Jim Shooter is the writer and Barry Windsor-Smith is the artist.

Some of the other things I remember from the 90s include the Alan Moore and bill sienkiewicz's Big Numbers and the story behind it's abrupt disappearance likely never to complete like 1963. Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's From Hell was another standout for me from the 90s. I loved that it had detailed annotations. Campbell's Bacchus series that began in the late 80s but continued through the 90s is an overlooked gem. Also the rise of slice of life comics like Chester Brown, Seth, Joe Matt, Julie Doucet's Dirty Plotte, and Brubaker's lowlife was also an interesting phenomenon of the 90s with underground roots. I agree that Flex Mentallo was Morrison's best work. The series I connected with the most in the 90s was Starman. I could relate to Jack Knight's character in so many ways and still do after all these years especially with his relationships with his brother and his dad. I was going through dealing with my dad's terminal cancer at the same time as Jack when the series ended 20 years ago.

True, true. But mixtapes were still a thing. That's kind of what I was going for. Any future video will be CDs for sure.

Have you ever considered doing a video on milestone media? It's another underrated comics imprint of the 90s

@alfredolopez9642 Год назад

Another comprehensive list of great comic book works from my favourite comic book oriented channel. Many of these I've already read (and will do so again many more times), some of them I haven't but shall rectify that ASAP and a few of them I've never heard of but you totally sold me on them. Thanks for your great work, Overlord. Until next time. ✌🏻

@lazer-ape Год назад

Would you consider covering Marvel 2099 and John Byrne's "2112" ? I just started revisiting Ghost Rider 2099 and it feels surprisingly relevant considering the cyberpunk dystopia sitting just on the horizon

@StrangeBrainParts Год назад

Yes, to both. I have 2112/New Men on-hand but I've just not found the time to read the whole thing. And...it's been a hot minute since I last read it.

@lazer-ape Год назад

@@StrangeBrainParts I put together a Next Men collection a few months before the pandemic first hit. I read through it all and was surprised by how much of it seemed to inspire the ultimate X-men. For my money though I wish Byrne had wrapped up Danger Unlimited as Ive always been more partial to the Fantastic Four formula than the X-men. Incase you're open to any further suggestions I think Earth X and Kingdom Come are deserving of discussion. It seems like most have forgotten both titles in recent years and the nihilistic scope of both books happen to feel somewhat familiar in these trying times. I also think its just worth covering them in the same video due to their shared subject matters.

Do Planetary. It's the most perfect love letter to comics and pulps

@richmcgee434 Год назад

I'd add the nearly-forgotten DC superhero parody series Major Bummer to that list. It's not deep, it didn't last long, and it has some godawful puns and wordplay - but it was pretty consistently funny and never got mean-spirited the way many parodies and deconstructions of supers tropes do. A real bright point in a decade that was trying way too hard to edgy far too much of the time. Lovely artwork, too.

@TheGeekyAmreeki Год назад

@juliiju0484 Год назад

I really have a long to-do list of comics, but I think the apt one for me right now would be Astro City. My only question is, is it necessary to read it in order? or the interconnected tales can be read in any way?

@markshulusky6680 Год назад

Please do the Steve Gerber retrospective. I can never hear too much or learn enough about this writer and his work.

@jseger9000 Год назад

I have a real soft spot for the Ostrander/Mandrake Spectre series from the '90's. I had long ago given up superhero comics. But somehow that Spectre series managed to be part of the DC Universe, which meant getting pulled into stupid events, yet still stood on its own with a consistent creative team that told thoughtful stories. If you can, read the first twelve issues which tell a complete story and see what you think.

@metalmonkey0026 Год назад

I think Grant Morrissons' run on JLA is worth mentioning as well.

@richmcgee434 Год назад

The whole DC One Million thing was kind of noteworthy too, and felt very much like it spun out of the success of Morrisson's JLA. And I say that as someone who generally hates big "event" comics.

@stupendoushorrendous8258 6 месяцев назад

In my opinion, the color editions of Bone add a depth and texture to the art that was sorely lacking in black and white. I grew up with color, and later purchased a B&W omnibus without knowing the history of the comic. I thought they had decolored the pages, similar to Marvel Essentials. I was shocked to learn eventually that they had originally looked like that, because it was so lifeless.

@MrChristopherMolloy Год назад

Please do Planetary.

@StrangeBrainParts Год назад

The poll I posted is heavily going in that direction. So, it looks like one is imminent.

@MrChristopherMolloy Год назад

I have no idea what the controversy surrounding Ellis is, and since "cancelled" was mentioned, I'm instinctively defaulting to Free Speech. Planetary was a great work and it should stand in its own, irrespective of the Moral-Outage Du Jour 😷

@lizardart99 Год назад

@@MrChristopherMolloy I'm pretty sure what happened to Warren Ellis was some sexual misconduct stuff. I'm pretty sure it became a pretty documented thing from the women he's assaulted. The only Ellis work ive read was his 6 issue run on Moon Knight. I really enjoyed it and I'm sure he's a fine writer. I don't really have much else of an opinion of him outside of what little i know about him.

@MrChristopherMolloy Год назад

@@lizardart99 Thanks for that information. In a perfect world we wouldn't need to compartmentalize; but without compartmentalization, what would literature, art & music be like? I'm pretty sure a Planetary retrospective won't put an extra nickel in Mr. Ellis's pocket...I think?

@ryanleite8497 Год назад

Great video as always, been reading some of your suggestions from the 80's video over the past week and will certainly put some of these in my backlog. Top notch content as always. My only suggestion is that if you eventually talk about Ellis's works again, that you try to put more emphasis on what he did to be "cancelled", the word has lost a lot of its meaning these days and some people might think it was unjustified or he didn't deserve it, when in reality, he very much did. Anyways great video, always looking foward for your next topics.

@troycruikshank1027 Год назад

I have loved the Maxx since the 90's. I even bought it again when it was put out again. Sam Keith just gave me something that I had never seen before. Art like nothing else that was popular at the time. And a really weird story about a super hero. At least I thought Maxx was a super hero at the time. I hated the Jim Lee style that everything was doing at the time. Sam Keith art looked epic. And even smelly at times. It was so cool. I needed moore! (Get it)

@DonTheMoron716 Год назад

You know the cool thing about the Maxx? Both mainstream and indie fans like it. Sam Keith is a great artist.
