I always found Batman so much easier to get into for a new reader, when getting into Superman with this whole story arch, I wasn't really a fan and never have been of Superman but picked it up because of the hype and hoping for the potential of making money off of them. I still have 3 bagged issues of 75 and 3 of 500. I never read Superman before and stopped soon as he returned with that stupid mullet. <br /><br />500 was a disappointment, I didn't care about Jonathan, I wanted something I got with my Marvel books . . . . action and superheroes, this was just . . . boring. <br /><br />I instantly liked Robotic and Kid Superman, didn't care for Eradicator and Steel was terrible in my eyes. It was obvious he wasn't Superman so don't feed me that crap, I'm not stupid and the art, oh the art, so terrible. <br /><br />Dan J. really was DC's best artist consistently working on a main book at the time, every other DC book just looked terrible and bland when compared to Marvel at the time. Trying to look at a DC book when you were used to looking at an X book was just so off putting. While I enjoy DC books of that era now as an adult and can appreciate it a lot more, as a teen, I found it terrible and one of the top reasons I read Marvel and stayed away from DC.<br /><br />I actually like Batman, Flash and Green Lantern more than just about any Marvel character but never felt they had the art of feel I wanted. Batman actually worked okay for me but Flash and GL just felt like the art and characters were so cardboard. I know Flash of that era is now loved and it's on my eventually to read list, but at that time, Blah.Scott Churchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795112175606617848noreply@blogger.com
