Jean Giraud, a.k.a. Moebius, his series called 'Lieutenant Blueberry' shows his development as a comic artist beautifully. I had my mom on the phone once when she told me she read one of my comic books and found it very 'disconcerting'. I immediately knew she'd picked 'The walls of Samaris' by Schuiten & Peeters. An absolute must read. I have soooo many of these comics.....😁

Another interesting archetype I’ve noticed is this the Apocalypse Maiden: - Often female - Underestimated reserved and empathetic - Mentally/emotionally troubled - Powers are metaphysical and connected to her emotions - She eventually becomes extremely powerful and unstable, forcing her former team members to consider what to do with her. Examples: Phoenix/Jean Grey, Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff, Raven, White Violin/Vanya Hargreeves

I had only enough time to watch from about 14:10 through to the end (and also look up each limited series that interested me). This is an EXCELLENT video. It is difficult for me to find lists of quality limited series (which is my preferred kind), so this video is a huge help. Listing the Top 10 in the description is smart. A number of the series listed in the video I had not seen before. The cover image at 16:57 (for Imposter) is not correct, but the text was good enough for me to find it online. Thank you!! I look forward to watching earlier parts of the video.

@@richardkujo Not really. If anything, he undid much of Simonson’s work. DeFalco lacks any style or creativity. So he had to give Thor a secret identity again, even though it didn’t make sense anymore, just so he could write more traditional superhero stories with the good guy punching the bad guy.

... I am actually disappointed they changed the original character design for hell boy in hell boy three let alone again in 4 to even lower quality... Hell boy 3 wouldn't have been a failure of they kept the same character design it was a good plot kinda and an original marvel design they should have not went with this cheesy plot and went with a multiverse with his other self like spider man .. or put him on the hunt for someone cool like spawn or frank castle .. or ghost rider ... Another good one would have been multiverse war with Khang .. hell boy fails to stop samiel in hell boy #1 then uses the golden army from #2 to fight them while the followers of the witch convince them that freeing the queen and hell boy taking the sword to gain power is the only way to defeat samiel when really it would doom the world and in a odd twist of fate the hero is actually Khang who is still master of reality and the flow of time ... And can't lose the world to hell boy and defeats him and resets time again .. possible hell boy could be working with the avengers while the planet is under attack and then after being tricked into gaining so much power and losing himself kills the avenger even to be defeated by Khang ... Sounds way better then this and would highlight both Khang and hells boys true powers .. and could even throw in the other darker charters like spawn castle and ghost rider with the avengers and the golden army .. my bad I didn't realize spawn and hell boy were not marvel owned characters but still they could get cool spin off movies if they worked together with ghost ride or castle or each other .. spawn and hell boy they would all make excellent team mates together.. all immune to the pendant gaze and hell broken charters .. if only dark horse could buy out ghost rider and castle and spawn .. they would be the greatest team of anti heros ever .... Ever .. with three being from hell itself and castle has killed everyone in the avengers .. but yet never makes an appearance. and ghost rider in alternative time line has the time stone and brings thanos to thanos lol 😅 .. they really haven't done much with ghost or castle .. being both cancelled on Netflix and by Disney .. maybe to come back .. punisher was good .. but rider tanked but .. maybe rider will get a new movie idk .. to much logistics for me lol I like all the charters and always wanted to see them together.. always wondered why I didn't I guess now I know ... 😢 If only would be a cool fan made anime collaboration. All the forces of hell with the avengers fighting to save the world to unleashed hell by accident only to be saved by a variant of Khang in a .. different multiverse where hell boy and spawn and ghost rider all exist all created threw spawns layers of hell and each rider spawn and hell boy come from different lvs of hell created by different hell lords of spawns dimension... That they all exist in as well as the multi verse.. with the hell boy spawn and rider being able to travel multiversal hells ... Being alioth like singular entities in the the universe John Constantine as well maybe with Lucifer perhaps... Idk how unless both marvel and hell boy realitys existed in the same multiverse with Khang already and some how when hell boy uses the sword unleashed hell and allows other multiversal hell singularitys to be brought to the hell unleashed .. where the have to fight with Khang to defeat hell boy and reset time and restore it to hell boy beating up monsters everyone else don't think exist still .. in a marvel universe.. where castle existed in every universe joins the FBI and hell boy in their version of earth and other hell entities can now openly travel to hell boys universe or he can travel to theirs to aid each other in the multiversal battle for heaven and hell .. with the avengers actually leaving a good Khang in control of their universe with out alioth but with hell boy as his entitie as their was only one Loki variant they never had one and their thanos defeated by Khang welding the time stone rather then strange in their universe thanos never gets it and dies to Khang saving the world twice he is noted as the most powerful avenger in his time due to his fight with hell boy with the other hell singular variants being after hell boy breaks the hell seal they can't rewind time without defeating him first . .. would be a interesting switch for the hell characters to be singular entities I. Their own multiverses that can actually travel to other hell entities universes meaning their is only the one of each of them and when you seen one together he traveled multiversal hell to help another hell entitie ... Not that every universe has one !

For two years Howard Mackies Ghost Rider Vol 2 dominated Marvel comics. It wasnt until after #25 it started to really drop off. And then we saw a pick up again after issue #38. Tbh tho that was short lived. Either way im js sales dont lie Mackies initial run is and continues to be the most successful that GR ever experienced. Like look at the Wizard Magazine issues at the time. They couldn't get enough. All im saying is his popularity wasnt as short lived as people think. That run lasted 93 issues for a reason even though we only wanna talk about the first 25. They were gonna make a cartoon about him. They kept shoehorning him into Animated shows so they could push a show about him in like 96 even though they could have made many others. He had his own toyline. It lasted two waves. Dan Ketch is where Ghost Rider became actually popular. That popularity lasted wayyy longer than the time within 25 issues. The entire Midnight Sons event rode on the Coat tails of the popularity of that Character and the beginning the Rise of the Midnight Sons happened waaay after 25. Dan Ketch was an Icon.
