My copy is ordered and I am looking forward to reading it!

I really liked Grant Morrison's New X-Men leather jackets, but I do agree that skin-tight, colorful long-johns are what superheroes really need to wear! I love every decade of comic books, from pretty much every company, but if I had to pick a least favorite, it would probably be DC in the 1960's. I like DC's 50's stuff a little better, even though I prefer Atlas, and DC in the 70's- while not too great- did at least...

Either way, it make little difference to me as this volume will not be a part of my collection. You are, indeed, a wise man. But my position remains... if this "stuff" has to be reprinted, reprint it all , exactly as it appeared in the comic book. One shouldn't be compelled to buy other Masterworks to read a "complete" story.

I prefer Buscema to Kirby on almost everything honestly, just my preference on art, not a comment on either man. But regardless, I think Buscema might be the best Thor artist, followed by Simonson.

A third Rawhide Kid Masterworks would be awesome!!! It will feature the stories where they were longer than the previous issues. Getting into the really good issues.

I really enjoyed some of the enhanced covers. I liked them when they were used properly. Like on the Silver Surfer #50 cover. The shiny look was very cool. I loved the Glow in the Dark Ghost Rider #15. But others just did not fit or made the cover look awkward. For instance the X-Men covers with the holograms. There was already some great art ont he wrap around covers and then they stuck a separate hologram image on the cover. It did not work....

Mere words cannot fully express my distaste of much of Marvel's 90s output. There are gems among all that foil, mind you, but for the most part, Marvel managed to make me hate the hobby I had grown up loving. DC was hardly better, but at least the art was good. Today, I find DC to be overall more satisfying, but even they are growing stale in my eyes of late. I'm hanging in there through Blackest Night, and still enjoy about 12...

The issues would be Amazing Spider-Man #'s 124-125, Giant-Size Super-Heroes #1, Creatures on the Loose #'s 30-37, Marvel Premiere #'s 45-46, ASM #'s 189-190, and PPTSSM Annual #3. Seems a little hefty, but is it doable?...

Well, to bump up the page count on a Man Wolf MMW, howbout including Savage She-Hulk 14 and 15?
