First of all, before I start: oh let me tell you about 60s comic writing. I would call it overly verbose and well, too on the nose. I like it for what it is, but I will tell you that nothing takes longer than reading a comic where all the characters narrate every single thing they are doing in detail. Additionally, there is definitely a set "formula" during this era of X-Men. This isn't a bad thing for what it was meant to be, something that was read once a month/every two weeks, for kids, and not expected for most people to read every single one... that said, as an adult, reading now, and reading it all back to back to back... it can be a bit much. This beginning I know will be a hard part for me. But I suffer for my completionism.
Is it really a fandom if you don't suffer?
ReplyDeleteUsually it is just the other fans that make me suffer...
