Landmark Comic Book Storylines Part 4: The 90sTop Story - April 2022
Comics in the 90s are often written off as bottom of the barrel, no-quality, all-gimmick garbage, and rightfully so. For fans who grew up reading the legendary comics of the 60s and 70s, it was awful to see the industry turned into a wasteland of hologram covers and endless spin-offs meant to entice comics investors. A-list heroes like Spider-Man and Batman, who carried two regular titles, a team-up title, and a reprint title each in the 70s suddenly had 5 monthly titles each, plus the reprint title, plus endless graphic novels, specials, mini-series, and guest appearances, all geared toward pushing the latest cartoon and toy line. But there was quality out there if you knew where to look.
