I really liked Cloak and Dagger back in the day.

I really liked Cloak and Dagger back in the day. I remember getting the Marvel Cloak and Dagger Poster for my birthday back then. My mom still has a picture of me holding the mini series in front of it. I haven't seen much done with them lately other than Cloak teleporting people around during Civil War.

 

They appeared for a while early in the second volume of Runaways.

 

Btw, I am a Dagger fan more so than a Cloak fan

Underrated character of the Copper Age?

 

Nexus

 

Judah!

 

...Badger, Jon Sable...

 

[Arrgh!!]

I would add Grimjack to that list too. Personally I would leave American Flagg off though ( I could never get in to it).

[General Zod]

flaming carrot! ut!

 

Him, Grendel and Groo.

i forgot the rocketeer! even with a movie, hardly any comic material

So true. I'm amazed at how short comic wise Rocketeer is. I have all the early Pacific issues of Starslayer with the Rocketeer.

im surprised too that no one has tried to relaunch it. it has gained a nice cult following i believe. perhaps its a rights issue

Rocketeer without Dave Stevens would be hard to pull off - IIRC the movie adaptation comic was pretty lame.

 

 

Don Simpson's Megaton Man doesn't get the love it should

 

and Michael T. Gilbert's Mr. Monster is possibly underrated, though he does seem to have a following.

[Nexus]

Great seeing favorites like Nexus, Jon Sable, Badger, Groo, Rocketeer, Grendel Mr. Monster, Concrete...love 'em all. I'd also like to add Mage and Elementals.

[nickwire]

mr monster was/is brilliant! i still am trying to get all the books and horror reprints when i see them i think adam hughes could do rocketeer justice, but thats justy opinion

[HeroDreamer]

Loved Darkhawk! One of the first books I picked up monthly. I should really pick up a run of that...no idea what happened after 33 or so. Did that end at 50?

[whetteon]

Darkhawk,

New Warriors,

Scud

MS.TREE,GROO,DREADSTAR and the NEW MUTANTS.

[camera73]

MS.TREE,GROO,DREADSTAR and the NEW MUTANTS.

 

I think Groo had his day in the sun - I wouldn't call him underrated.

I've always wanted to read Ms. Tree - maybe this is a good time to track it down.

 

Scout is one of the best '80s characters that no one has read. Equal in my eyes to V for Vendetta, which used to be an underrated story of the CA.

 

The One, Void Indigo, Coyote, Sisterhood of Steel and any other Epic Comics-type characters that were pretty well-written but now forgotten.
