CycleGirl Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Well done CycleGirl. That Pac Coast book is nice Thanks for the kudos on the Pac Coast book, everyone. This is my first SA ped. It's kind of cool to have a book from a famous find. Anyway, I guess I got us from Phoenix's Claremont thread. Yes, Claremont was brilliant. I would say groundbreaking. I suppose that superheroes, in the 20th century, fill the same place that the ancient Greek and Roman heroes, demi-gods and gods filled in the classical age. The characters are arch-types and always bigger than life. However, what Claremont brought to the medium, more than any other, was real tragedy. The tragedy of Jean and Scott is as significant of a legend to me as the stories of Achilles or Oedipus. Unfortunately, I have not read a lot from the more modern writers. I will look for TPBs of the writers mentioned on this thread. However, the two that I love are Frank Miller for the Dark Knight series and J. Michael Straczynski for ASM. Brilliant! When it comes to modern books, I would like to talk about the art! My favorite is Greg Land's Phoenix Endsong. The story is told in images. The dialog and narration are secondary.

CycleGirl No need to apologise for getting such a great ped book!! The other thing that i found interesting is that when you look at the new "recruits"...wolverine, nightcrawler, colossus, storm they each were a study in opposites..that they were all a study of the interior vs the exterior. (As MK falls asleep waiting for the next action scene to come along... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
