So I've decided to give reading The Boys Vol. 2
a rest until the trade of Vol. 1 I ordered (along with my Freddy vs Jason vs Ash: Nightmare Warriors) comes in at the comic shop I frequent, and chose to re-read the original six issues of the first government issued hero hunter I knew of, Marshal Law.
If ya ever wonder what my fave comic book is, this is it. The issue on the upper right I've had since 1989, and considering the very mature nature of the series, I'm not sure how I (at 8) was allowed to purchase it. Glad I did though.
On a side note (that I can't promise won't turn into a rant), I realized how odd of a comic reader I am. Every since I was a child, I had always read comics that interested whether they were new or not. My fave comics as a kid were Marvel Team Up, Power Man and Iron Fist (70's comics), Justice League Europe (mostly because of Bart Sears' artwork), What If?, the entire Impact Comics line and other current at the time books. My point being a good story is good story regardless of the cover date. The last few years I've come in contact with an alarming number of people who believe a comic is only as good as how relevant it is to the current continuety. People who believe you're only a fan if you're all over Fear Itself or whatever major event Marvel is doing, pissing your pants because of DC supposed reboot of their universe, or whatever indie comic is "in". When Marvel did the Civil War event (which I was uninterested in then as much as I am now), I was asked if I was a noob or even a real fan of Marvel because I opted to read Uncanny X-Men from the 80's instead, as those were "irrelavent stories nobody cares about." For fucks sake, it doesn't matter what the cover date is, a good read is a good read! It doesn't matter if it's Milestone's Icon from the 90's, Marvel's Tales to Astonish from the 60's, or DC's latest Superman: Earth One, if it's good fucking read it.
Alright, rant over.
Ok, I'm gonna stop wasting your time and get to reading Marshal Law, laters

Fuck anyone who attempts to form sweeping opinions on subjective media. I almost always listen to music from the early to mid 90's. That's my thing, and I don't begrudge other people having theirs. Comics wise, I just take what interests me. Spawn is a favourite because the artwork is glorious and the characters are so over the top and at times hilariously tragic. But I don't care when it's made. I used to read "Hard C.O.R.P.S." because again, it appealed to me. I liked the idea of Civil War, personally, so I gave it a shot. There is no global relevance in comic books, whoever tries to tell you otherwise is an elitist, troll fuck.
