Peter Milligan and Mike Allred’s “X-Statix” offered everything you desire in a comic and more. Then Marvel nixed it. “Runaways” is still pretty damn good, though.
I loved X-Statix. It was the last ongoing X-Book I purchased regularly. But what I think did it in was that there was no clear “line” distinction between it and the other 40k X-Titles out there. It didn’t quite fit into continuity, and it wasn’t quite in it’s own world, so those who need the continuity didn’t like it, and those who wanted to avoid continuity stayed away.
And Runaways and Astonishing X-Men are the only Marvel title I’m buying these days. Even though I’ve never seen an episode of Buffy, Joss Whedon has earned enough trust from me with his work on Firefly and Serenity to keep me buying.
Those are some very good ideals. I wish people working in comics followed that list a bit more often.
at least the have grim and gritty for the current superhero reading base but also make sure you have some comics that are fun and can be read by everyone.
