Do any comic book heads agree with this:

60s was overall good for comics
70s was gimmicky and wack
80s was legendary and still impact today
90s was "extreme" and wack
00s was greatness
10s was an experiment gone wrong
2020s going to be good.

Do any of y'all believe that?
90s that had Age of Apocalypse, Fatal Attractions, and X Cutioner's Song..introduced The Darkness and Witchblade? That 90s?

There were a ton of bad X-Men stories back in the 90s, as well.

Yeah 1997...some 94 stuff but I think that introduced Gen X. Operation Zero Tolerence in 97 was boring but the Trial of Gambit had me rolling and when Rogue left him to die, I never laughed so hard at a comic ending. X Men 95 Annual with Sinister was underrated but 95 was nearly fantastic...AOA, the AOA characters crossing over, Onslaught knocking Juggernaut out across the country, the Magneto War had a shocking ending.

2000s was not greatness since that was when decompression and writing for the trade was at its absolute worst.

You mean for Marvel. DC in the 00s was legit piff.

DC definitely had some amazing runs in the 2000s (Gotham Central, 52, Johns GL and Tomasi and Gleason's GLC), but they had plenty of :trash: (Identity Crisis, Countdown, Gay for Justice, Flash: The Fastest Man Alive).

The latest latter half of the decade is also when they started bringing in failed tv writers to make comics.

:what: The x-men as we know them were made in 75. The Phoenix saga is in the 70s, Spider-Man is straight fire in the 70s, fantastic four and daredevil too.

If anybody in here sees this...

I want some new comics to read. I've read about 10-15 Marvel/DC runs/storylines in total but feel free to recommend any dope storylines or long running series. I can't remember all I've read but the ones I do remember are:

The Court of Owls
Brian Azzarello's Joker
The Long Halloween
Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns
Frank Miller's Year One
Death of Superman
Death of the Family
Trinity War
Gothtopia
H'El on Earth

Anything else dope? Any time period
