This art style by JR jJr was what I used to call "wood block carvings".

That's it exactly!

Love the older content on this channel! Keep doing it, I'll keep watching and liking!

I just discovered your channel. Awesome content. You brought back a lot of memories with your X-Men vids, especially the Claremont run.

Glad you like them!

This is the spiciest comic book commentary on YT and I looove it❤😂

Back in 1998, when I was first getting into Marvel comics, I was able to find a tpb of Bloodties included in a 3 pack of tpb's which also included the first Gambit mini and a gold foil Legion Quest at a local bookstore. Also the next crossover you should examen should be "Operation Galactic Storm", the only place imo that Carol Danvers shined between 1981 and 1998.

Sounds like an awesome haul!

Xavier's wrath at Exodus and the mutates. Is another foreshadow of Onslaught.

That's a good point. I don't know why I always forget that onslaught is so close to this time period.

Yeah, it is. I remember AoA feeling like it went on forever when it was coming out and I guess that's why I think of Onslaught as feeling so far away. But AoA actually wasn't nearly as long as I seem to remember.

Love Your Videos Captain Away!😊

I enjoyed JRJR's run of Daredevil.

His art from the 80s does tend to bother me less. I feel like it was in the 90s that he really started leaning into the block shapes that I've come to hate about his art.

Okay here's your assignment do a short talking about comics in the style of a monster truck rally ad

For a future Avengers video how about Operation: Galactic Storm?

You're the second request of that so it seems I need to put it on the list!

You should do a video on Avengers Under Siege.

I just knew someone was gonna get after me about that. Originally I actually did write a reference to them but decided to go with something silly (well, sillier. The GLA are pretty silly already).

Magnuseseses, Exoduseseses😅😅😂 and the baby puncher black night 😮😅

It’s because jr jr can draw a story. Theres many great artist who draw cool hero’s standing around but jr jr tells a story well. You’re better off a decent artist that can tell a story instead of a great artist drawing people that look cool standing around. Obviously both is better but jr jr Spider-Man era felt special. Lol it wasn’t so much the look but the feel if that makes sense. 😂

That's a great argument. I think I totally get that. That might be why I still kind of like his work during the JMS run on Amazing despite not liking him as an artist overall.

.... maybe never have children. God damn X-Men is woke as f***
