Well, over the last couple of months it's started happening. The new issues of both Peter Parker, and Amazing Spider-Man are excellent. The New X-Men, I must have read four times already. The Punisher mini-series was terrific, and I eagerly await the new ongoing series to come out soon. Then there's just plain nuttiness in the new Defenders book, and the superb storytelling in Strangers In Paradise.
People say that there is a big decline in comics, and maybe there is.
But I hope that maybe with the excellent writing, and drawing in this new comic boom, that there will be a turn around in the comic industry. I guess will see. So take my advice, and go out to whatever comic store is near you, and just glance at some of the comics I've mentioned. If you like what you see buy it. If not then don't.
