Sure it's close, but he's just a slight step behind the big D... And yes, if I had a sarcasm button I'd be pressing the hell out of it right now! :P All I will say about Catman is that he did manage to go toe to toe with Batman himself in an early issue of Secret Six, so he's definitely no slouch, but Doomsday? Probably not the best comparison!<br /><br />I swear I read somewhere from Milligan that he hated that X-run and never even wanted to do it, which might have explained the way his stories went, Marc. He seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't want to be all wrapped up with something as mainstream as the X-Men. X-Statix, Hellblazer, definitely, the X-Men, nope. And I have NOTHING further to say about that Claremont run... I don't care what anybody says, THAT was the worst X-run ever by anybody!x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-29830588311680049392011-02-18T11:11:02.359-05:002011-02-18T11:11:02.359-05:00I read a couple issues of the Milligan and Claremo...I read a couple issues of the Milligan and Claremont runs (I think they were going on about the same time) and stopped because I wasn't impressed. Milligan wasn't horrible but wasn't very compelling either (I remember him introducing a Doop-like creature and then not really doing anything with it) and Claremont...God, that stuff was just BAD. So glad I didn't waste more than a couple issues reading it. It's just too bad I had to miss out on the work of a great artist.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-76624810120895316652011-02-18T02:51:29.849-05:002011-02-18T02:51:29.849-05:00HAHAHAHA...Who the eff at DC compared him to Dooms...HAHAHAHA...Who the eff at DC compared him to Doomsday?

Get the fuck outta here. I understand making him look like a threat but really?! Catman = Doomsday? No way, at ALL. He's nowhere near Slade, let alone Doomsday, and I actually like Catman.Jason Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796190974001777556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-73303837493653089952011-02-18T01:19:50.046-05:002011-02-18T01:19:50.046-05:00He was on the cover in this life or death battle w...He was on the cover in this life or death battle with Tim, and all he really did was pin Tim's cape to the rooftop!!!

The Milligan stuff came right off the heels of his X-Statix work, and was in adjective-less X-Men I think. I remember it being okay. Claremont's run, if it's the one I'm thinking off, was an unmitigated DISASTER! I mean Draco bad!!! If it's the Savage Land storyline, avoid it like the plague, Marc! The plague!!! I have a few World War Hulk tie-ins that I never got around too(and can't figure out why I brought them in the first place...)as well as the last... I want to say 12 issues of the Ultimate X-Men series. And that's on top of the regular back issues I have laying around like Marvels, Day of Vengeance, the full Damage run, a MESS of old Flash comics, etc.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-58861307807733338772011-02-18T01:08:21.666-05:002011-02-18T01:08:21.666-05:00I have a bunch of Peter Milligan and Chris Claremo...I have a bunch of Peter Milligan and Chris Claremont/Alan Davis issues of Uncanny X-Men lying around that I haven't read...man, those things must be five or six years old at this point!Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-86704282065709505242011-02-18T00:36:11.558-05:002011-02-18T00:36:11.558-05:00At least three years!

Trust me, I know the feeling! I have back issues that have been laying around unread for like three years! They just sit there and collect dust!

RR sounds like a good read. And I thought that said Catwoman and got really excited, but then I saw it was Catman. And even though I haven't read the last 3 RR comics, even to me that sounds random of him to show up. Lol. Was there any logic or reason about it? <br /><br />Lol @ Real Birds, ouch, Dove and Hawk may cry behind that X! Lol. JK, glad to see you enjoyed this issue better than previous. Hopefully I can get some freaking reading done within the next couple days. Lol.Falisha Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298555562761767317noreply@blogger.com
