One A Day 2.0: Day #201 - Kro

[TheGillMan]

i love meeting someone that actually likes the Avengers pre-bendis. I feel like I'm the only one willing o give them chances among most of my circles

For me, that IS the Avengers. Bendis onwards has been a mixed bag of decent-to-awful stories. Give me these classic stories ANY day.

I think it's mostly x-fans looking down on it cause it's rarely as good as claremont's stuff.

And I see the logic in that like. Bendis had the smart idea of "Lets put all the popular people on whats supposed to be the worlds greatest team. So you have spidey and wolverine, and you get a big sales boost.

But i dgaf about any of that, i just want fun superheroes vs fun supervillains

The fun of classic Avengers for me was always that it felt like the drainage point for all of the weird-ass ideas and characters of the Marvel Universe ... the things that make comics (to me) great. Some cases in point from favorite storylines:

... also YES to Swordsman! And not just because I feel like I'd be banished from the forum by Beamish if I passed. Avengers #123 was my first comic, so him and Mantis loom large in my conception of the Marvel Universe.

For me, Bendis is what killed my enjoyment of the Avengers, period. Chuck Austen before him wasn’t any better, but Bendis was the nail in the coffin. It’s why Busiek is my ending line, with the Johns run following a flip-flop of whether or not I enjoy it.

Absolutely! Classic Avengers were the best. Modern stuff has been meh...

Ha! “Pre-Bendis” is my rule for almost anything he ever touched. Bendis completely destroyed any desire I had to read Avengers. Basically anything he’s done post-Powers, I can’t stand.

Day #201 - Kro

Would I buy? Sure, but not a high priority
Which version? The Kirby version is great, but I kind of dig the more modern, buffer version in picture #9

Does Ikaris mean we might get more comic Eternals? Would Kro be one of them?

 

[TheGillMan]

Pass. As much as I love Kirby, the Eternals has never really done it for me.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Eternals is not my favorite corner of the Marvel Universe, but their primary antagonist is a must.
Two-pack with Maximus the Mad?
“Villains of Hidden Worlds”?

 

[DetectiveHoag]

I’d love a Crow!

Oh. You mean Kro. Not a big priority for me, as I’m not big into the Enternals. Hope those that want him, get him though.

 

[Silent Red]

Swordsman is high on my wishlist.
Crow and Tom Servo, as well.

 

[renfield75]

I'd like Handbook Kro

 

[Ultra Seven]

Kro is a pass at today's prices. I'm trying to focus on completing teams/ displays I already have. Ikaris was banished a while ago to a bin, and even if we got more Eternals, I just don't care enough about the group to dedicate the space to them.

 

[fingfangfoom]

I want Kro, but some of the other main Eternals are more of a priority. Kirby classic all the way, but maybe with the alt horned head.
Also:

Swordsman is high on my wishlist.
Crow and Tom Servo, as well.

Not a big fan of Kro but his most recent look would be my preference.
