Amalgam comics. I didn't read them first run but I have since read Super-Soldier and Dr. Strangefate. They were fun. Today I picked up Creepshow 5, Sgt. Rock 5, and Sham Comics Presents The Pacemaker which is a riffed version of some old Charlton Peacemaker comics. I highly recommend the JLX books if you can find them, from Amalgam. They're...obnoxiously 90's, but I have big time nostalgia for that period, so they still hold up to me.

I wanted to collect all of those back when they were relatively new, but just never got them all. I'm pretty sure I still have the ones I did collect, though. Lobo The Duck was kinda fun.

I wish Amalgam was still an occasional thing. Just once every couple years to look in on that world would be fun.

The only ones that really weren't great(even in a cheesy, "so bad it's good" way) were Dare & Catsai(Daredevil, Deathstroke, Catwoman, and Elektra all rolled into one big ball of stupid), and Bullets & Bracelets(The Punisher & Wonder Woman as a team).

Speaking of Amalgam, pretty sure Spider-Boy was hinted at being killed by Morlun when Morlun picks up a arm that looks pretty similar to Spider-Boy’s.

I'll also never get over the stupid simplicity of Marvel's Scarecrow and DC's Scarecrow combining into....Scarecrow.

Amalgam were mixed bag.
But I do miss when the big two worked together every once and a while.
the creatives said the same but when both are owned by massive conglomerates it's not happening. it was a miracle they got George Pérez's JLA/Avengers reissued for as limited run as they did.

Re-reading the tpb The Many Armors of Iron Man that collects a bunch of issues where he has different suits. Just read story of him in space armor vs Sunturion. Cool design and powers on a little used villain.

Same. Silver Centurion is the best

The best is clearly either the roller skates or the one where the artists mistook what Stan Lee meant and gave the armor a nose.

Speaking of Last Ronin...meet the next generation of the TMNT (which impressed Nickelodeon reportedly)

It was great to see em back on Surfer. Looking forward to Warlock.
Hell Adam's 'good' side was female back in 1993. There was a whole crusade about it.
