More Event Comics Month - I thought The Thing was Jewish? Is that a retcon? I was actually wondering the same thing. Thought he just misspoke at first until I saw the one panel

I've always preferred DC over Marvel, but man oh man does Marvel have by far the less confusing continuity

I've never really thought about continuity as this huge barrier to entry with comic book fans.
Like, I imagine most of us here got into comics between the 80s and 2000s. By that point there was already decades of it for the major characters and... it didn't matter.
Do they look cool? Are the stories cool? What is their personality? What are they up to now?
Those were the things that mattered.
If there was confusing history, just ignore it, there was tons of confusing, contradictory stuff in the history of most characters. The stories trying to explain it 99% of the time are more confusing as they wrap themselves in knots.

I got into the friggen X-men in the 90s and you want to talk about confusing continuity... the X-men are a spaghetti loop of time travel shenanigans... and that was before Wikipedia... and I could go and read any information.

My first issue was the story where Gambit and Wolverine go to New Orleans for some stuff with Gambit's wife and the Brood, teaming up with Ghost Rider. When I went past it on Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men, they wondered how anyone could understand it. Simple. Oh, Gambit has an ex wife, fair enough, there are these aliens that infect and transform people, gotta fight them. Another hero who looks cool and is some kind of demon joins them. All I knew, all I needed to know.

I got into Justice League comics at the tail end of the International era. And I don't mean "Breakdowns". I mean the dying days of Yazz/Ice Maiden/Triumph era of Justice League. I mean Extreme Justice. Trying to piece together continuity from that time period takes flow charts to figure out. And you know what? I enjoyed it. Because, despite what way too many comic book writers try to claim, continuity is a good thing that people like.

I don't have that much issue with the confusing continuity so much as with what can happen to characters I like when they try to 'fix' it

You think DC would have learned that from their "NO CONTINUITY!" thing a few years ago that almost completely sank the company. where you had shit like Harley breaking up with a Joker that hadn't existed in like 20 years... while Joker was in the main bat books as his wearing his own face as a mask self

My first comic was JLA/Avengers #1 which was essentially a tribute to two teams I barely have any real context for.
Still great, though. Gets better every time I read it.
