I just started reading Marvel recently (in chronological order) and the F4 seem to be the most fun so far and I'm looking forward to them being in the MCU (hopefully). Can you imagine if they got pushed aside and made into a shitty TV series Inhumans style?

>the F4 seem to be the most fun so far
Which run are you liking the most?

I don't know alot of comic lingo. I'm just reading the original 616 universe in the best chronoglical order possible and I really like them so far.

What do you like about them?

If you’re enjoying these, you have a lot of fantastic reading in front of you.
Tales of Suspense Cap is great and Thor really picks up from around 125 on.
Ditko/Romita era ASM is kickass too.

It will never not be funny to be that Namor, a character based on Lovecraft's Deep Ones (created based on his own views about interracial romance), most famous deed is cucking a man and stealing his white woman.
It's like pottery.

That was only possible because Sue Storm is an incredibly dumb woman.

He's reading chronologically, so clearly Lee/Kirby. Which makes sense since Lee/Kirby's FF is the best thing from Silver Age Marvel.

The Elephant in the Room is that those comics don't hold up, these days.
The characters obviously do, and, we can thank the writers and artists throughout the last 50+ years, and
Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, but
The comics themselves just don't withstand the test of time very well.

I like Thor better.

I can’t choose. Thor really surprised me though. 131 especially will always be one of my favorite comics.

Which FF comics do hold up then?

>it's an "user knows nothing about a hobby so he decides to buy fully in on his first day" episode
user, it's cool that you're jumping in to comics, but you should take it slow. Just find a couple books you think you might like, don't try to do this chronological order bullshit. There's literally no point in it, especially for a new fan.

Actually I've found a lot of Lee/Kirby stuff still works if you get into a bit of a rhythm with its sort of goofy flow. It does take a few issues to warm up though.

You have to be willing to hold up though, and,
that is the problem.
You and I might be able to hold up for the purposes of Nostalgia, but...
The truth is that no sixteen yr old out there is going to give two shits after reading one goofy issue.

What are you talking about? I don't hold up, those two masters work does. I still get a good laugh about Doom breaking into the Marvel offices and harassing Lee and Kirby for info on Reeds whereabouts. Shit is great.

...and that is to say, Marvel probably didn't catch a vibe until the early 80's that any younger fan is going to give two shits about...
..and with all due credit to Lee, Kirby, Buscema, Romita and tons of others who kept it alive.

I guess you missed the first XMen or Hulk then...

Yeah I ah... I haven't gotten to those yet myself. (Not Op.) I know X-Men wandered until cancellation and Claremont revival. And Hulk just got shitcanned almost right away.

I'm sure I'm one of the only ones because it's far from what people want in a Thor story, but 141 is one of my favorites.

...and, yes, Chris Claremont. Good catch.
Keep reading, user.

OP Here, I'm 18 and love it. The first comics I read were TWD and Ultimate Spider-Man, I like both modern stuff and old fashioned cheesy stuff.

I normally wouldn't but I just enjoy it more.

You don't even know what you enjoy yet.

Why would I even lie about enjoying reading it the way I currently am

John Byrne

Byrne had some crucial saves too.
Good Call.

>purposes of Nostalgia
What nostalgia? This shit was written when my dad was a toddler, how could I be nostalgic for it?
>no sixteen yr old
Why does what some tween cunt thinks matter? What's fun is fun, and when I read the first issue of FF (and did that only last summer) I had a good time.
Stop using ellipses that way, it's hideous.

It takes like twenty, thirty issues to really get good though. X-men had a slightly better track record of doing interesting stories in that same time frame (the early Magneto stories before the Stranger, Blob, Juggernaut two-parter, the Sentinels, Unus), although it's still very easy to see why O5 failed to become popular until Claremont.

I think Thor has a really weak start. Once it gets going, it becomes just as good if not better than F4, but it takes a while to get there. I think F4 hits its stride way sooner whereas it's a while before Lee and Kirby start leaning more heavily into the Asgard stuff. A lot of the more street level stuff in the first few dozen issues is pretty dull.

In the 1930s, scientist and explorer Dr. Bruce Dickson attempts to climb Mount Kalpurthia in the Himalayas. There, he encounters the lost civilization of Kalahia, which possessed extremely advanced technology. The Kalahian people expose him to a mutagenic substance which alters his body to give him the same physical abilities as they had: eternal youth, and tremendous physical resilience and flexibility, including the ability to become "thin", or rather, flat.

Dickson learns much of their advanced technology, and falls in love with Olalla, daughter of the Kalahians' leader. He and his new love travel to the outside world and become superhero contemporaries of Captain America, the Human Torch, the Sub-Mariner, and others. The Thin Man, which Dickson has adopted as his superhero name, becomes a member of the stateside team the Liberty Legion during World War II.[1] The Liberty Legion then began battling Nazi agents in the USA.[2] With the Liberty Legion, he battled the Invaders, who were hypnotically controlled by the Red Skull.[3] In 1942, the Liberty Legion encountered the Thing who had traveled back in time, and then aided them in battling Master Man, U-Man, and Skyshark.[4] The Liberty Legion also battled Iron Cross.[5]

At some point, the Thin Man reveals to Captain America[6] that Olalla, whom he has married, had returned to Kalahia. The Thin Man remained in order to serve his country, and when he returns to Kalahia after the war he finds that the Nazis had located the valley and slaughtered all its inhabitants, including his wife. After this, he becomes an obsessed Nazi hunter for decades, eventually discovering that an old foe, the Nazi's Agent Axis, had been responsible for Kalahia's destruction.

That's horseshit. You sound like the kind of faggot that likes Alan Moore.

60s Fantastic Four and 60s Spider-Man hold up just fine. The rest of 60s Marvel is debatable.
