In the early years, this meant my ideal game, and the game I was running, matched perfectly. We all read essentially the same comics and were roughly the same age.<br /><br />More recent times have seen a greater mix of influences and styles, and I've tried my best to merge these together into something enjoyable to everyone.<br /><br />Now, I face a group with fewer shared references, and even less overall familiarity of the genre. At the same time, I feel a greater personal desire to go old school and run my 'ideal' type of Superhero game.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-68760450060413715992014-10-16T09:47:24.000-04:002014-10-16T09:47:24.000-04:00Ha!

In my mind, it would be awesome!

First, I have to say that I have never been an avid comic reader and, in fact, I started buying them quite late, already in my 20s. That shows a lot in my answers. Also, keep in mind that it shows my “ideal” superhero references, not those of my current campaign (which had a lot of input from my players in terms of thematic inspirations, including several comics I know about but I haven’t read).<br /><br />COMIC<br /><br />The Ultimates, vol. 1 & 2: The best I have read, period.<br /><br />Ultimate Spiderman: by Bendis and. It is not casual that the team had the longest run in Marvel’s history.<br /><br />Freak’s Squeele: A French pseudo-manga. Not really a superhero comic, but it is all about superheroes.<br /><br />X-Men: I really dig the concept and the characters, although I usually find the actual comics somewhat underwhelming.<br /><br />Fantastic Four: Just the opposite, I don’t find the idea or the characters that appealing, but having Reed Richards in a comic is usually a sign that something interesting is going to happen.<br /><br />Dr. Strange: The only silver/bronze age comic that I have really enjoyed. The weirdness Dikto put into it caught my eye.<br /><br />OTHER<br /><br />X-Men & X-Men 2: They are almost a two-part movie, and the second is probably the coolest superhero film yet (The Dark Knight is a better movie, but not a <i>superhero</i> movie).<br /><br />X-Men Legends: Videogame. As I said, I like better the X-Men in other media that comic.<br /><br />Young Justice: Animated show.<br /><br />Superman Returns: It is a boring movie, but the first scene is what superheroes are all about.<br /><br />Freedom City Universe: RPG setting. When I read about the characters, I often think “I would like to read that comic!”Miguel de Rojashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762364029464337239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-80094067476238880532014-10-15T22:12:52.596-04:002014-10-15T22:12:52.596-04:00Awesome!
