Interestingly...You're not from another planet?<br /><br />Interestingly, one book that still maintains the secret identity is a much more recent player in the superhero world - Invincible. In fact, the entire book is much more interesting for the interpersonal relationships between Mark and the other characters, whether powered or not, than it is for the fights, which are pretty spectacular in their own right.Thommnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33311991.post-25067713585472337422010-07-01T03:28:01.466-04:002010-07-01T03:28:01.466-04:00Excellent. I think you're right on target wit...Excellent. I think you're right on target with this theory. I miss the secret IDs too (At least May [Spider-Girl] still has one). <br /><br />I also agree that the change to story-arc versus organic monthlies is a big contributor to the decline of our "involvement" with the heroes. Born Again -- one of my favorite graphic novels wasn't designed to be a graphic novel -- it was just the monthly book. There were no part 2 of 6 on the covers. I'm telling you no HC no matter how nice can recapture the feel of that book hitting the stands.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894454259041852707noreply@blogger.com
