90s Adam Kuberts Wolvie was awesome!
Saving lunch money all week to buy comics is 100% where I was at during this era too
I took the lunch money that my parents gave me and bought candy to sell at school (which I made a lot of money doing) to fund my weekly comic book purchases....i remember the days when i thought i had a serious problem when i was spending sometimes $10 whole dollars a week on comics!!!
That DC Zero Hour "event" is an embarrassment but James Robinson and Tony Harris had a big win with Star Man. Solid book for most of the entire run
Love to hear props given to the late great Steven Hughes. He gets written off as a "bad girl" artist but was truly a masterful illustrator and all around wonderful man. I wish he were here today to see how he'd have evolved in our modern day comics.
In the Brutes and Babes section, the artist Andy Park is probably the same artist that went on to do some comics work, but is mainly known today as the conceptual artist on a lot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He was first discovered by Rob Liefeld and Extreme Studios back in the 90's. He also later penciled the Tomb Raider comic with Top Cow Productions
In the Brutes and Babes section, Lewis LaRosa from Georgia is a pro. Broke in circa 2002 with interiors on a Thunderbolts spinoff. Then the launch of Punisher Max with Garth Ennis. Second wind at relaunched Valiant, where they seem to play musical chairs with artists on a lot of their books. Currently doing Megalith with Matt Kindt for Bad Idea, founded by the ex-Valiant guys. Arguably one of those companies Ed refers to early into this episode.
Steven Hughes seemsed to be well under appreciated for his talent... an all time favourite. Just wished he did more than the Chaos stuff. I get the vibe that the Chaos association keeps him underappreciated - cuz them stories weren't thaaaaat good.
Every page turn blows my mind and takes me there instantly. Constantly transporting dimensions with yall. Love the channel.
I've missed out on alot not being from the U.S. Never heard of Wizard before, looks dope as hell.
I worked at Waldenbooks in Palm Desert, CA from 1990-1994, and we got the Milestone comics as part of our newsstand comics for a good long while. They disappeared somewhere in there--maybe they went direct market only at a certain point? So they did have some newsstand distribution. They always sent us way more comics than we had shelf space for, so we had to figure out what to send back without any real sense of sales numbers. It was frustrating, but I made a point of always putting the Milestone books out as they looked pretty cool.
So excited to see the return of your Wizard breakdowns, can't wait to watch this!
You guys should cover the first few issues of Milestone's Icon with MD bright on art and a killer story.
new around here... I am enjoying seeing these Wizard reviews. I never read the mag, but now it's clearly a part of the history of the era.. I was inspired to check out what was going on in film and music in Oct of 1994..

I remember picking up one of my first Wizard mags that had a Joey Mad feature in it. I was stoked to see a comic book dude have a loose action figure collection displayed in the background of the photo shoot. I thought at the time that I was the only douche who had toys and comics spilled all over their room.
You referring to #49? I think that's the one that had the interview. I remember starting to watch anime because it was mentioned as one of his influences.
Such a fascinating era. Outside of Vertigo and some indies, the majority of 90s comics leave me cold. But what they were doing and why? I’m there with popcorn
i might be the only person that thinks this but i love the work that the kubert brothers put out in the late 80s and 90s more then anything recent there art now feels too tamed
Walmart sold multipacks of comics too, i bought a lot of those back in the day.
I love this Spaw/ Silvestri issue. One of my favorites.
Still on tenterhooks for issue 39!
I have that From Hell script book. The copy I have is the limited to 1000 copies version, #169 signed by Moore, Campbell and Bissette. It was $95 and I think it was the only volume published. It covers the prologue to chapter 3. I believe there was also a lettered version for $450, but I've never seen that.
I had a few issues of Shi... or however it was spelled... I was always into ninjas and samurai so I bought those when I found them.
My All-Time favorite Wizard issues are #70, 73, 80, and the JLA and Avengers specials. I can't wait till y'all get to them.
I was hoping you guys would get to this one, it's the only issue I still have!
I know I had this one because of Lady Death 1/2 but I don't remember anything else about it, I guess. It's fun to go back and look through stuff from this time though.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAA I just had a massive flashback going through this Wizard issue....
I got this book in my hands right now
Cool video, keep up the good work.
Silvestri's Spawn issue is AWESOME.
Milestone was definitely on newsstands.
Def didn’t know about that early John Paul Leon work on Shadow Cabinet, gonna have to check that out!
Dawn was the bad girl comic I used to read, and later on Shi
Hawkworld is top-notch. DC really wasted a killer concept by abandoning Tim's ideas when he finished the book. I'm pretty sure they just didn't get it and had no idea what to with it without Truman's vision.
I definitely was too young to read comics back in the Milestone days, but your descriptions come off sort of how I view something like the recent "Catalyst Prime" universe launch from Lion Forge. You've got really talented creators trying to tell some hard-hitting kind of issues and forcing their way into a crowded market. It's not that the material or the creators are bad at all. Maybe they just were too confrontational and too forced in pointing out how THEIR comics were telling real life stories. I know as a current comics reader that the Milestone material was generally pretty well received. Probably just too far ahead of their time for finding the "serious" indy readers that would have really dug that type of universe.
Goddamn, I vividly remember this issue!
39 coming soon?
I really wish those Brutes and Babes pages were bigger, that's some really cool shit, love seeing early art.
Milestone were on the news stands at the time! They were distributed by DC, so went to that market as well alongside Superman and Batman.
From the Bad Girl article, Ultraverse's Mantra was notable for some early Terry Dodson art.
The Hulk 2099 ad was by Adam Kubert.
❤
Chris Bachalo's newer Dr. Strange stuff was really good looking.
Wizard Returns!
I still have a Tekno comic by Leonard Nemoy. Never read it.
\i had so many of these
Definitely was reading Wizard at this point because I had that Lady Death 1/2.
X-Men Grand Design was Amazing.
Well this video was a pleasant, unexpected find.
Did that Gen 13 #1 make it out of the car crash okay?
Andy Park is Director of Visual Development at Marvel Studios.

early Jean paul leon marvel work Logan path of the warlord 1996
Is Teknophage from Tekno Comics worth seeking out? It’s Rick Veitch and Bryan Talbot. It’s the only one I heard anything positive about.
Yes. The 1st issue is definitely worth a flip-through. The art is pretty good and the concept is interesting enough to make for a fun read. I can't speak to anything past that 1st issue though.
I wonder if that is this Andy Park? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Park_(comics)
Looks like it. Born in 1975 would make him 18 when the contest came out.
Wow! What an amsome cover by Adam Kubert. Back in the 90s is when people had the best talent in comics. Nobody draws like this anymore. And that's why i don't buy todays comics. I stick with back issues of Wolverine and Andy Kuberts X-men.
