I was 100% a DC comics kid, except for the Silver Surfer featuring Ron Lim's lovely artwork. How this video takes me back. Thanks bring back nice memories!
Captions? Interior monologues? Writing?!? What are they? Those images you showed of Dr. Minerva's early appearances make clear how visual storytelling has hit the skids.
When the writer has given him an actual story to tell, Ron Lim is a great story-teller. Loads of examples but even his fill-in issue of Daredevil probably demonstrates just how good he is at telling a story visually: ua-cam.com/video/cNquqVRJnFE/v-deo.html
@@SonofCapwolf I never felt like looking for other comics he wrote. Most of the Marvel writers around then were ok but didn't intrigue me. I like Peter David about 60% of the time.
Nice Ron Lim art. I’ve said it before but I’m not a big fan of space comics. There’s a disconnect with me for some reason. I like space movies. I think it’s less the idea of space comics and more the particular creators they tend to attract. I loved the Stern and Byrne space stuff, for example. But Marz, Valentino, Starlin, Levitz, etc. who all wrote extensive space stuff I just don’t gravitate to their work. Also my least favorite X-Men comics were the ones with the Shi’ar and Imperial Guard and Starjammers and so on. Even space characters like Surfer and Lantern my favorite stories tended to be the ones where they were on Earth.
@@SonofCapwolf So does Starfox. But something just changes when Marvel writers start trying to write Star Trek fan fic with superheroes. Rom! There’s the biggest exception. I enjoyed Rom a lot and still did on my latest revisit of it.
Great title. The Kree Fallin' one.

I think Ron Lim did the art for some of the Marvel/DC crossover one-shots with Silver Surfer.

The visual component of this comic is far from the problem with the story-telling.

I always thought Ron Marz was alright.
So do I.

Not true, you love space stories, you forgot that The Beyonder comes from space.
