I don't agree with that notion, but I've always found myself in the minority regarding that opinion.



That's a very safe bet.

A: to the bolded portion: I can understand that. The writing was really great IMO but even 20 year old me realized at the time it was overtop artwork wise. But that was what was so "great" - YMMV-ring of course) about the 90's. It's very much a product of it's time. But to many people it's time was glorious, if not classic.

B:

AOA Sabretooth is ABSOLUTELY, DEFINITELY coming. Maybe not wave 1, maybe as a BAF, but there is no way they're rounding out this event without making an AOA Sabretooth. I will eat my shorts if they don't.

When I read these, there was no feedback about comics other than friends. Wizard magazine loved everything so they weren’t reliable critics, and there wasn’t any dialogue on the Internet. Only online was message boards through libraries that were probably blue dots, or AOL’s very limited chat rooms. So from my personal experience, it was always a joke. I guess the fact that in 12 years Fox never adapted it into a film reinforced that belief. Well, for all of you that love this, I am totally thrilled for you. The AoA designs were definitely colorful and busy, so they really were created to be toys. I look forward to seeing how creative our members will display them.

As I've stated before, I am among those thrilled. I will practically commit, sight unseen, to buying every single AoA product they put out.
