I mean really what use was the ring of pouches around the thigh on every superhero? I love the Knightfall Batman suit Jean-Paul wore but the thigh pouches (to me anyway) seemed so unnecessary. Same with Jim Lee's Cyclops uniform. Don't get me wrong Jim Lee's Cyclops is my 2nd favorite of all time after the Whedon/Cassidy uniform but so...many...pouches.

That era was when i was into comics big time when i was a teen. now being 32 years old, i still get that excitment going into my LCS on wednesday prior to work.

As for the thigh pouches and what not, i believe that was a Rob Liefeld thing. he came up with it, and soon others all followed. The Knightfall storyline was also my favorite as well. i'm currently working on reading the digtal TPB while i have downtime at work. i miss that sam keith,kelly jones,todd mcfarlane, jim lee art big time, those were the days.

As for Today's comic artists and art work, It took me a little bit to get used to Humberto Ramos spider-man art and greg capullo batman. however J Scott Campbell, Tony Daniel and a few others i quickly warmed up to.

Anywho, on a related note, what waves are everyone predicting for Toy Fair? Last year there were three: Avengers, Spider-Man, and Ant-Man. This year it's all but confirmed that they'll show a new Spider-Man wave, and the X-Men one. I've heard talks of a Hulk wave? There's also the rumoured Doctor Strange wave, but since Hasbro are releasing more MLs this year than any other, can we expect four waves? Five?!

Well we're all already for sure that there is a current Captain America wave being released. I'm almost 100% certain another Spidey wave will drop as well before the year is up. It only seems logical that an X-men wave should be dropping soon, as well as possibly Doctor Strange.

Unless it was someone on here wishing for a civil war wave, im guess we should see something for that as well. i know im in need of a black panther figure.
