Probably for Image and DC. They could probably find a more popular second mutie to use than Wanda though. Elektra was also pretty popular in those days I think. Bringing her back was worth more to them than their relationship with Frank Miller. It's kinda weird how much she's fallen off since then

I think the Elektra solo book from the 90s may have been cancelled by 1998, and you're underestimating just how popular the Avengers relaunch at the time was, and Wanda was the lead heroine in that book. You could make a stronger case for her than for Sue in 1998.

She seems to have been oddly neglected by DC for a lot of the 90s, on the brink of getting sucked into the Vertigo ghetto, so by 1998 she wasn't an obvious choice. And Wizard's list is all about the obvious choices and some fetishy choices.

>>153178892
It's Wizard. Wolverine being shilled on every comic book cover was their ongoing running joke, which wasn't far off from the reality.

I remember Linsner's ads in the back of comics rags and it was abundantly obvious she was going to make Lady Death look nuanced and if it had been 10 years later she'd be primarily known for porn fanart. A great wet dream but that's it.

>>153179327
Linsner is a great artist but the comic itself is just air

>>153179327
Darkchylde was probably worse though
Bad girls in general were mostly trash in the 90's but Darkchylde was like that local trailer trash's sex tape that got big in your city but just quietly faded into obscurity levels of trashy
You think Randy Queen freaked out when Magik came back?

>>153179623
>>153179327
I probably have more lenient standards when it comes to obscure small publisher and indie publisher comics than most Anons (who actually do read comics)
Bad girls don't really interest me but I'm kind of thinking about reading Dawn and maybe storytiming it
I know it's better that I just read it myself and make my own opinion but I just want to ask, is Dawn just "bland" outside of the art or is it like other "artist driven comics" that got flack at the time where it fundamentally fails numerous aspects of basic writing do's and don'ts?

>>153179728
I don't know if I'd call it bland, it's too unusual for that, some of the setpieces are interesting and it's memorable. It just fails in plot which is vague and pretentious, you can tell Linsner just had a bunch of cool shit he wanted to draw and the story was secondary. I have a soft spot for bad girl comics (Dawn isn't really a bad girl incidentally, and has little personality one way or the other), I like Chaos! comics and Darkchylde. Dawn is the worst written of any of the popular ones of that era.

>>153178612
I actually owned this back in the day, I definitely spanked it to the hot ladies top ten before, as a wee lad.

Wizard magazine was so fucking great. I lived in a shitty rural part of Washington and all the little convenience stores near me didn't get regular, sequential comics, but they would always have new issues of wizard. I lost the collect I had but I must have had thirty or forty issues at some point, plus a bunch of the specials.

I have an odd nostalgia for the late-90's "bad girl" era of comics, I got a catalog randomly in the mail in 1998 for Anotheruniverse.com , and they were really pushing those books at the time. Fathom was on the cover, Red Monika had the biggest tits I'd ever seen in a comic, Danger Girl had three sexy girls for the price of one, it was basically porn to me.

In a world of badgirls, coming off Batman Returns, Catwoman was THE badgirl. the Balent comic really made her a star in the 90's. Wild to think DC would basically figuratively(and literally) throw that whole era away because it was misogynistic according to some guy who had Selina fuck old men.

I can't remember the image but I remember seeing some poll Marvel ran in maybe the mid or mid-late '90s and one of them was most popular heroine or something and Rogue was far and away number 1. She's pretty much always been the most popular female X-Men member and arguably their most popular heroine in spite of how much they'd try and push Storm or someone like that.

>>153179113
Her being there makes sense when you see that the guy drawing the images for the article is her creator so he was probably allowed to throw her in there as a form of advertising.

>>153192034

Storm is more popular than Rogue. Even Psylocke was more popular than her in the late 90's.

>>153194997
Other way around for me. Dodson got to a certain Adam Hughes-tier in the late 90s- early 00s. But Hughes had already surpassed that phase and Dodson devolved from there.

>>153195086
Nope. Storm always good pushed because she was black and because Claremont was sexually attracted to her. Psylocke got pushed because she was the closest thing Marvel had to a sexy warrior bad girl. But Rogue was always the one fans actually gravitated to.

Gambit and Rogue have always been extremely popular and it's not hard to see why. For boys, Rogue is pretty but she has the vulnerable "Ah can't touch anyone even though ah wanna!" thing so they can imagine being the one to save her and be her first while Gambit is a cool handsome chad. Girls loved them because Rogue is basically the shoujo heroine they could self-insert as and she was tied to the rogueish and charming bad boy with a heart that they thought was hot.

>>153195190
nta, but you are wrong.Gambit and Rogue are popular because they were featured prominently in the 90's cartoon. When Gambit started to being removed from high landmark projects like the X trilogy, the Evolution cartoon and such, his popularity plummeted to the ground.

>>153185650
>>153185671
Jeez, these are gooood.

Also very, VERY 90s.

>>153195327
No, Gambit they tried removing Gambit and intentionally tanking his popularity presumably because a lot of creatives at Mavel viewed him as emblematic of the icky '90s dark ages. It never actually worked though and he's never stopped being popular. Being in the '90s cartoons helped and was likely how a lot of kids were first exposed ot them but it was the tragic romance aspect that kept people into them. They were cool, they were hot and Rogue's nature meant their relationship always had sexual tension where they wanted intimacy but were unable to find fulfillment which is something teenagers of both genders would be able to relate to.

Kind of like how Kitty was popular because she was a cute girl with similar interests to the teenagers reading and her popularity fell off once that went away and she grew up. I'd say being stuck in Excalibur didn't help but it did nothing to kill Nightcrawler's popularity because he never lost the core of what readers found appealing, same as Rogue and Gambit. Kitty did when she left the X-Men so peoples' interest left as well.

>>153194997
My thoughts exactly

>>153185635
What it look like inside?

>>153195123
Dodson can at least draw an interior. Hughes hasn't drawn one in 35 years.

>>153195616
Rogue first romance was with Magneto, then she had a crush with Longshot and then another romance with Joseph. Gambit love life wasn't even tied to her until the 90's and then after he became a no show in the other X-men media, their romance sunked like the Titanic with Gambit popularity.
At this point Gambit is probably not even a top 5 more popular X-man.

>>153195190
You can't use popularity polls to judge anything other than whose fans care the most to vote.

>>153195086
From my anecdotal experience, girls/women absolutely loved Rogue and the Rogue/Gambit dynamic, hated den mother/queen bee Jean and didn't think anything about Storm at all, she was just invisible.
>>153196160
She had a brief flirtation with Magneto that was pushed entirely by Jim Lee's art, Claremont didn't even acknowledge it in the dialogue. Joseph happened later in the 90s after the AoA Magneto/Rogue romance. In the early 90s through the mid-90s they were a will they/won't they item until they decided on "won't" for a while until Bill Jemas became president of Marvel and he decided they were "the" X-Men couple and had Claremont get them back together. Jemas was fired after a few years which allowed them to break them up again.
For other media, the movies' rationalization for not using him was that he was "too similar to Wolverine" in terms of being an edgy loner and he didn't really fit the school setting for Evolution though they did eventually bring him in as an adult.

>>153200536

Yes but I think that anon's point is that Wolverine is Canadian

>>153207417
I think it’s meant to be in terms of Storm’s theatrical news and grandeur . Back in the 90s while RuPaul was known as a cross dresser/drag queen, it was a common perception of him was that he could pass for a woman decently enough that it’d be a shock to a lot of people who just saw photos that he wasn’t. It helps that this was the era of blown out, airbrushed modeling photos and off the heals of models like Grace Jones who he was a parody of.
Also Tigra is hardly furry. No one was thinking like that in the 90s before the internet got everyone on high furry alert. Her art of the time looks nothing like furry art of the era either.

Hughes drew a whole fucking before Watchment miniseries, but it was Doctor Manhattan so no one cares.
I don't know why he chose the blue naked guy when he's known as a good girl artist, maybe he thought he was playing against type?
But it was four whole issues he drew, inked and oversaw the coloring by Laura Martin - very time consuming work for him. And there's some sexy women here and there. But between the fact that it's not in his typical wheelhouse, BW being wholly unnecessary, and Doctor Manhattan in particular probably having some of the least necessary details in his backstory, it went by like nothing 15 years ago.
Then he wrote and drew a Betty and Veronica series. Beautiful art, but again, bizarre choice. Archie girls whole appeal is the Archie style, drawing them realistically makes them just girls. And they're still meant to be teenagers here, while Adam Hughes clearly uses women in their 20's onward as reference. It feels like he's doing a TV high school thing, like he's trying to do some normie high school SoL/ drama or whatever, and it's just kinda weird because who wanted this?
If he ever even started it, somewhere out there there's All-Star Batgirl pages he was meant to do with Geoff Johns. That seems like an obvious project(seemingly no relation to All Star Batman from Miller and it's Batgirl). Shame it never materialized.
