"Always good to read your stuff, Chris."
Chris Fluit replied to Chris Fluit's discussion Recent Comics and Current Events"I haven't written a column in a long time due to a big bike trip and a new job but I enjoyed these two comics so much, I had to write about them. I hope you enjoy the column!"
Chris Fluit posted a discussionRecent Comics and Current Events
Recent Comics & Current Events I usually don’t like it when comic books become overtly political. I realize that’s not a universal opinion. Paul O’Brien of “X-Axis” and “House to Astonish” has chastised X-Men comics for not reflecting current events quickly enough. But, for me, comics are often my escape. I keep up with political events and deal with plenty of real-world issues in my job. I don’t need them in comics. Plus, little things like story and character are often sacrificed…See More

Luke Blanchard replied to Chris Fluit's discussion Catching Up with Old Friends"The feature usually ran two pages and was in painted colour.

Luke Blanchard replied to Chris Fluit's discussion Catching Up with Old Friends"I believe I got to read consecutive issues before I ever got some as they came out.

JohnD replied to Chris Fluit's discussion Catching Up with Old Friends"This article really made me think. I have a literal walk in closet full of "old friends" that I haven't so much as cracked the mylar on in the past six years. They hold a lot of sentimental value.

Chris Fluit replied to Captain Comics's discussion Comics Guide for Aug. 10, 2016"Cap, I had the same reaction to the first Teen Titans: Earth One trade. Couldn't stand it.

Jeff of Earth-J replied to Chris Fluit's discussion Great Comics of the 1990s"That's a great list, Chris. Every title that popped into my head before reading it was included."
Wandering Sensei: Moderator Man replied to Chris Fluit's discussion Great Comics of the 1990s"Speaking of Final Night, I think this was one of the best events DC had in the 90's. Karl Kesel is one of the most underrated writers out there. This showed that he not only loves writing comics, but that he is also a very smart writer."
Don Mankowski replied to Chris Fluit's discussion Catching Up with Old Friends"Reed Crandall illustrated quite a few items in the 1960s Treasure Chest. His was thus the first artist to make an impression on me with his style."

I agree the comments have been bombastic at times, I just hope that others don't paint me with the same brush for engaging in the conversation. Certainly, though I bought comics during the silver age, I don't have any great insight into the people or personalities of the time. Still, I find his condemnation interesting as there may be some grain of truth in it. But I'll never know cause I wasn't around. And it's water under the bridge, after all...
