(Remember SPAWN? That movie came out way too early. It had terrible effects and even worse acting.)
I never liked the Fantastic Four, I never really liked super hero teams. I found them lame, that was the one thing I did not like about Xmen. Wolverine and Magneto saved that series.
My favorite comic book character has been Namor, the Submariner. (I have a HUGE comic collection. I have some comics that date back to the 60's!)
Namor, the Human torch, and Captin Ameria are classics. They fought the Nazi's and evil Japanese! Namor was always my favorite. Unlike most superheros, he didn't try to live with humans or blend in, he lived under the sea. It was a very easy comic to read. The submariner has so much history ( he and the human torch are the oldest Marverl Heros)
One thing about X-Men the movie, that I hated with the passion, was all that stupid symbolic rasist crap. It came off way too strong. It smacked the audience so many times. Ya we get it, nobody liked them, they're mutants. The thing is, that is not racisim, that is just a race worrying for their life. This movie is telling us we should accept people who can wield uncanny powers that could ruin, invade, and control peoples lives! Yikes, it's just like black and white people disputes. I hated it.
Besides Namor, another comic I enjoyed was the SILVER SURFER. His origin is great. A slave to the most powerful titan in the world, a giant who eats entire galaxies!
I want to see the SILVER SURFER and NAMOR on screen.

You know whats more fun than collecting comics? Collecting failed comics. I got into that for about 2 years (I had a violent comic addiction that lasted 7 years). There are so many great comics out there that did not make it past 2 issues. One of my favorites was the HUMAN FLY. It's from '77, I bought it for 75 cents back in '93. Real steal. It's about some circus dude, I think he was the original Dare Devil. I also bought, in mint from a garage sale, the frist 4 issues of WOLVERINE 1981 series! Wolverine, sans Xmen, is so much better.
