User blog comment:Thor2000/The Marvel Universe - Take It Or Leave It/@comment-10473115-20150719221142

I can't comment about the contemporary comics but your blog post prompted me to try to recall the first super hero comic book I've read and I'm pretty sure that was, published in Finland at 1980 and bought by me two years later. Of course I've started reading comics with the [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aku_Ankka Donald Duck] as everybody in Finland. But that first Spider-Man comic really got me into Marvel universe and I spent next years trying to collect every Marvel comic published in my country. My absolute favorite was Chris Claremont's start with the X-Men and Jean Grey turning into Phoenix. Those complex (at the time) plot lines really made all the Superman comics, which my brother liked to read, diminish in the comparison. But I don't want to argue, were the older comics better, I think that it's probably my shame that I haven't read much at all anything new.
