Man, that reminds me how I once spent a whole weekend rewatching a show just to count how many times they reused the same explosion!

So you're telling me the nostalgia crowd has actually gone back and re-read those issues, or are they just remembering the covers and the animated series? Cause I did the same thing with a bunch of old Wizard magazines and the interiors hit way different once you notice every panel is just Wolverine crouching in the same dramatic pose. The storytelling after 2000 definitely upped the game, especially with pacing and using the page layout to build tension, but maybe that gets overlooked cause it's not as flashy. Do you think the praise is more about the marker of an era rather than the actual art holding up?

Yeah, read somewhere that numbers mess with our heads way more than they should.
