THE FINAL TRUTH OF WHY COMIC BOOKS ARE TRASH TO GOOD CHRISTIANS SINCE THE '90S!

The honest real answer to anyone who used to love comic books of Marvel and DC and, AND...

AND....love good heroes, morality and clarity of good plots and storylines....


(good explanation is to see "Bob's" video on Why the 90s almost killed Comic books".  That is not an exact title quote, but do a search on Yahoo of "what happened to Marvel Comics" and you will find a lot of good article.

SO....In the '90s, in my assessment...here is what happened... this is I believe the most accurate truth!

The artists reigned in supreme and the publishers were greedy and undisciplined.  they decided to believe that the world consisted of darker and edgier immoral adults who wanted adulterous, non moral themes, that wanted edgier anti heroes and characters who were deeply flawed and darker. They believed that making comic books more relevant would sell better. They decided to become preachers, and make comic books more relevant to the immoral people, the non christians, the people who did not like heroes but rebellion and punkish edgeir angry crowd. So, they catered to the darker and more immoral culture, believing that was what American was all about. And they were successful in transforming a comic book culture into trash. Now, when I go to conventions or on internet blogs or meet comic book fans in stores, it is always the christian haters, the immature arrogant younger people. the older traditional comic book fans who loved heroes, cleaner art and not the Xenophobic, anti government, anti heroe and non adulterous heroe comic book character, - those conservative, "sane" and intelligent older comic book fans are hard to find. I can never openly speak my mind or share my views without attack, mocking or rebuff. Nobody wants to hear about good, old american values of justice, and morality. they love relativism and confusion, and darkness. they want big, complicated plots with special FX and not good, entertaining plots like you used to see on TV's Batman series in the 60s. Everything has to be BIG or challenging or the heroes lack loyalty to previous Avengers members or to their wives or girlfriends. They messed up Spiderman in the 90s, and the Heroes Reborn series sucked.

Gone were the moral, true heroe characters who were not arrogant, young punks or edgier and rude. The worst evidence of this ruining of moral good clean heroe characters was when they invented the ULTIMATE Marvel comcis series. Soon most marvel and DC comic book fans were punks, immature and dirty immoral sexual adults who could not recognize good art or good plots if they were paid. These were the only kind of fans buying comic books. Good people like me who were christians and liked the original storylines, original uniforms of heroes, and original Marvel and DC universe, dropped out. It was no fun anymore trying to be friends with antisocial and immature people like that. Even breathe one bit of christian values or purity or "old school" art appreciation, and you got cussed at and mocked. Open sexuality was cool in their eyes. More sex and more gritty violence. Frank Miller and later, Marvel's Quesada publisher, editor ruined comic books. So did McFarlane and others.

Their idea of what was considered "adult" and later, what was considered a "teenager" really started ruining the COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY and FAN READERS CULTURE.   Many heroes were killed off, sometimes rebooted and brought back.  Confusion storylines and poor writing just so the arrogant, overconfident "big name" artist could create his storylines.

I never found "edgier" storylines and "adult" sexual and over violent themes to be very entertaining but really offensive.

In short, as a christian, and as a family values loving American, I did not want to have anything to do nor loved, the "popular" edgier and younger culture out there.  I did not want the comic books to preach to me about modern values.  I did not need to have my beautiful and fun comic books become more "relevant" just to appease teenagers and immoral adults who wanted to see more sex and liberalism.  I wanted to see good "four color comics" and traditional heroes and american values of good guys versus the villains in my storylines.

Listen, as a CONSERVATIVE, FAMILY VALUES CHRISTIAN who believes in tough justice and also good "sciency" fiction art like Kirby, Starlin, Jerry Bingham, and Byrne and Austin, I had to ask, "Where was the good art and storylines like in Iron Man, issues 125 to 165?"  I was disgusted.. Where was the good stories like Roy Thomas used to write?

I have dropped out of comics.  I don't care about the money and "collectors" issues.  I used to buy comics for the good storylines and good artwork and the good fight scenes.  But when they start breaking up and reshuffling the Fantastic Four, Avengers, and messed up the mind and loves and social life of The Thing (Ben Grimm) and when they introduced the stupid Skrulls storyline where heroes were actually villians, that was another sign that comic books were for darker, stupdier and immoral fans and a non christian culture! Yeah, many people dropped out. THE PROBLEM IS YOU WON'T HEAR THIS HONEST TRUTH FROM COMIC BOOK BLOGS OR "CRITICS" ONLINE AT ALL. You only hear this if you talk to older comic book collectors and fans who somtimes appear at conventions or comic book shops. But they are hard to find.
