Quote: I've been revisiting (and visiting for the first time) Marvel's -1 books which were coverdated for the summer of 1997. The only ones I picked up related to titles I was already collecting like Generation X, can't remember any others. Quote: First of all, these books had a hand in starting the untraditional numbering of comic books, which I've grown to hate. I know stuff like Tales To Astonish becoming The Incredible Hulk happened but after all the #0's and #-1's, all the reboots and returns to the old numbering have taken the magic out of anniversary issues. But anyway...Zero issues became big. Image had a hand in it when they jumped all their single-digit books forward to #25 and then back again, just a little preview of things to come. DC topped it with issue #1,000,000 of every title. | |||||||
