The problem was, the concept was great, but the writers had no idea what to really do with the character. 1st, they tried the whole "Thunderbolt Ross" kind of thing, and then decided they needed to fight super-baddies and so on. Too bad....spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14576369979304207262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-22311662511012311812011-11-15T08:51:46.798-06:002011-11-15T08:51:46.798-06:00Thanks, Doug--it's always good to know that so...Thanks, Doug--it's always good to know that somebody's listening, although of course I don't expect you to respond to all of my after-the-fact comments. Am certainly enjoying working my way through the history of your informed and highly entertaining blog. Over at Marvel University (where my input will be appearing with greater frequency), there seems to be a bit of a bias against MTU and its sister book, MTIO, especially for the admittedly all-too-common plot device of the two heroes having a misunderstanding and duking it out before uniting against the foe. But despite some low points, I found the format intrinsically fun, and am glad I'm not the only one.Matthew Bradleyhttp://bradleyonfilm.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-77047049428154808642011-11-14T17:20:58.430-06:002011-11-14T17:20:58.430-06:00Matthew --

Check it out! As for Deathlok, I still regret his under- and mis-use. That was a strip with real promise, and although I'm not normally a Janson fan, he was well suited to it.Matthew Bradleyhttp://bradleyonfilm.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-47290460284063748972010-05-17T10:28:34.604-05:002010-05-17T10:28:34.604-05:00I still hold that Deathlok was the character that ...I still hold that Deathlok was the character that led to many of the great character creations in the '80s and '90s for the super-hero genre.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />Steven G.
