Hi! Hello! I saw your most recent posting about Miguel. I love when you talk about him lol

So.. free pass to talk more about him? I read up to 3# issue of the vol.1 1992 but I stopped because I saw some people saying it got really bad after the third issue. What's you recommendation?

Thanks 💖

thank u anon he’s my buddy sm2099 is. important 2 me 💞

i’ll be honest not reading after the first three issues is complete and utter bogus i’ve never heard of that before. if someone is telling you not to read volume 1 in a sm2099-based discussion then they do NOT have ur best interests at heart and you should not listen to their opinions fgngddggddth you cannot be an expert in something if u actively refuse to read it and tell others to Not Read It Either so they can’t call you out for making shit up out of pocket all th time, yknow what i’m saying LMAO

yeah v1 drops off in quality after a point, but it certainly isn’t immediately after the origin issues conclude. the first arc (issues #1-10) is imo one of if not The strongest-written in the whole run. now, personally, i don’t think the quality drop is bad enough to warrant Stopping a readthrough until around maybe issue #35ish (out of a 46-issue run), but like. even then, i’m generally an advocate for reading through the whole run at least once just for completionism’s sake. that is VERY much just a Me Thing, though, there is no real right or wrong way to read comics and ultimately what matters most is that u the reader are enjoying it, y/k y/k? you might really really like it or it might not be up your alley at all but you’ll never know if you deny yourself the opportunity to experience it and come to your own judgements, nd all that. me, i’m biased. it’s my favorite thing in the world. the writing is a massive influence on me and my humor today and rick leonardi’s art progression during the time he was on the comic is a particular treat to my comic book nerd-ass. and with al williamson on inks!! god, the lines in the leonardi/williamson era of sm2099 😩
