I really wish they would revisit this property. Especially with Spider-man 2099 showing success with his new series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978439808729663406.post-46320549489112850282010-05-10T14:05:27.996-04:002010-05-10T14:05:27.996-04:00i loved this series. i have every issue plus all t...i loved this series. i have every issue plus all the specials. it was def. a favorite of mine when it first came out.mekilepohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502287518119596249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978439808729663406.post-41977398697910931622010-05-04T11:22:05.928-04:002010-05-04T11:22:05.928-04:00I teach 14 and 15 year olds, which puts them well ...I teach 14 and 15 year olds, which puts them well out of having read any of the 2099 books when they were originally on the shelves. However, a friendly reader of my journal comic donated a copy of Spider-Man 2099 to my classroom library a few weeks ago and it's quickly become one of my classroom's most read and requested books, to the point where I went out and picked up X-Men 2099 Vol. 1 for the library as a companion book.<br /><br />Talking with one of my students, he pointed out that one of the reasons he likes the 2099 books is that they remind him of Batman Beyond, which was still airing in the afternoons when he was a kid. This same student also said something like (and I'm paraphrasing here) "When I read a current Spider-Man book, even if I don't NEED to know what happened earlier in the comics, I know that stuff happened before. Nothing happened before in X-Men 2099 and I can start from scratch."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
