@danhimself: I don't know if someone has already answered you, but I would just start with Christopher Eccleston at the beginning of the new series. If you've never seen anything of Doctor Who before it's a good place to start...then you can go catch up on the old shows later (which in my opinion is kind of hard to do since they're all out of order at the moment) although I hear that someday soon they'll be re-releasing the show in order from the start. Any news on that anyone who may know better than I? Anyway...I started watching back when Eccleston first started on the show and I'm hooked now. I find the old shows severely dated and hard to get into, but that's because I'm much younger than all the people who grew up with Tom Baker and the other 8 previous doctors. It's much easier to jump on board with Eccleston.
@MysterioMaximus: "This character surpasses pop culture and enters modern mythology. They can’t do this…or fans will revolt. Pssh! Money and greed destroys everything."
Exactly! D.C. were the ones who were the greedy ones for not giving Schuster and Siegel what they owed them, not the families of Schuster and Siegel for trying to reclaim a family legacy. Superman was already a pop culture icon before DC and WB got their hands on him.
I wasn't a fan of the Children of the Vault. I'm not a big Mike Carey fan. I don't like the directions he takes his stories...but I put up with them. The story I thought was the lamest as of late was Claremont's X-Men Forever. I like Claremont, but he hasn't written a good story in 5 years. I hate to say that, but X-Men forever just sucked.
