New "Morbius: The Living Vampire" ongoing

It was at the height of the consumer bubble.

The old look is fine when done by an artist who won't exaggerate that damned collar. I haven't been bothered by it in any of his recent appearances.

Even with the focus on Morbius, who's hoping to see the Legion of Monsters pop up?

I never understood how he could fly superman style even though he got his powers from a bat and bats have wings.

Also, every character assumed he was immortal even though he never demonstrated it simply because he was vampire-like.

Some psionic nonsense. Just an excuse to have him fly.

Plaaaaaaasma! I thought Morbius was the dumbest character ever after his appearances in that cartoon. They really f***ed him up.

I'm not hoping for that... because the writer already said they're going to factor in somehow! Seriously, I wish they'd just given us a Legion of Monsters ongoing, but I guess this is the next best thing.

w00t! More Manphibian!

They did change it for the last series in the 90's.

I don't mind the original one. The only dated part about it is the giant 70's collar. In the recent Lizard arc, Camuncoli made it smaller and it looked fine.

I read those 90s Morbius comics.

I never read much with Morbius. I only knew about him from those trading card sets Marvel put out in the '90s and the Spider-Man cartoon. That Legion of Monsters mini by Hopeless and Doe really got me interested in that group of characters, though.

[Thwip!]

I'm very excited for this

 

[bored]

I'm a little nervous as to how big this will turn out. That pic of him in sweats, beckoning you to him, is more weird than cool. But hey, new Morbius title!

 

[NDX]

Wow... comics were priced at $2.75 in 1992?

Or at least Morbius #1 was... and people complain about the prices nowadays?

Hey, that came polybagged with 1/6th of a poster! It was worth it! Plus the price was for the Midnight Sons crossover, which lead to the 4 new series at the time, Morbius, Darkhold: Pages from the Book of Sin, Nightstalkers and Ghost Rider/Blaze: Spirits of Vengeance.

Yeah, okay, it was not worth the price.

Still looking forward to this new series, though. Was always a fan or Morbius', so I will be following this one.

Yeah me too, ever since the 90s Spider-Man series
