The comics are getting really good. DC and Marvel buried the hatchet, and now have more crossovers (Perez is doing JLA/Avengers, fanboy heaven right there, Thor vs Hulk, Cap vs Batman, etc), and most of the old writers are being lured back. Lee, Liefied, Smith, are all working for both DC and Marvel IIRC. Magneto is dead, Sentinels are running amok, and all sorts of fun hell is breaking loose last I checked.
DC/Marvel crossovers? Yuck. I really don't need to pick up an X-men comic and have Storm mention "that time we fought Bizarro". Heroes fighting each other is even worse, because it usually implies crappy writing that prevents them from figuring out that they shouldn't be fighting at all.
Also, Liefeld needs to be shot. I had enough of his squinting characters, 2 page spreads with no content, and helmeted bad guys from his run on the New Mutants.
