He/she was in For Your Eyes Only.<br /><br />I preferred the X-Men to the Doom Patrol, although Arnold Drake, who wrote the latter, ended up writing the former. Strange that, eh? Preferred Swamp Thing to Man Thing, to be honest.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-32383100318535752932015-08-16T04:22:14.480+01:002015-08-16T04:22:14.480+01:00Nowadays, people might think it was a series about...Nowadays, people might think it was a series about Caitlyn Jenner, Tula, and Christine Jorgenson. "The Ex-Men." <br /><br />The original X-Men comic debuted a few months after the Doom Patrol. Just as Swamp Thing and Man-Thing premiered about two months apart. All sheer coincidence, of course.

I was only 8 and I loved them. Whenever I re-read them today, I'm an 8 year old boy again. I never really got into the new X-Men for some reason - not sure why.

When it was rebooted, I became a huge fan. I'm not always in favor of series reboots, but this is one of the few that I really got on board with. Now it seems like they do them for no good reason.
