<p>For me, the very best, or the only Iron Fist comicsbooks I read 40 years ago, and still do occaisonally, was from Marvel Premiere #15 from 1974 (translated to danish in late 1975), artist Gil Kane and till Iron Fist #15 from 1977, artist John Byrne. Those stories wee also black and white in the danish magazine Kung Fu Magazine, where other stories included was Master Of Kung Fu: Shang Chi where my favorite artist was/is Paul Gulacy.</p>

<p>If you like me like/love comic-books, further information is that my absolute favorite artists are Gene Colan and his run on The Tomb Of Dracula, and Mike Ploog's awesome takes on Werewolf By Night, Ghostrider and especially Frankenstein.</p>
<p>But also Big John Buscema's run on Fantastic Four are imo some way better than even Jack Kirby's run on that series. And the only great spiderman-artist is John Romita snr.</p>
<p>Whereas in DC, I'm especially a fan of Curt Swan's Superman-stories from the early 70's.</p>

<p>Imo, any series or movie starring Tom Hardy is worth checking out (Taboo).</p>
<p>Yes, it was great at last having a great Western-series. GOT was a very close second for me, perhaps it should had been at the top, but it's some time ago, I saw it, and Godless I saw a few weeks ago, so there.</p>
<p>If you haven't seen Fargo yet, you're in for a treat, especially the first 2 seasons.</p>

<p>I was actually a bit dissapointed in second season of Stranger Things. I had expected more. Season 1 is the better one for me.</p>
<p>I kind of regret doing a Top 5 over movies, because looking at the list, it could had been so much better. None of these movies are among the quality of for example The Revenant, which I think was at the top of my list last year?</p>
<p>It's just, that IF I've seen better movies than those on my list, I've forgotten about it.</p>
<p>And these days, I usually only go to the Cinema if it's a Marvel or DC-comic-movie.</p>
<p>Thor Ragnarok was funny, but not as good as Captain America 2. </p>
<p>Wonder Woman is probably the best DC-movie yet in recent years, but that doesn't say much does it?!</p>
<p>Logan was okay, but not as good as X-Men II.</p>
<p>GOTG II was not as good as GOTG I, but still rather funny.</p>
<p>IT was just better, than I'd expected, but I did NOT expect much.</p> Haven't seen Twin Peaks, yet.…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2017-12-19:6060463:Comment:1528942017-12-19T00:18:29.762ZYngve J. Chapleenhttp://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/YngveJChapleen
<p>Haven't seen Twin Peaks, yet. Would like to.</p>
<p>Same here about the Iron Fist. I'm not sure which comic books are you talking about, but the Black & White Magazines, drawn by Rudy Nebres were my favorite comic books. And yes, I was too disappointed by the series. Complete rubbish. Won't waste my time on second season, either. Defenders were bad too. The only connecting series I might give a second chance is, Luke Cage.</p>

<p>Oh, man Godless is sooooo good. The best western-anything since the spaghetti westerns, of course. For me it was better than Westworld and I liked that one too. I doubt it will beat GOT for me, since I haven't seen the new series, yet. Stranger Things was also good, and I'll start watching Fargo pretty soon from the beginning. The only thing I don't know from your list is Taboo.</p>

<p>The only movie that might wedge itself in the list is the one I haven't seen and probably won't see it until it gets a DVD release. Hopefully next year.

<p>Biggest dissapointments 2017.</p>
<p>5. I can't help but think, that Steven Wilson's To The Bone-album is a dissapointment. I had expected more. A new Steven Wilson-album not in my Top 3 of albums is not normal.</p>
<p>4. Twin Peaks-TV series season 3. I didn't really know, what to expect, but what I got was a complete waste of my time. I'm sure some see this as pure genius. Not me!</p>

<p>3. Big Wreck's newest album should had been 2017's first good album, but it's a complete bore. I'm not holding my breath for a new album, that's any good. I've lost faith in that band.</p>
<p>2. Iron Fist-TV series: I was a biiig fan of the comicbook Iron Fist back in 1976-1977, and I was thrilled, when I read, that Netflix was producing a series, especially after 2 very good Daredevil Netflix-series. What a let down!!! The actor playing Fist is absolutely lousy, and the story and "special effects" are lousy as well. I don't think, I will sit through a second season (which I kind of did, seeing The Defenders season 1. Could also had been on this list)</p>
<p>1. Justice League the movie. 2 different directors made a complete mess of this movie. The actor playing Superman apparently had a mustache, which was digitally removed, only it looked really, really bad. The special-effects was at times sooo bad, just like the villain. And the actor playing The Flash was definitely in the wrong movie. I waited most of the year for this movie, and I got this piece of crap.</p> Best movies 2017 (I'm a class…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2017-12-18:6060463:Comment:1528822017-12-18T10:04:08.655ZNiels (Mod)http://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/Niels
