I'm from 86 myself, though the earliest comics I read was 2000-ish, when my English was starting and my cousin introduced my to his collection. Mysteriously, lots of Milestone.

End of the eighties was pretty good. The big three were rebooted, Flash was a playboy with three new girls per issue (better than it sounds). Firestorm, Suicide Squad, Justice League International, Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, Question. In the nineties, they tried to update it. A lot of the guys now headlining the series - Lee, Liefeld, Lobdell - rose to fame in that era, with WildStorm.

Pouches: Pouches everywhere. Not just the utility belt, but on leg straps, across the chest, on the ankle, upper arm. Everywhere. I also forgot to mention guns with weird long oval barrels that didn't fire bullets but LAZORS. Because they're homicidal maniacs, but family friendly homicidal maniacs.

I've only seen the first 10 minutes of the Gen 13 movie. Wow, wtf. I still need to finish it someday. The WildC.A.T.s animated series is hilariously bad, though. Especially the theme song.
