The problem post Byrne is... each writer drastically had their own ideas, and treated the characters as if they had no previous stories, or utterly mis-handled their personalities, and some writers seemed hell bent on getting rid of original characters to bring in newly created characters... then other writers tried to fix that by mixing it... then they had quite a few questionable artists... then got caught up in gimmicks... then...

Yeah. It's sort of this chaotic train wreck that just goes off the rails REALLY quick, but the fall all happens in very, very, very, very slow motion. Like you're in this train, plunging to your doom, watching everything just slowly fall apart...

I agree with Tawmis.

One thing that pissed me off with the Mantlo run is he admitted in a later interview that he didn't even like superheroes and preferred more monster type stories like Hellboy.

If that's the case then fine go do Hellboy and don't screw with my superhero team!
