Line It Is Drawn: Classic Cartoons Go '97 Like X-Men

Comic Should Be Good's ongoing 'The Line It Is Drawn' feature is tapping into the same energy that made X-Men '97 work—asking artists to reimagine classic cartoons through a '90s lens. The concept invites fans to submit suggestions on CSBG's Twitter, then featured artists interpret those picks weekly. It's participatory and plays into the current nostalgia cycle that's got everyone rethinking what made cartoons from that era pop. The recurring feature format keeps the well from running dry.
ComicsBuzz Take
The '97-ification trend is less about actual 1990s aesthetics and more about audiences wanting that specific era's storytelling density back—which is a more interesting cultural signal than pure nostalgia.
