Man, Luke Cage sure went through a lot of crappy revisions before his current acceptable take.
I actually quite liked Pasqual Ferry's update of the character in the 90s Heroes for Hire series. I preferred him in the yellow shirt from earlier issues, but otherwise, I thought Ferry did a good job of keeping trademarks like the sideburns and chain belt without it looking entirely dated. Meanwhile, Luke Cage is currently a random goateed bald black guy in jeans and (sometimes) a shirt. He's just a dude, indistinguishable from several other black heroes in plainclothes. I don't recognize him as the character I grew up with anymore, and am completely disinterested in his current adventures.
Amazing as always
