Personally I am a big fan of the Phantom but I haven't seen anyone talk about him on comicvine so I was just wondering if anyone actually likes the Phantom and if you do please comment or reply to this topic. Thanks.

YOu mean this guy?

hey awesome good to know.

My memories of the Phantom are from Defenders of the Earth and a guy I used to work for was obssessed with the character... but I've never actually read any.  Thankfully I didn't see the film.

Not a big fan. He was OK.

i actually liked the movie, that was the only thing i have ever seen of him

was a big fan growing up but he is a bit dated now

I loved Phantom 2040.

I subscribed to The Phantom in my early teens. One of the big regrets of my life. I could have spent those years in the Marvel and/or DC universe.  
 
I could go on and on about the things I find awful about the The Phantom, but I'm going to limit myself to Eden. You know, the island were all the animals live in peace and harmony, because the Phantom trained them that way. Yup, It's exactly like those Christian pamphlets you've laughed at.  
  
One more thing actually: After having read The Phantom for so many years I still didn't feel any sort of emotional bond to the character. And it's not because he's too cool and mysterious to reveal his personality, no, he is just plain boring.  
Oh and also, he is greedy, have you seen the cave where he hides a bunch of artifacts that belong in a museum? Man, he is a dick.
 
My apologies to the OP, but I felt I had to speak up.

saw the cartoon and the film as i remember it was pretty good. I'll probably watch the series thats coming out.

I like him, and my dad used to read the Fantomen reprints back in India. Problem is, he was pretty bland till the Last Phantom series.

I am a die hard fan of Phantom. Have been reading phantom since child hood. Currently following the last phantom series religiously. Alex Ross and Dynamite has an awesome work going on.

As always, The Ghost Who Walks Always Rocks!!

@kashyaprn: True the new series is awesome and the Phantom is still an awesome character

I believe I still have some of the original Gold Key Phantoms in my longboxes.

the present series is ok, i really dont like the killer edge they had in the begining, and i hate how they made it so the 1st phantom killed the pirate, other than that, pretty good series

ah, Phantom, the jungle Batman.

Not that bad.

Please don't insult my religion.

The Phantom is alright, I'm not the biggest fan but I've only liked the character when the storyline takes place in the past or during modern times (1950s) when they have to rely more on there skills, wits and experience... and not advance tech which is why I didn't like the one from 2040. I didn't like his character every much, I don't remember him getting any training like the others, he almost says his name in front of everyone when he's in the costume, he was pretty weak and he whined a little too much.

In episode The Second Time Around where he sees and even meets one of his ancestors (the 20th Phantom) and that Phantom kicked ass, he was a real tough guy. I just kept thinking, make the series about that Phantom!

The Phantom has a licensed board game on kickstarter at the moment
