Bite. For your right. To party.

Despite my best efforts, Chew still seems to be a title without much hype on Scans_Daily. Considering that I'm trade-waiting, that's not such a bad thing.

However, the most recent issue of Chew was where I made an exception and picked up the single issue. You see, this issue is from Spring 2012.

Chew #27 is part 2 of the not-yet-begun Space Cakes arc and follows on from #18 and sets up for #19 in no real way at all.

The premise is largely the same: There's an agent of a US government group, investigating strange stuff and is themselves a bit strange. Except this time we're following Toni Chu of NASA, twin sister of Tony Chu of the FDA.

( And this is her backstory )

If only I didn't have to wait about a year for #28 to come out, since this ended on a cliffhanger

Klingons? Wusses! Predators? Lightweights! You want badass, there's only one real option

send for THE ACROYEARS!

Going through an old box of junk I came across this little gem from 1980 which I felt I had to share; It's from one of a series of digest sized, softback (And stapled rather than bound), black and white reprint magazines that the UK had for a while. There was one for the Fantastic Four going back to their earliest issues (And which were my introduction to Jack Kirby (and let me tell you, the black and white format REALLY worked on that), another for Spider-Man, one called "Chiller" which was horror themed, and this one...



which reprinted Marvel's Micronauts and the old Battlestar Galactica comic (Then in vogue)

To place the events under the cut in context, the malevolent Baron Karza has been defeated, Homeworld has been freed from his grasp and the plucky bunch of resistance fighters known as the Micronauts have disbanded for some much needed R&R, recovery or to deal with pressing matters at home.

The ranks of the fearsome Acroyears, the ultimate warriors of the Microverse played a large part in that victory, led by King Acroyear himeself (who regained his stolen throne from his treacherous brother Shaitan) and now they head for home... but what sort of home breeds warriors of their ilk?
