Guardians of the Galaxy (1990) #34

Written by Michael Gallagher and pencilled by Kevin West.

After reading The Crossing, I am starting to think Rita DeMara should have stayed in the 30th Century.

Elsewhere, subplots are a-brewing.

It looks like Rancor's Youngblood's Disease is flaring up again. The main symptom is disappearing pupils. It comes and goes, depending on the artist.

I see Rancor is familiar with the custom of plotting behind the other villain’s back.

Argh! Now Aleta has Youngblood’s Disease! It’s spreading!

Given everything, Rita would've been a lot safer fading into nigh-total obscurity like Aleta (when's the last time anyone saw her, huh? Or Talon? Or whatsername from Guardians 3000?)
Better obscure than ignominiously dead.


Doom legitimately paying someone a compliment, without even the slightest backhandedness? Maybe he's chan-
"Now, to work these people to death!"
Ah, there we go.
(though for some reason the thought of Doom using reality TV to enslave people just seems so... lowbrow for him.)

[thanekos]

Doom's gratuitous vocabulary word, because " overwork " is clearly an untranslatable concept.

I don’t even know why they brought her back to the 20th century just to die in the Crossing either. Absolutely pointless death of a decent character.

That is so unlike Doom to just act like he can go through thousands of people over and over. Sure, he'd run them like slaves, but normally he'd feed them and such, not just work them to death.

Karoshi! I know that game.

Just wanted to mention that you're mixing up your "clawed characters who've never been seen outside of this series." Rancor is the Wolverine descendent with the disappearing pupils. Talon is the catman who can click his talons as projectile weapons.
