Plot by Stern, script by Macchio.

Roger Stern is pretty much gone at this point, so who even knows how much if his original plot remains. Assembling a group of villains around a theme sounds more like a Gruenwald thing. (See also, the Serpent Society.)

A few weeks ago, Red and I were returning from a trip to the Midwest, and as per tradition we stopped at the Florida Welcome Center just past the Georgia/Florida border (bathrooms! free orange juice!). As I was taking my complimentary cup of juice, I noticed this promotional comic sitting nearby, and took one on a whim. Red took one look at it and started laughing: “You have GOT to share this!”

So, without further adieu…

( A legend is born... )

12 pages, not counting ads and the obligatory "Go to captaincitrus.com and explore for more super-powered fun!" I am curious, though, that the cover indicates that this was "Custom Edition 2". Have to wonder what #1 was...?

While the Guardians of the Galaxy recently relaunched with a new look and creative team, with little connection to the previous, there has been published an issue - a one-shot - featuring the team as Al Ewing left them.

Only... don't get your hopes up. Yes, those are the character designs, but the line-up is the movie cast (plus Nova). No Hercules, no Marvel Boy, no Moondragon or Phyla. It's more of an inventory story than any sort of tribute to that era of the team.

And Drax says: "Ohmigod".

Also out recently is the second issue of the current series, where Gamora and Nebula have a little sisterly bonding while negotiating with new alien life.

The comic book tie-in to the 90s X-Men animated series outlasted the animated series itself, at least for a while, telling series set after the final episode.

Eventually, though, sales dictated that the comic needed to end too. When that happened, the creative team decided to put the final bow on this universe in a very unexpected fashion. As you'll see, things got a little crazy.

Well, I'll say one thing for the Identity Crisis posts, it's making me want to post more NON Identity Crisis stuff.

"I'll bet the first comic I lay hands on in the cathedral-like vault which is my comic collection (ahem!) is more fun that that!" and by a weird coincidence (and it really was) the first comic I laid my hands on was actually one of the very very first American comics I ever bought with my own pocket money.

So from the dim and distant past of 1979... I bring you a story involving Ben Grimm taking a shower, a hero wearing a protagonist over his crotch, gratuitious authorial inserts and a shapeshifting alien with a low boredom threshold and a very short attention span.

Yup! It's the Thing and the Impossible Man in....

( Happiness is a Warm Alien! )

In the past, I've mentioned that the Flash's "Rogues Gallery", only really became the bunch of... if not exactly friends, then vaguely companionable allies, in a retcon when Wally became the Flash.

However, I do love the concept of criminals not all being monstrous, antisocial loners, and of course, this being comics, someone else did it earlier.

And better yet, the group I have in mind debuted in a story featuring not only Ben Grimm, the ever lovin' Thing, but one of my favourite C-list superheroes (here depicted in chibi mode by the redoubtable Katie Cook)

STINGRAY! :)

( Marvel Two In One - An unappreciated title )

Found this in one of my longboxes and having fond memories of the insanity it contained, thought I'd share.

"Marvel Two-In-One" (with regular star The Thing) was a sort of companion title to "Marvel Team-Up" (regular star Spider-Man) and both were sort of an answer to "The Brave and the Bold" (regular star Batman) and "DC Comics Presents" (Regular star Superman).

Take a widely known, ground level hero and add lesser known (or one not noted for solo aoppearances) hero, add plot, sit back and enjoy.

MTiO produced some excellent stories under regular writer Mark Gruenwald, notably the Project Pegasus Saga, the debut of the second Serpent Squad (Which would later grow into the Serpent Society) and others, but this a fun, done-in-one little romp, featuring a guy made of rocks, and a guy with wings, fighting armoured attackers after a night at the disco...

So from October 1980, welcome to
