A team of Legionnaires battle the Prophet, a priest given massive powers by a mysterious entity called Omen. A surprisingly disappointing outing from the usually superb creative team of Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen.
READSpace voyager Alpha and his unexpected female companion, Omega, explore a new dimension and are soon tempted by Lucifer. An odd and ultimately preachy Christian comic with some interesting art from writer/artist Al Hartley.
READContrary to its striking cover, this issue actually features three unconnected – and largely uninspired – tales featuring Batman, Aquaman and the Legion of Super-Heroes. From creative talent including Gerry Conway, Paul Levitz, Don Newton and others.
READUnder the influence of Crossfire’s Undertaker Machine, Hawkeye and Mockingbird are soon forced to battle each other to the death. A surprise conclusion helps, but, ultimately, Mark Gruenwald’s auteur opus fails to meet its lofty aspirations.
READA poor-man’s trio of EC-inspired tales from writers Russ Jones and Jack Younger and artists Jerry Grandenetti and Mike Sekowsky.
READSeries host Colonel Whiteshroud explains the Monster Hunters Club to the visiting Countess Von Bludd. While a better debut than sister series Scary Tales, this first issue by the likes of Nicola Cuti, Joe Staton, Wayne Howard and others lacks any real creative spark.
READRevenge arrives from Africa in the form of the Blue Leopard, who stalks the streets of New York seeking Tiger-Man. A subpar outing from comics legends Gerry Conway and Steve Ditko.
READBroadcast journalist Jon Athens wallows in an emotional funk as he covers a local political event involving The Masked Man. B.C. Boyer’s strong visual storytelling can’t save this debut issue’s subpar script.
READWhen a beautiful minstrel is maimed by jealous thieves, a secret paramour and sorceress team to save the future Ironjaw! This final issue – by the creative team of Gary Friedrich and Pablo Marcos – is less offensive but still lacks likability.
READIronjaw saves a wench, becomes a sword for hire, threatens to rape his own sister, then becomes king. Whew. A surprisingly misogynistic outing – even for the ’70s – from the team of Michael Fleisher and Pablos Marcos.
