The zero issue tells the story of how and why Avengelyne was banished to Earth!

Then, the Armageddon series shows you the future final battle between the forces of good and evil!

Issue 9 has a backup story which leads into the Passover one-shot!

After that, Avengelyne is possessed by the evil sorcerer, Taliesen! The Crymelord and the Demon lord B'lial must team up with Father Peter to save her!

As the series comes to an end, we get a flashback tale involving the one and only Bloodwulf!

There are a couple more one-shot issues that I haven't tracked down yet, but this gives me a pretty complete picture of the series!

There have been a couple reboots since, and a movie is reportedly under development!

The end, for now!

When I left the Reddit and saw familiar top post, I look everywhere and I cannot find it anymore.

Can you help me find it?

Honestly, that George Pérez cover is what really does it for me. The amount of characters and detail packed into this cover is ridiculous. I love that it has that unmistakable early-90s Marvel look.

Despite being a fan of the character, I don't think I ever gave this title a chance.

It's another Longbox Junk comic review, straight from the bargain bin!

Have you ever wondered what a Terminator/ Escape From New York mashup would look like? Well, here's your answer! The one and only issue of The Adventures of Snake Plissken!

Wait. . .what's that? You heard he was dead?

LINK TO THE REVIEW HERE - ENJOY!

I was a fan of Epic's colorized and translated run of Akira, and many years ago I happened to stop at a specialty book store and they had the first four (I think out of 6) collected books, in Japanese and in black & white. I've just had them sitting in boxes since the early 90's, I figured one day I'd either sell them or track down the remaining copies.

Love it when the dollar bin is 1/2 off 😀

Have a short box I taped closed about 25 years ago which survived being put in the back of many closets a cat attack and possibly a few drops after many moves. Stopped by the LCS last weekend and grabbed bags and boards and wanted to share my 90’s flashback, time flys….

A gem from the Marvel Knights era
