Hudnall, James Sherman, Marvel 30. Wolverine the Jungle Adventure 1990, Walter Simonson, Mike Mignola, Bob Wiacek, Marvel

Alpha Flight:

Alpha Flight 47 is weird, a fill-in I guess, it looks like the artists alternated pages. I did a flip-thru at the store and thought it was all Mignola so I got it but I was disappointed. Alpha Flight 83 was a really nice looking comic drawn by Jim Sherman who you’ll remember from a handful of Legion of Super-Heroes comics and The Fly #1.

They Were Chosen to be the Survivors:

I remember Steve Woron’s name from years ago in Previews -- back then every issue there always seemed to be a softcore looking comic that he’d drawn the cover for. But Survivors #3 is a sci-fi super comic, not very well written but they take advantage of the color -- I saw the first issue in the bin the other day and it was black and white so maybe this is the first color issue in the series -- and there’s these neat spider robots.

Invasion ‘55: This artist Lito Fernandez seems like he’s just a hair away from drawing a really great comic in Canniff style. This one suffers from some screwy/confusing balloon reading order. No letterer is credited so I assume it was done by the artist. The story’s kind of fun with a fucked up ending where a kid’s whole class is killed by aliens and thrown in a pit. There’s an essay by Chuck Dixon (who wrote this comic) in the front cover where he claims he’d never vote for a Democrat, wonder if that’s still true.

New York Year Zero: This is an Escape From New York/Mad Max type of comic. It’s like something you’d see in Heavy Metal -- the story’s all about future violence and the art by Juan Zanotto is really good, I’d check out more comics by him but I’m not sure if there’s anything else in English.

The Rest:

The Billy Nguyen comic sucked, they’d been reading Howard Chaykin comics I think. It gets points, though, for being published by an outfit called Attitude Zone because that’s a pretty cool name for a comic book publisher.

Hankiewicz’s N for Nadelman is really great, you should try to track down a copy. It has been reviewed already on this blog.

Charlton Action feat. Static was fine, I’m not the biggest Ditko fan but I keep trying.

Tough Guys and Wild Women reprints some ‘40s comics starring The Saint, even though it’s not very obvious by the title. But the comics suck so who cares. They also put the Canniff swipe right on the cover to confuse you.

The Verdict:

I’m adding N for Nadelman, Alpha Flight 83, and Wolverine’s Jungle Adventure to my collection and putting the rest in the discard bag.

Thanks for reading

Legion of Super-Heroes #11

Warning, Spoilers Ahead…

Legion of Super-Heroes #11, “Tenzil Kem Takes A Bite Out Of Crime”, by Tom & Mary Bierbaum, Keith Giffen, Craig Brasfield, and Al Gordon.

 The issue opens with an episode of “Mutal of Obsidian’s Wild Archaeology” starring Tenzil Kem of the Planet Bismoll.  Tenzil saves a fellow archaeologist from a mummy.

We switch to news bulletin from the Winathian Holocasting Corporation.  Citizens are urged to use extreme caution as Kivun Roxxas is thought to be in the area.

We receive an update on the wounded Legionnaires:

Believed Dead: Reep Daggle, Jo Nah

Extremely Grave Condition: Celeste Rockfish

Stable Condition: Bounty, Metk Ranzz

Allergic Reaction: Devlin O’Ryan

We return to Tenzil’s tenure as host of “Wild Archaelogy”.  Tenzil investigates the myth of “The Titan Presidents of Bismoll”: “Noble.  Dynamic. Loyal to their principles. Dedicated to democracy.  Evasive at press conferences.”

Tenzil and company are an archaeological dig in the Jersey District of Metropolis.

Tenzil claims they’ve discovered the “first known remnants of an Abraham Lincoln Manhole Cover” but is actually the giant penny from the Batcave.

Poor Tenzil has discovered a historical object of great value and has no idea!

Poor Bruce!  Mighty Gotham has degraded into a “district of Metropolis”.  I can hear Bruce’s “Nooo!” all the way in the 30th century!  

Tenzil’s team uncovers the giant playing card and the dinosaur that “confirms the Titan Presidents date back to prehistoric times”.

Professor Bob Finger heads up the dig – a nice nod to the creators of Batman.

Bob states Tenzil’s theory is “the most lame-brained, ill-informed theory I’ve heard in my entire professional life!”

Tenzil’s all “Eh, whatevs”.

Tenzil returns to the Bismollian Embassy where we discover he has a method behind the madness: He has received an encoded message from the Winathian contingent – ‘Operation: Popiscle” is a go.

It’s nice to see that the re-formed Legion, even with their limited resources, haven’t forgotten their imprisoned teammate on Earth.

The Calorie Queen, now Tenzil’s personal assistant, informs him that he has a stack of documents that still hasn’t signed itself and “the Archaelogists Society is screaming for your hide”.

Tenzil prepares for a new series: “a courtroom drama with stories that leap out of today’s headlines”.

Tenzil is one of the main characters that excelled in the “5 years later” series.  I love his dual role of wacky, bumbling fool but secretly an intelligent, scheming man.

Roxxas invades the Bloomfield Free Clinic on Winath to receive treatment for his injuries – much to the misfortune of the medical providers.

The “Fix It Brainy” list continues to expand:

The “Fix It, Brainy” List as of issue #11:

1)            Garridan’s Validus Plague

2)            Mon-El’s possession by the Time Trapper

3)            Mysa’s trauma

4)            Legionnaires wounded in Roxxas attack

Brainy has only resolved the second item on the list by this point.

We receive more extensive updates of the injured:

Mekt Ranzz:

Condition: Stable

2nd degree burns over 20% of body

Mild concussion

Right wrist fractured

Reep Daggle:

Condition: Critical

Massive blood loss

Shock

Recovery dependent upon resumption of shape-changing functions

Bounty:

Condition: Stable

Paralysis (believed temporary)

Moderate difficulty breathing

Cardiac arrhythmias subsiding

Unexplained scar tissue

No known patient records

Celeste Rockfish:

Condition: Extremely Grave

Severe cerebral lacerations and contusions

Note: Widespread cerebral hemorrhaging

Multiple skull fractures

Five broken ribs

Collapsed right lung

Massive internal hemorrhaging

No known patient records

Brainy muses over his patients: “Thank the Muses I convinced Reep to re-arrange his vital organs for defensive purposes.  Otherwise, he’d be an ex-Durlan.”

Querl wonders about Bounty: “What’s your game – what are you up to?”

Imra warns Querl that she told him to rest but now she’s going to insist.  She asks Querl if Celeste is going to make it.

“No.  I did what I could.”

Poor Querl – he’s the smartest man in the universe but not even he can overcome the limitations of the human body.

Tenzil meets with Shvaughn. We discover the reason behind Brek Banin’s imprisonment.

“And that’s why Brek’s been in jail for two years?  For holding a pep rally in a pizza hall?”

“Insurrection is a very serious crime.”

“You’re right, Officer Erin. The rule of law must be kept sacred in our pizza halls.”

Shvaughn and Tenzil use telepathic earplugs to have a secret conversation.  She warns Tenzil that Brek’s attorney and the judge are in Earthgov’s pocket.  However, Prosecutor Jakobi is fair and honest.

Circe has a fit because Tenzil has “accidently” thrown his jacket over the camera in Shvaughn’s office – preventing her from spying on the duo.

The Dominators inform Circe that they see no reason to fear “the Bismollian Buffoon”.

Shvaughn warns Tenzil to destroy the telepathic earplugs before he’s frisked on the way out. Tenzil solves the problem by eating the earplugs.

Shvaughn informs Tenzil: “They’re trying to establish the defendant’s mental competency.”

“Brek’s mental competency? Darn fool kid.  I warned him about wearing that purple costume with the fur in public.”

Brek is not thrilled with Tenzil as his lawyer.  By “not thrilled”, I mean he’s having a complete freakout.

“You?!  Represent me?  In court?!”

“I have my law degree.”

“But you’re trained in Bismollian law!  This is Earth law!”

“They’re basically very similar.”

“Really?”

“Just wherever Earth says ‘food’, insert ‘rocks’”.

Brek wonders if Earthgov will let him choose the means of execution.

Tenzil informs Brek: “Earthgov wants to put you away quietly.  My presence will mean big attention from the media – less chance of being railroaded.  Plus, if you act before midnight tonight, I’ll throw in an authentic replica Legion flight ring, absolutely free.”

Who can resist that offer?

Brek consents to Tenzil’s representation but muses to himself that the guillotine would be “kind of a classy way to go”.

Tenzil meets with Ms. Jakobi, Earthgov’s prosecutor.  In between the mutual flirtation, Jakobi warns Tenzil she can’t let Brek off unless Tenzil gives her a good reason.  And that Earthgov has moved the trial to tomorrow at 8 am: “Speedy trial and all that”.

We switch to a UPV Channel 4 News Bulletin.  We discover Khfeurb Chee Bez, aka Antennae Boy, is now a newscaster at UPV.  Antennae Boy debuted in Adventure Comics #305 – he was a failed Legion applicant.  A nice Easter egg if you recognize the character but the knowledge isn’t needed for the actual plot.  Khfeurb announces Roxxas has murdered the occupants of a medical clinic on Winath.   Roxxas’ recent spree has led to over three dozen deaths.

Tenzil’s defense of Brek is part of the new holo-series: “Tenzil For The Defense Starring Senator Tenzil Kem of the Planet Bismoll.”

Tenzil asks for a delay: “What’s the big hurry?  Polar Boy certainly isn’t going anywhere.  And if we wait, we won’t have to go head to head against the yodeling championships.  Which do very well in the ratings, as you know.”

The motion for delay is overruled because the judge has to rule on “whether Green Lanterns should be barred from Earth on Monday.”

“Strange that they’re only barred from Earth on Mondays, your honor.”

Neither the judge nor Brek appreciate Tenzil’s wit: “I don’t care what he says.  This is not worth the authentic replica flight ring.”

Tenzil’s defense consists of improvised chicanery consisting of costume changes and pie throwing.

Dirk, watching the case on a holo, feels Tenzil has no idea what he is doing and is simply stalling.

The Dominator assure Circe that the “Bismollian is useless”.  Circe’s not sure.

Tenzil confounds the judge into admitting Brek’s been denied his basic legal rights.  Prosecutor Jakobi states she has “no choice but to drop all charges”.

Tenzil, Brek, and the Calorie Queen head immediately to the Metropolis Spaceport – getting off planet is of the highest priority.  

Tenzil’s pleased they creamed the Yodeling Championships in the ratings.  Tenzil shares a kiss with Jakobi before fleeing Earth.

It’s too bad Tenzil and Brek couldn’t have kidnapped Dirk and dragged him off the planet – the man clearly needs some sense beat into him.

Holo Scene, “A Critical Look At This Week’s Entertainment”, reviews “Tenzil For The Defense”.

The issue ends with Jo being hurled through space.  Jo thinks he’s been transported to the other side of Winath – but a sign reveals he’s at the “Lyme Fields, Malden Precinct, Khundia District, The Dominion.”

Khunds and Dominators? A very bad place for Jo to be.
