Our wrap-up will have each professor's choice for Top Twenty stories of the 1970s, so if you're in the mood and have a little time for reflection, please post YOUR choices!Peter Enfantinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317575598411394944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830827465735526826.post-19380631315289332712017-02-22T14:12:50.154-08:002017-02-22T14:12:50.154-08:00Darren-

The plan is a series of essays looking at what happened post-Dec 79, the first of which will arrive on March 15th.

The Heck Giant-Size in the monthly were bad compared to everything Colan, but this didn't work at all.<br /><br />The Micronauts sure had some rough times ahead, the only artists I liked were Broderick in parts and Guice, who did some inspired work. I bought this until Gillis arrived, after this I dropped the book fast like so many others.<br /><br />I never read Thor except the odd issue, but by chance I got the rest of Thomas' run, 293-300. It seemed a strange mix with his incorporation of composer Wagner's Rhinegold, another version of the nordic myths and the Celestials. But I enjoyed it a lot. Frankly I was surprised how lame the road to these were. <br /><br />I am saving a few comments for the wrap-up :-)<br /><br /><br /><br />AndyDeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12806906746754478064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830827465735526826.post-71707927845914813732017-02-22T06:19:32.637-08:002017-02-22T06:19:32.637-08:00Can't believe you're actually nearing the ...Can't believe you're actually nearing the end.
