I'm a long way from the US, so I guess Smells Like Teen Spirit was a tremendous hit there back then. It was raging here as well, but peeps like Billy Idol, Offspring, Green Day and M.C. Hammer were storming Serbia in those times, hence the question :B<br /><br />I love the info on the creators you tend to share.

I was a big (POST-Liefeld) Cable fan, and enjoyed this two-parter. It was a lead-in for X-cutioner's Song, and helped put a lot of stuff into context for those who didn't follow X-force. <br /><br />Now I have to admit, after all this time, the dialogue is a bit... over the top Die-Hard-ian, but that was part of the charm back then. I mean, Silver Age writing was even cheesier, but we tend to forgive it because it was an earlier era.<br /><br />That being said, nothing forgives the costume design. Shoulder pads? And Stryfe may have been a bad-ass villain during his short career, but that armor...

I...To be honest, I was never really a fan of Cable. I don't really like most characters like Cable actually. I know he's not just a future character, but that is what he was originally and forcing him to be the son of Scott and Madelyne Pryor didn't do anything to remove that fact that he is just another character from a different time/reality stuffed into one of the X-comics. Rachel Summers is all we need. At least she can be a really cool character at times and even if she is played off a Jean-lite at times, she does have enough of a personality when attached to the right writer.<br /><br />I liked some of the stuff done in X-Man as well. Anytime where he was forced to be involved in big plots (Onslaught, The Tweleve) pretty much sucked because he doesn't belong. And don't get me started on the whole "Nate created Onslaught by ripping Xavier out of the astral plain" BS. Then of course the infamous Six Month Gap came into play and the character was ruinedm stripped of everything that made him interesting and eventually killed off.Derangelhttp://www.pixelsmashers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-36849120745084303052009-08-04T15:16:57.430-05:002009-08-04T15:16:57.430-05:00I managed to pick up this issue from the quarter b...I managed to pick up this issue from the quarter bin at the now-defunct God Mine Comics & Cards at Victoria circa-1999!<br /><br /> I went to Dragon's Lair Comics & Fantasy (The 7959 Fredrickburg Rd. location) at San Antonio on July 14, & checked out their quarter bin. I got these books:<br /> "Mai The Psychic Girl" #28 (Eclipse; July 12, 1988. This is a great example of the early days of translated manga!)<br /> "Phaze" #1 & #2 (Eclipse; 1988; A 1988 book more retarded than The New Guardians!)<br /> "The Rovers" #1 & #2 (Malibu; 1987; This is one of the earliest Malibu comics. It is about a pair of high-school students who have after-school jobs as bounty hunters!)<br /> "Tales of the Champions" #3 (Heroic Publishing;This book introduced a new version of Heroic's Tigress character. While the original Tigress was a typical 'bad girl' of the early 1990s comic book 'Dark Age', this new version was more 'lighter & softer': The new Tigress' alter-ego, Kassady Farrell, was a fun-loving high-school graduate who is granted the powers of the Tigress when she was bitten by a snake!This would have made a nice series, but the only other appearrance this Tigress made was in the next issue, a back-up in 'Flare' #36, & in 'Champions' #40! Apparently, the current version of Heroic Publishing dropped the all-new stygma in favor of shoving reprints of early-1990s stories! The most gregarious offender wa 'Flare Adventures', which stasrted out with lost stories set in the past, but quickly turned to reprinting shoddy 1992-1993 Flare, plus some new Chrissie Claus stories! Other books that went this road are: Witchirls, Inc.; Libery Comics; Flare; & Champions itself! Even some of the recent new series were terrible: he 'All-Girl Hero League' had some of the silliest chick to ever don spandex! 'The Sensational G-Girl' was a horribly drawn book about a 15-year old girl drawn overtly sexually, & 'Fantastic Girl', which might become the worst thing they ever published!<br /> 'Tigers of the Luftwaffe' #1 (Antarctic Press; August 2001)<br /><br /> I hope you enjoy this response!<br /><br /> J.A.P.Jeremy A.
