First off - 5 Bronze Age issues for a buck is a outright steal! So jealous. As we say, the first thing you do when you go to the buck box is look from above for the fat issues!
ReplyDeleteNext, I agree with your pushback on everyone being within blocks of each other as being unbelievable. As always with comics, you need a foundation of reality on top of which you layer the super. So yes, I can buy an alien being flying and shooting lasers from his eyes but everyone converging on on college campus seems crazy.
Lastly, I used to put this cover in a bunch of admin presentations I would do in the hospital when different clinical groups or different disciplines would need to get together to solve a problem. I used to put this up and say 'If a circus performer who is a demon because he sold his soul to the devil, an ex-Soviet spy, a Greek demi-god, and two mutants can work together ... well .. then so can we. Onward my comrades!' (True story.)
Yeah, I'm hoping the other 4 issues in the collection are all almost as good as this one. It will be one giant steal if that all works out.
DeleteI love the teamwork message -- I might need to borrow that concept for a management lecture ...
