One of the stories was a tale about a geeky high school student turned scientist who discovers an asteroid on a collision course for Earth, and uses this to gain what he never had in school-fame, women, revenge on the school bully, etc. What makes the story stick out is that it was also a "Spider-Man" homage-the scientist was a Peter Parker analogue, the school bully was modeled after Flash Thompson,and so on.<br />Does anyone recall this comic?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-17567646370614811852013-05-27T19:00:53.523-05:002013-05-27T19:00:53.523-05:00It seems to me that traveling all the way to Haiti...It seems to me that traveling all the way to Haiti to persecute someone based on their religion is a pretty clear case of ethnic cleansing.<br /><br />I love the art in the second story--and even love that groovy psychedelic recolor on the last panel of page three.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-90799657732513420042013-05-27T14:15:38.560-05:002013-05-27T14:15:38.560-05:00Both fun stories.

The mix up of zombies and vampires is par for the course in some of these tales, and actually is an interesting angle that has a lot of permutations. Zombies and vampires are relatively well related in certain aspects.<br /><br />The first tale features my favorite type of adventure, the guy who seems to be really experienced but might loose a game of tic-tac-toe to a brick. He obviously believes the evil powers of voodoo, and brings along his wife. On her honeymoon. To hunt dangerously powerful witch doctor. And, of course, doesn't at all suspect anything when the mysterious woman appears. From the plane crash. They just talked about. Who of course endless falls for his ruggedness!<br /><br />The second one I also like a lot. The art is clean (and I'm going to go back on what I said earlier), and it works great here because while there is a supernatural element, it's more of a mad killer story, and the art works great here, especially the crazy eyes.<br /><br />What a great two-fer. And Blaze Starr! Everybody should do an image search for more pictures of this set.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-87581695051535846742013-05-27T13:40:52.165-05:002013-05-27T13:40:52.165-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mestierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469030153414408109noreply@blogger.com
