Hi Alex, I thought I’d add a comment explaining some of the points that you found confusing in the issue. I think, as a whole, the issue reads better if the reader has a wider understanding of the new Ultimate Marvel status quo. Essentially, Colossus, Magik, and Omega Red run a Soviet Union with the name filed off (the collapse of the Soviet Union never happened in this reality). They project to the rest of the world an identity as the welcoming, peaceful homeland of mutants, but actually run a brutal, repressive regime that experiments on mutants. From the issue, you’re supposed to get that Nightcrawler and Mystique escaped from some form of internment/reeducation camp and joined a resistance movement where they met Logan and became his friend. Logan was later captured after an altercation with the Eurasian forces and brainwashed. The letter at the end of the issue, written by Nighcrawler as a kind of newsletter to the rest of the resistance network, I think is basically supposed to accomplish two things: 1) explicitly state the characters’ connections and 2) lay out that, in this reality, Wolverine started as the friendly freedom fighter and became a broken, brainwashed killing machine as opposed to the opposite order in the main Marvel continuity. Hope this helped!

Shooter based Starbrand on his own idealized version of himself 😂. To this day Marvel still brings him back just to kill him off.

Im going to be looking forward to this every Wednesday!

I still have this issue. Bolton also worked with Chris Claremont on a Red Sonja clone called Marada: The She Wolf. Kull is actually older than Conan. The first Conan story was actually a re-write of a Kull story. The Kull story was called " By This Axe I Rule". Howard rewrote it with Conan & called it" The Phoenix on The Sword". Doug Moench's name is pronounced " Mench" like bench. The "O" is silent. He's most famous for his Moon Knight & Batman runs.

Absolute Wonder Woman, great art.

the art's beautiful, but 2x vertical videos, hurts my brain

I just finished all 10 issues. Very cool. It's been on my bucket list for...well...decades. finally got a round tuit. Due to a recent upload (you're welcome) there is a googleable method to "get comics". These issues in particular. There's music track on the utoobes you can find by doing a search for "london reading music". I used it as background music while reading. Seems fitting. It seems to me that this alternate universe is borderline steampunk. What with the blimps and all. Really liked this series. We should start a petition for Guy to do some more issues.

Mad Max and Rob Cop had no influence on this. I never saw them. Before or since. And yeah…I’m still embarrassed by the nail joke.

Yeah i never liked those 90s Fantasy TV shows, something was off about em, i didnt know they did a Kull Movie though i just googled it, looks awful lol

22:10 that is the most important dumbbell in that universe. You kinda glossed right over that. The Pitt happened. Don't pretend it didn't. Lol.

Continuity basically did a series of mini-series. This is the #1 issue of the Rise of Magic storyline, which is the LAST issue of Hybrids. The story is supposed to crossover into the other books, but the next part will just tell a completely different story with no reference to anything that has gone before. LOL Peter Stone (whoever he is) was NOT a very good writer and the entire Deathwatch 2000 crossover was just a huge mess. I will say that I LOVE Continuity's characters and would love to win the lottery and buy these characters from Adams' estate. They've got great potential!

Pretty cool Dave Stevens documentary on Tubi.

Please pardon the rambling towards the end the comic becomes a bit confusing after a bit.

JRJR was removed from Uncanny X-Men to work on this with the promise he'd be able to return. Marvel really screwed with him.

The death knight sculpture looks great.

Alex MasTurbin 😀 😛

Thanks for this one!

Marvel's New Universe...some solid stuff, and Power Pack, as well!

Dollar General is not a dollar store. Dollar Tree was a dollar store, but is now a 1.25 store . Great video!

Such a dark turn when he blew up Pittsburgh trying to remove the Brand.

I recently picked up and read Motor Girl by Terry Moore. It was a great read. I've not dipped too far into Terry Moore. He's got a ton of work and I haven't waded in deeply.

Not quite sure about them yet 😊 Is Nadia jealous 😂

Looks like the title got misspelled.

Umm uhh

So demure so mindful

The sculpture looks awesome Alex!

It reminds me of an Edgar Rice Burroughs Story

The artist try to copy the Joe Kubert's Tarzan, but the tru is nobody has drawn Tarzan as well again, after those wonderfull artists like Russ Manning, Hogarth, Kubert and Harold Foster.

What a surprise to see someone reviewing Tragg! Great series and an amazing 1st issue (the characters did make an appearance or two prior to this). The second issue also had Santos art - but after that he only did the covers. Original art for this issue was selling pretty cheaply some years back.

The new comic and figure are bad as hell! Paint looks good to me

What your link to buy your comics?

Don Glut always has well crafted stories, and Jesse Santos was just a marvelous artist. I talked about them in more detail in some of my videos. Santos is a Filipino artist.

I loved Tragg and the other stuff by Glut and Santos. I never got this issue.

I have been reading Vampirella or Vampy since September 1969. She's had three distinct runs: Warren, Harris and Dynamite. She's currently in Dynamite. She has several titles running; and she's a superhero who also happens to be a vampire. You see very little of the vampire stuff, but you see a lot of superhero stuff and also soap opera drama with various characters who have their own books and runs. It's a nice way of selling several titles at once. She started as cheesecake from the mind of Forrest J. Ackerman in association with James Warren. Warren, who fathered Warren Publishing, had already published Famous Monsters of Filmland, Creepy, Eerie, and wanted another title. Ackerman was inspired by a fashion model and actress named Marissa Mell and decided to base a character on her; and Vampirella was the result. She began as a kind of lightweight Annie Fanny knockoff, i.e., hypersexualized and a bit ridiculous. She was the titular host of an anthology series, but it was quickly recognized that she was a strong enough character to star in most of her own stories. In fact, she took off and grew in relation to the feminist movement and morphed from a character of, by and for men to one who has a lot of women followers because she's strong, independent and admirable. She has a strong sense of ethics and fights against forces of destruction and malevolence for what most people would think of as good. Harris might have developed her to her maximum potential with great character and complex stories, but their plans fell short. They sold her off to Dynamite which has been running her title for several years. In order to fully appreciate her character, you really need to follow her evolution through the three imprints and also grab some current ones to see where she is now.

Lee Weeks is one of the best comic artists ever 💯

Noice!

a reprint of a reprint! issue #9 is a reprint of issue #1, if I'm not mistaken... AND then Whitman reprinted the whole 9 issue run. so there's 4 versions of the origin story of Tragg!

nice

Marvel should have gotten Santos to draw ghost rider or werewolf by night

You can’t go wrong with Don Glut and Jesse Santos. I loved Tragg and Doctor Spektor when I was a kid. The Whitman reprints were bagged and sold at drugstores and department stores if I recall.

KODT has gone for so long, the creators have worked on the comic for so long, that it's like trying to review a facet of life itself.

😍😍😍😍

I own all those Thing comics but ive never read em, i kinda want to dig em out now after watching this, i didn't realise how nice the artwork is.

looks like a great book and if i saw it i'd pick it up

Thanks for this I been thinking about possibly reading this title after I finish my Usagi Yojimbo Dark Horse run!

Ryan Stegman! Kinda Good! I feel the Chris Bachalo in him!
