Spidey Super-Stories #36

/ / Comics

Spidey Sunday takes us back to the late 70s and another Super-Story for Spider-Man. Unlike many issues in the title, Spidey Super-Stories #36 doesn’t involve a team-up for our hero in either the main story or either of the two backup stories. It’s far from the wackiest of the comic’s run, but there’s still some notable goofiness to be found.

Giant Robot Hellboy Returns #1

/ / Comics

Something odd is going on in the ocean’s depth where we reconnect with the crazed cabal of scientists who once connected Hellboy to a giant robot version of himself. In search of a hole in the interdimensional fabric of time caused by the same unstable experiments that created the robot, the scientists find their creation (and also more than they bargained for).

M.A.S.K. #2

/ / Comics

Relaunched as a new comic, and part of the new expanded Energon Universe, M.A.S.K. was an 80s toyline and cartoon similar to G.I. JOE in a small force of heroes attempting to prevent the rise of an evil organization. It was also similar to Transformers in the vehicles of both heroes and villains transforming (but into other vehicles rather than sentient robots). However, the line had a much smaller impact than either of the other two franchises so I am curious as to who the comic’s target audience is.
