Though Marvel was in a way having their cake and eating it too in that respect at times; for instance, the Van Lunt/Zodiac story would take a number of issues to play out, with each "single" story part of the whole. The only thing missing was the teaser panel at the end that would segue in some way to the next issue. As Thor observed when the case wrapped and all the pieces of those stories came together, "...the fates do weave indeed a tangled skein!" The fates--or in this case, Thomas, who threw the Lethal Legion in the middle (a continued story if ever there was one) just to throw us off the scent. :)<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-69317730772966210622016-12-23T09:09:32.722-05:002016-12-23T09:09:32.722-05:00Beautiful review of one of the most handsome comic...Beautiful review of one of the most handsome comics Marvel ever published. The Buscema-Palmer team was fresh and the interplay here is exquisite. The story is perfectly paced and fits the single issue as well as any during this period when Marvel was reluctant to do continued tales. A great little gem of a comic. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.com
