I never really followed it all the way through, despite the cool, foil covers and seeing the sidekicks allowed play like the big boys. <br />I liked Gruenwald myself, especially more after his death once I learned just how important he was to keeping continuity in tact and his pure love the characters. His run on Cap is indeed legendary....up until #383. The Capwolf stuff is fodder for jokes, although I really did dig that crazy-ass silver age in the 90's story, he just stayed on way longer than any writer should, as I think outside of Claremont and maybe Lee, he was one of the longest-tenured writers on a book. That being said, this one wasn't really one of his better works....Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954474436358879146.post-40789924414896627822016-01-21T01:36:28.403-05:002016-01-21T01:36:28.403-05:00I'm a big fan of Mark Gruenwald... and it'...I'm a big fan of Mark Gruenwald... and it's not that the series was bad. It was a lot of fun! -I just could not take it seriously at all. <br />"Armor on!"<br />You're right, though- it was just a chance to pass the torch to the 'newer, hipper, edgier' versions of the characters. <br />The story-line was basically: Terminatrix takes over Chronopolis and replaces/impersonates Kang. But she finds out it sucks; because everyone (seven millennia of Kangs included) is trying to overthrow him/her. On top of that the new Avengers attack- so she goes back in time to get the originals to fight for her. During the battle she leaps too far into the future to escape and runs into Immortus (who is Kang, but not Kang Prime?) who is abducting all Kang's bitches to find a perfect bride that gives HIM maximum probability, or something, so he can take over the whole empire somehow? So she has to set the real Kang free because he's the only one who can deal with everyone trying to take him out.<br /><br />I... I think that's what happened.<br />The King of Thessalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406771819941242204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954474436358879146.post-26699728655806480482016-01-18T23:22:29.534-05:002016-01-18T23:22:29.534-05:00Well, at least Gruenwald tried, but damn. I don...Well, at least Gruenwald tried, but damn. I don't know if a better writer and artist could've done a better job with the material and characters available, but probably. I forgot what the purpose or point/goal of this mini was other than to probably hype War Machine, Thunderstrike, and U.S.Agent, and give them a chance to shine. But they could never escape the shadow of the very men they were intended to replace. Oh well....<br />Enjoyed the Rick and morty quote as well.Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.com
