74/100 It is a coincidence that I purchased this right before learning of the death of Jim Shooter, editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics in the 80's and 90's. After leaving Marvel, he cofounded Valiant Comics, and later Defiant Comics. Shooter co-created this with artist Dave Lapham, and wrote the stories. It's a hot mess actually, full of wonderfully weird, gross and psychedelic ideas, it never comes together to make any sense at all. The art by ⬇️
RamsFan1963 Lapham is inconsistent, at times beautiful and surreal with organic ships and structures, but then crude and badly proportioned when it came to character designs. 2/5 ⭐ #Read2025 6d

RamsFan1963 @The_Book_Ninja Very True. Shooter's contribution to both DC, as a writer for Legion of Superheroes, and Marvel seems to have been downplayed to the point of forgetfulness. I don't read any current Marvel monthly titles, but I hope they at least did a tribute to him. He gave Marvel the original Secret Wars that they have milked for millions over the years. 5d
