Reboot Review 12: Legion of Super-Heroes #71 & Legionnnaires #28 (Aug. 1995)

Tragedy strikes the 30th Century in this episode of I'm the Gun's Reboot Review! I continue my recapping of the adventures of the Legion of Super-Heroes, as the team begins taking the fight to the specist group, The White Triangle - but that horribly misguided group takes the violence to the next level, and an entire world pays the price! Plus, the introduction of (possibly) a new team member!

Shanna Showcase 14: Marvel Comics Presents #s 74-77 (Apr.-May 1991)

This episode of I'm the Gun finishes up my recap coverage of Shanna's longest adventure to date, the 10 part serial 'The Bush of Ghosts' which ran through the anthology title Marvel Comics Presents.

This time out, I'll be covering chapters 7-10, which finds Shanna in final confrontation with would-be master of African magic, Sir Guy Cross-Wallace.  This is a great Shanna story, one of her best, and it's criminal that it hasn't been collected (though that might have disqualified it for I'm the Gun treatment)!
