The Strangers had a great ongoing story arc involving the mysterious villain calling himself Pilgrim. Unfortunately the comic ended without getting a real resolution to it. (I won't say more because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who might start reading the book as a result of this thread.) Steve Englehart's website says the Pilgrim storyline culminated in a crossover between Night Man Annual #1 and Strangers Annual #1. Did those issues not fully resolve things? |

I enjoyed a few of the Ultraverse books. I liked Sludge quite a bit. Great Lopresti artwork. Rune was great because it was BWS back in comics. Exiles was great when Warren Ellis was writing the book. I love his take on Ghoul. Do you mean UltraForce? I think the only Warren Ellis material featured in Exiles was reprinted from UltraForce #1. |

that Prototype cover must cost at least .50- .60 cents now.  Well, considering that I bought it for .25..... But no, I've never been into comics for profit, just enjoyment Though I may at some point get Englehart to sign it just for kicks I thought Prototype was by Len Strazewski not Steve Englehart. What was wrong with the cover of the newsstand version? |

It was a printer error, basically the border that usually was on issues of the Strangers somehow wound up on newstand edition copies of Prototype #1. Newstand editions of Ultraverse are somewhat mildly rare, but the printer error Prototype is probably the most infamous

Steve Englehart's website says the Pilgrim storyline culminated in a crossover between Night Man Annual #1 and Strangers Annual #1. Did those issues not fully resolve things? It resolved the question of who the Pilgrim really was. However, there was still a lot to be explored, given the vows some members made to find a way to redeem the Pilgrim. |

Another favorite - a crossover - Prime/Capt America that featured an evil alternate universe Bill Clinton. Wasn't he evil in our world too ?  |

The line from Malibu I liked the most and remember the most fondly was their Bravura line of creator-owned material, unfortunmately a lot of it got cancelled midway through because of financial difficulties...
'Breed I and II from Starlin
Dreadstar by David & Colon
Star Slammers from Walt Simonson
Power and Glory from Chaykin
The Edge by Grant and Kane
Nocturnals by Daniel Brereton
were the ones I checked out, but there were more..
A Man Called Ax by Marv Wolfman (can't remember the artist) and Metaphysique by Nrom Breyfogle at leastpossibly more I am forgetting.

A Man Called Ax by Marv Wolfman (can't remember the artist) and Metaphysique by Nrom Breyfogle at leastpossibly more I am forgetting. Shawn McManus drew the Man Called A-X. I think the Cable lookalike's name was supposed to be pronounced A-Ten, which could be the silliest pronunciation idea since Stan Lee insisted Ka-Zar should be read as KAY-sar. |

How else would you pronounce Ka-Zar? It's the same with the Sub-Mariner. I pronounce it Sub-Ma-Reen-Er, but the old Marvel Superheroes cartoon from the 60's called him the Sub-Marin-Er |

Seriously, we had a whole thread on the pronunciation of super-hero names and quite a few referenced Ka-Zar and Sub-Mariner. You can find the thread here...Kay-Sar?-M |
