Alpha Flight #3 (Oct. 1983)

Dear Editor,

I picked up Alpha Flight #3 because of it's awesome cover. And when I read what was inside I wasn't disappointed.

The story itself was decent. I feel like I'm coming into it in the middle (since I haven't read the previous issues) but I certainly want to read more. I also dug the back story for The Master. The phrase "once a jerk—always a jerk" comes to mind.

I also liked Gaurdian's back story that you through in there too. But it did have me wondering why the appearance of the Fantastic Four gave him his "purpose"—his impetus to become Guardian. Was it that he didn't want to be out done by Reed Richards? Or, was it that he wasn't creative enough to think of giving himself super powers before that point?

Either way, I'll be looking forward to reading more Alpha Flight.

Thanks,

Weird War Tales #79 (Sep. 1979)

Dear Editor,

"The Gods Themselves" from WWT #79 was epic! I loved it. One amazing warrior fighting off an army of the gods. It was fantastic. You've got to make more like this!

The other stories in the book were pretty good too. All and all, this might be one of the strongest issues of WWT I've read in a while. Keep up the good work

The Uncanny X-Men #176 (Dec. 1983)

Dear Chris and Louise

X-Men #176 was pretty cool. Giant squids are awesome!

But, there is one frame where Cyclops seems to have his one eye open but no beam is coming out of it. Could it be that Cyclop's eye beams only go off when both eyes are open? I mean it would be pretty crazy for him to just discover this now but I guess it's possible.

Thanks for the fun issue,

Tales of Sword and Sorcery Featuring Dagar the Invincible #1 (Oct. 1972)

Dear Editor,

Dagar issue #1 was pretty good. It was certainly packed pull of action. I really dug the bad guy Ostellon. I find myself hoping that he somehow is not dead and will come back.

I also have to say that the ending was great. I did not see it coming and it was a nice surprise.

I will certainly be looking for more Dagar stories in the future.

Thanks,
