Take all 4 issues of the Badger

 

ok first a little bio on this run of BADGER pretty good read.There is only 4 issues.

 

The first four issues of Badger were published by Capital Comics (under the name The Badger), beginning in 1983. Capital ceased publishing in 1984

Badger was mostly set in Madison, Wisconsin, where Capital Comics was situated, and where Baron lived.[citation needed] The lead character was Norbert Sykes, a Vietnam war veteran suffering from multiple personality disorder. "The Badger", an urban vigilante who could talk to animals, was just one of his personalities. Bizarrely, he would often call people "Larry", and it was later revealed that "Larry" was the name of his father who left his mother when Norbert was five. His mother remarried Rollins who physically abused Norbert. After escaping from a mental institution, Norbert met a 5th-century Druid named Ham (Hammaglystwythkbrngxxaxolotl in full), who had just awakened from an 800 year coma (this was later corrected in dialogue where it was noted that Ham's coma lasted 1500 years). Ham took the Badger in as a boarder in his castle in return for the Badger's bodyguard services. Other characters included Norbert's caseworker Daisy, Vietnamese martial arts expert (and Norbert's wife) Mavis, and Lord Weterlackus, a demon who empowered Ham until they had a falling out. Prior to his coma, Ham would sacrifice children in his castle in Wales (Ham was placed in a mystical coma for 1500 years by all the other wizards), but after his resurrection he would sacrifice animals (which enraged the Badger) or computer files. Ham would use his power over weather to influence markets and generate wealth for himself; occasionally his supernatural dealings would bring him into conflict with demons, whom the Badger would then be called upon to fight.

The Marvel Presents Guardians stories are great – if you have never read them you’ll be enticed to go for the whole run. (thumbs u

 

I had never truly read Superman before Man of Steel, and I loved the series just because the authors (Louise Simonson and Jon Bogdanove) were my top favorites at the time, working often together on Power Pack.

In the end, I was annoyed by the whole idea of "killing" Superman, so I think I dropped MoS slightly afterwards the "death": but they are great issues, and Louise knows how to write in a heartfelt and at the same time energic way.

Doomsday most definitely will be on big screen in this decade....almost as for sure as Darkseid being on screen....

 

Can you imagine if this book turned into a $100 item. Gijoeisawesome would be rolling in the money with his hundred copies.

I thought that MOS #17 with the Doomsday cameo was the book that would get all the vaule love? Not that that matters here, but just curious. There seems to be no consistency in regards to cameos vs. 1st full appearances when it comes to value (Hulk 180/181 for example is opposite the doomsday values).
