Welcome to Longbox Junk, the blog absolutely STUFFED with cheesy goodness and surrounded by a crunchy shell of delicious criticism!
And speaking of cheesy goodness, this time out we're taking a look at the single issue of a comic starring a hero that is canonically one of the most powerful individuals in the Marvel Universe! It's nacho average hero, it's COMBO MAN!
Wait. What's that? Who the is Combo Man, you ask?

If you've been a reader of this blog, then you know that of all the different kinds of comics out there, I have a special love for the One Shot. A story in ONE issue. Nowhere to hide. The creative team has just one. . .well. . .shot to tell their story. That it. In MY humble opinion, it's the perfect kind of comic to not only read but also to review.
And if you're a new reader, then welcome! Glad to have you! Did I mention I love One Shots?

Moving into the third part of my dive into one of the most unloved series to come out of Marvel's ill-fated New Universe experiment, it's been a bit of a strange ride. And SPOILER ALERT, it's about to get stranger.

Continuing on with my look at all 13 issues of one of the most unloved series to come out of Marvel's New Universe, Mark Hazzard: Merc. Part Two will cover issues five through nine of the run.
Part One FOUND HERE was a bit of a surprise. It was an interesting and pretty well done dive into a main character who was a broken man, addicted to violence and trying to reconnect with his family and the "real" world. Not the BEST comic story I've ever read, but pretty good.

Over the past year or so, life has been throwing a LOT of stuff at me. . .work stuff, family stuff, and especially health and medical stuff. . .all at the same time. It's drastically lowered my motivation to do just about ANYTHING, and I've been in that place for a while now.
If you've been in that mental place, then you know what I'm talking about. I'm getting better, though, so let's just leave it at that and get back into some Longbox Junk!
