#newmutants84

We’re still in Asgard. We’re still meeting weird Asgardian people. Hey, I don’t mind crazy adventures, but the New Mutants publication run was only 100 issues long, and this Hela / Asgard / Possessed Valkyrie storyline is taking up a significant percentage of it. (New Mutants #84 – Dec 1989)

Jeeeeeesuuussssss what the fuck are we even talking about here I don’t care. The pages of this comic book are filled with word walls like this. We’ve got Tiwaz the Mighty Sorcerer, the Fates Who Weave the Warp and Woof of our Lives (sounds like a shitty Asgardian soap opera), Odin is in his Odin Sleep, Thor is trapped on Midgard, and there’s Balder and the Warriors Three. But only if we could find Hogun the Grim. Could we please get back to some X-Men shit please? This Asgard stuff was boring when I was 12, and it hasn’t gotten any more exciting in the last 30 years. (New Mutants #84 – Dec 1989)

I hope Hela appearing at the gates of Asgard to destroy Odin, and a giant counter army converging on the spot to stop her, is a sign that this god damned New Mutants Asgardian story line is almost over. (New Mutants #84 – Dec 1989)

I’m not going to officially cover the Acts of Vengeance crossover, because right now just covering the 4 mainline mutant comics is completely overwhelming and if I’m going to cover Acts of Vengeance then I might as well cover every single god damned Marvel comic that was being published at the time, but we will continue to see bits and pieces of it throughout my posts. What was that storyline about? All the supervillains teaming up? They must be pretty damn desperate if they are busting the ol' Vulture out of jail. (New Mutants #84 – Dec 1989)
