Remember Epic magazine? And the famous Thanos/Warlock story? To me, those are classic Jim Starlin, offering his stiff but peculiar (in a good way) artwork, contained in stories of cosmic importance. Flash ahead three decade to another Starlin production. What got me was the cover; lately bland covers abound, and this issue had something bold, in-your-face. But I saw Starlin’s name, and I was fearful. Though I’ve love Jim’s artwork, always, it seems, to me, that he’s been writing one type of story: somebody gets awesome powers that can alter the universe, and everyone is out to stop that one person. Sometimes this happens in a dreamlike dimension, but the premise is the same. I’ve seen it three times from him, and while it has its places (in Crisis, for instance), I like those stories paced far, far apart…like decades apart. Why? Let’s just say I don’t see those problems day-to-day. Enter this comic. This issue can best be described as someone gets omnipotent abilities, and four people are trying to stop him. Attach a dreamlike state, and universe-spanning importance, too. Sigh. At least Bizarro wasn’t in a dream-like dimension in the back-up story, right? Right?
