It's completely superfluous to the story, which is completely missable, but it's cute. That's the best that can be said about the entire issue.<br /><br />Really curious to see how the Ellis run holds up, but it's bound to be a vast improvement over this.Melahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539894845356203447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-23522633478178805522018-07-13T17:20:06.825-05:002018-07-13T17:20:06.825-05:00The story’s negligible, and the art in it is not m...The story’s negligible, and the art in it is not my cup of tea, but congratulations to everyone who’d been clamoring for a pin-up of “The Young Nightcrawler”.Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-73782104005158103982018-07-12T21:26:04.403-05:002018-07-12T21:26:04.403-05:00That title sure fits Excalibur at this stage.
