I bought the collected mini-comic series. And spoiler alert, within the book they Interview one of the writers and he states
“understand that nothing about what I wrote for these minis struck me then, or now, as “inspired” I thought the toys were ugly and stupid”
That’s a bit harsh.
I remember the mini-comics being a lot like Tijuana Bibles, with overly-muscular characters named “Fisto”. Then to my horror I find the writers weren’t even trying.
This is déjà vu for me as I also watched “The toys who made us” and found the entire toy line was created after experimentation on small children - to find the optimal psycho-stimulation required to make children plastic-muscled addicts.
But anywho... anyone reading the new comic series? I hear the Evil Horde is back!
