I get about one issue a year to see what is going on in heavy metal. I agree with dubbat that it's mostly miss. I have only spoken of one issue on the show, the all war of the worlds issue which was quite good. But the mag in general is far from where it was in the 80s.
The reprints of Pat Mills 'Requiem' are well worth reading. That story is batshit crazy!
Was that reprinted in last years issues?
I think it was. It has everything. Historical figures, nazis, vampires, golems, werewolves. Really crazy stuff.
I agree. Some parts are better than others but it is an american animation landmark.
Yup. Definitely a watershed moment. Lots of interesting, outside-the-then-norm North American animation at that point in the 80s, actually. Most of the American public was all "um, we'd like more singing mice now, please," but still, it was cool to see stuff like Heavy Metal or Rock & Rule or American Pop actually get made. Nowadays I don't think most studios would take the risk.
Can't forget "Heavy Traffic","Coonskin" and "Fire and Ice".
