I know this is Unofficial Mike-Zeck-Era Master Of Kung Fu Week, but we musn't ignore the contributions of the man who scripted over 100 issues: Doug Moench.
How rad was Moench? Well, at the exact same time he was writing the deep and violent MOKF, he was also writing--
a continuing Godzilla series, wherein Godzilla trashes Las Vegas, and fights the Champions, Fantastic Four, Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D....AND Devil Dinosaur. But wait, there's more!! Because at the EXACT same time, he was also writing--
SHOGUN WARRIORS!! Giant mecha robots battling monsters and other giant robots! And yes, it was set in the Marvel Universe.
Folks, that's versatility.
Man...Godzilla, Rom, Shogun Warriors, Micronauts...the Marvel Universe sure was a fun place back in 1979...

Why can't it be that fun today (outside of Marvel Adventures, which I'll push until everyone's reading it)? Outside of MegaMorphs, which may be outside of continuity, and the Transformers crossover when the first film came out, and is definately out of continuity, we don't get this stuff in 616 anymore. Another reason it's dead to me.
ReplyDeleteMan, I wanted to see a Godzilla vs. Shogun Warriors battle SO BAD ...! After all, the big Shogun Warrior toy series included a giant toy Godzilla and a Rodan!
