Nov. '86 - Infinity Inc. # 32



Much like All-Star Squadron, this title had a tough time because of Crisis on Infinite Earths. This comic dealt so much with what it would be like to be the children of heroes that when the parents were removed from continuity the series lost something. The characters were certainly interesting on their own but it was the only title I can think of that dealt so much with two generations of heroes. The first storyline was even called "Generations".

There was one character, Fury, who was the daughter of Earth-2 Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman was totally removed from continuity - she never existed! So how does Fury exist? Roy Thomas had to deal with questions like these. Instead of being an unique group on Earth-2, they were now on Earth-DC. Located in Los Angeles, they shared space with the Outsiders and the Green Lantern Corps.

The title was still very enjoyable. I own the entire run. But as a big fan of All-Star Squadron, Earth 2, and what Roy Thomas was creating I was disappointed to see this title have to adjust so much.

Todd McFarlane was the artist of Infinity Inc. at this time. He was pretty new at this point but it's hard to mistake those capes. His page layouts were really good too with character drawings outside the panels. There was a lot of enthusiasm displayed in the art.
