I figure Malefic picked up the cultist threads left over, but that was years later.<BR/><BR/>I like me some Mongul, but you're absolutely right about Despero. I never get tired of the pink, but yellow's been getting me down after a whole month.<BR/><BR/>I liked Ragman in his original incarnation, whom I met through old back issues like these.

Did Z'vi Z'har ever go anywhere? I don't recall him ever popping up much...<BR/><BR/>Mongul is a good MM foe, but he's no Despero. But, I guess, that's the point, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Also: Ragman backups! That's great!Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352646370918575626noreply@blogger.com
