Beautiful cover. Move over Paul the Samurai, there is a new game in town. 

Thank you Jason! Talked to Stan about a Tick/Usagi crossover issue at SDCC the year this came out, but he said he was too busy at the time. Maybe one day!

Love the Tick! Love Usagi! Just a great idea and beautifully done! The only thing that could have made it better was if a piece of the French bread was falling off with an action line to Usagi's blade.  

Thanks Duke! That's not a bad idea! Where were you when I needed you years ago!? (Just kidding around)

The duo we didn't know we needed!

It was fun. I had to put a nod to Paul the Samurai in it. His status as a private eye from the Sean Wang era of The Tick comics featured prominently in my pitch for potential book.

35 bucks? What a steal. You can't even buy 13 bags of pork rinds for that.

Howard said something like, "I sell these cheap because I don't care." I'm paraphrasing, but it's close to that.

Great page from a great story.  It reveals Steve Rogers is a stand up person and is still Cap even out of the costume when volunteering his time.  The surprise on his face with the reveal of Bucky's sister on this page is handled quite well. 

Thank you Marcus! Absolutely! Action stories are great, but I have always appreciated the stories that were more on the quiet side and showed more character depth.

I remember this story well from when this book first hit the stands.  Lim did a great job on what was a touching tale.

Thanks Michael! Indeed, so many great stories in this issue! Cockrum X-Men, Buscema Thor, Art Adams/Simonson FF! So many great creators hooked me instantly!

Awesome!!  Those King Conan books are some of my all time favorite stories.  Marc's work on those back up stories is just superb.  THAT'S where I discovered his art; not on Wolverine or Uncanny.  I was like; "Oh!  He's the guy that did those King Conan back ups!"

Thanks Eric! Very cool. I think I first saw his stuff in X-Men, but I am a huge Conan fan.
