Wonder full show sounds like interesting comic I’ll keep an eye out for the omnibus. But I’m currently working on so some other things . I’m working on collecting right now . So unless heroes squared omnibus shows up at a comic I’m at it’s not high priority for me but another wonderful show. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep listening over and out. This is Bucky749 signing off.
Thanks, Shag and Bill, for a good listen. I’ve had of this comic but never come across it, but it must have done OK to have more than the original mini-series. I’ve just checked out a few pages online, and enjoyed them. I shall keep an eye out for en el cheapo collection.
My maths is not the best, why ‘hero squared’? Twins aren’t one person squared. Mind, the two Milos aren’t twins, not exactly. My head hurts.
I happened across a TPB at Ollie’s which I believe is the wrap up of the story, and it’s plenty of Giffen-DeMatteis goodness. I haven’t worked at finding the rest, but now I *have* to! It sounds so fun! Great show, gents!
