2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

 These two issues of Red Circle  Mighty Crusaders comics have blasted me back to my childhood. Page after action filled page, I'm reminded of what I loved so much about comics as a kid. A superhero team with a deep roster all with their own quirks and distinct personalities as well as diverse powers. Impactful cover art and fisticuffs  packed panels tie everything together.  At times it feels like I'm watching it all unfold in front of me.  The very first page gives off a Pacific Rim vibe. A great opening scene and continuation from the first issue. Mighty Crusader's arch-enemy the Brain Emporer is a really cool character.  He kind of reminds me of Serpentor.  One of my favorite parts in the book is when Black Hood leaves his post  to help The Shield, who has become magnetically attached to the  ships hull. ON HIS MOTORCYCLE! IN SPACE! SICK! I will definitely ...

Let me start this off by establishing the fact that I am a lazy as hell reviewer. I'll be the first to admit it. I'd much rather just post a couple of  pics with a few footnotes here and there and call it a day. However, I would almost always prefer to do an action figure review over a comic book review. With comics I never really know what pages to snap pics of or the importance of the creators/ writers/artists. Also, I don't want to spoil it for anyone who decides to go out and get a copy for themselves. So please bear with me.   As far as Mighty Crusaders issue  #1 goes... fucking loved it!  Look at that cover! Alot of times comics show all types of action on the cover and shit doesn't pop off until 7 or 8 pages into the book. Not here. If you want an even better idea of what your about to get into just flip the comic over and look at the back. Top notch art. Non-stop action. Lots of well written dialogue.  ...

The Mighty Crusaders line of action figures is as campy and cliche as they come and I absolutely love it! Everybody's name starts with "The" and the exaggerated, super bright aesthetics of each figure harkens back to the golden age of comic books !  "Joe Higgins A.K.A. The Shield! F.B.I. agent with super strength, the power to leap great distances and withstand 2,000 degrees of heat! " There's not much to these figures. 6 points of articulation, and an action feature that allows you to pull back on the right arm and release for mighty punch action! They have a real 70s feel to them even though they came out in 1984.
