SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Published: May 1992
KEY ISSUE: Nope… Part Four of the Shattershot Series
Fabian Nicieza story
Greg Capullo, Mike Thomas & Harry Candelario art
Greg Capullo Cover
This one is actually pretty common compared to the rest of the Set. There are a total of 12 graded as 9.8 with this one included. Seeing as Greg Capullo did both interior and cover and he will be at the Wizard World Austin I will have to crack this one open to truly make it an OAK. I guess on the bright side if this one doesn’t retain its grade there are currently 2 more on eBay that I can attempt it with.
Story Title: Shattershot Part 4: The Mirror Liars
SUMMARY:
In the distant future on Mojoworld, Shatterstar rules the world while the Spineless Ones attacks in a rebel uprising. In the not-quite-as-distant future on earth, Arize arrives to ask the future version of X-Force to help overthrow Shatterstar (unaware that Shatterstar is being manipulated behind the scenes by "the Board" and the Scheduler and has already begun to dislike the condition of his newly "free" world). Back on Mojoworld, X-Force and Arize attack along with rebel forces and (with Shatterstar's help) manage to take down the Scheduler and the Board. And in the distance of the celebrating crowd Cannonball almost catches a glimpse of what looks like an aged Longshot.
The Crush:
Whiz Kid, Artie, and Leech protect a young girl at their school.
Know Your Enemy:
This story takes place right after X-Force #10. Cable rounds up his crew to take an inventory on the known threats to X-Force. Some enemies are questionable, but Cable wants to make sure his team knows what to expect in the future.
PERSONAL COMMENTS:
This was from a series that spanned across X-Men’s Annual, Uncanny X-Men’s Annual, X-Factor’s Annual and finally completed here in X-Force. An ok story-line but did help to set Shatterstar apart from the rest of X-Force as a force to be recon with. Hated what Marvel did to his character in first toning him down and then making him gay from being this psychopathic killer but I guess they wanted to either take him in a new direction, or go for the ah factor.
