KEY ISSUE: Not at all but I do enjoy this version of Shatterstar and even Liefeld’s more so than where Marvel decided to go with him.
Jeph Loeb story
Anthony Castrillo, Bud Larosa, Marie Javins art
Kevin Lau Cover art
Like most of this series there are few graded examples outside of key issues such as Liefeld’s initial run, a few of Capullo’s run, and while I am not the largest fan of this part, the seemingly death of X-Force and the beginning of X-Static by the Allred’s. In total there are only 2 copies of this book graded with both having obtained the coveted 9.8 grade. Hoping one day to run into Anthony Castrillo at a Convention though so I can obtain his signature on this one or maybe even Kevin Lau.
Story Title: I know you are but what am I? (Shatterstar Saga Pt. 2)
SUMMARY:
Mojoworld
Shatterstar and Cable are prisoners of Gog and Ma'gog. They are trying to mindswipe them into being manipulated by Mojo. Mojo enters and is surprised that they are still not completely going along with his televised schedule. He then decides to turn up the power and shocks Shatterstar and Cable to help mindswipe them faster.
Dr. Strange's Mansion
X-Force and Longshot arrive at Dr. Strange's mansion. Domino is surprised that she has never seen this mansion before but has been in the area often. They are going to sneak inside, when the mansion's window opens and they are pulled inside. They meet Dr. Strange who apologizes for his precautions. Longshot asks him to make send him and X-Force to Mojoworld. Dr. Strange tells him that he no longer has the power to do so. Longshot tells him to at least try to do it and he might have some luck.
South Beach, Miami
Risque enters her home in South Beach. She decides to come back to gather her things to go back to find Warpath. She is met by both Mimic and Blob who reveal that they pulled her from Xavier's mansion when Sinister attacked. She tells them that she is not following them any longer and she is going to head back to Warpath. Sledge sits in the shadows and tells her that is not a part of their deal.
Mojoworld
Mojo has Shatterstar and Cable in front of a screen watching the televised battle that is supposed to take place on Mojoworld 100 years from this day. He shows how Shatterstar poses ready to kill Mojo and end the battle. Shatterstar tells him that he is not Shatterstar and he is instead Benjamin Russell from Boston. Cable then breaks from his chair and tries to help Shatterstar. Spiral knocks Cable out and tells him the show hasn't even begun.
Elsewhere, X-Force and Longshot teleport to Mojoworld. They land near each other and are suddenly surrounded by a massive army. Dazzler greets Longshot and acknowledges X-Force. Dazzler tells them that Mojo has turned from just televised battles into real war. She asks for their help in taking Mojo down once and for all. Longshot says the war will end with Mojo's death, but it begins with the martyrdom of Shatterstar. Rictor is surprised and Longshot tells him that Shatterstar may not die if they have a little luck.
Later, X-Force and the rebel army come across Mojo's palace. It is guarded by Gog and Ma'gog. X-Force attacks and takes the two down. Dazzler advises that Mojo must have moved on since the palace was not guarded. Domino takes the team in though to look for their missing teammates. Inside, they find a single TV with a remote. She turns it on and they see a Mojo-televised event featuring Cable and Shatterstar. Longshot fears the worst for their friends. In Vermont, a family sits in front of a TV and almost like zombies, watch the Mojo-televised event.
PERSONAL COMMENTS:
This one was purchased off a fellow board member oceanavekid following a submittal by him, which he chose to graciously let go of. Truly appreciative of him allowing me the opportunity of gaining this one and three others from him for a very low price for which I can truly say thank you for. I have always loved this series and with others on the boards knowing it I have received such an enormous amount of kindness from others for which this is only a single example of that. The storyline itself is one that I enjoyed especially with Mojo, one of my favorite X-Force villains who was carried over from Longshot/Uncanny X-Men. The idea of this looking so much like a old school TV Guide made this one a quick favorite.
