Here’s one of my holy grails. ALF’s controversial cover. I’ve owned this issue since I was a kid.

The Power Pack Mutant Massacre crossover issue. The Power Pack kids bumble and bicker and do pratfalls through a sewer filled with death, including dead children. It’s a really odd mix.

I was 10 when this came out. I found it in a multipack today and read it again. Very interesting how much of it had been burned into my brain.

Since this is a Marvel comic there’s still a mandatory Wolverine guest appearance and fight based on a misunderstanding

Chocolatey Goodness!

I love obscure promotionals. This one was, at least in theory, distributed exclusively at a series of 2012 Nestle promotional events where the Quik Bunny, in costumed mascot form, appeared at various Walmarts to hawk chocolate powder and hand out comics. Nesquik It's Legendary: The Search for Chocolatey Goodness is also among the longest, most ridiculous comic book titles of all time.

Published by DC, this is actually Quik Bunny's third comic book appearance. Nestle was partnered with Marvel back in 1984 for The Adventures of Quik Bunny (with a Spider-Man appearance). The company hopped ship (see what I did there?) to DC, resulting in the 1987 Superman Meets the Quik Bunny. The chocolate advertisement rabbit is therefore one of a fairly small number of characters to have screen time with both Spider-Man and Superman.
