Spam it ain't, but a serious man on serious business.<br /><br />I kind of also managed to collect a stack of the books as published in my locality, though nothing near of full series. Of all things Evolutionary Wars, only the Uncanny X-Men and ALF installments were published in Finland. Due to ALF having less delay, for the longest time it was the only place I had ever met the High Evolutionary, and misunderstood his role in the Marvel Universe for enlengthened period. Luckily they put out "Yesterday Quest" as part of their Byrne-drawn Avengers backlog specials in 1991, and I was... well, confused still, but differently. The X-Men annual came out only in December that year, what with the two years' or so delay with the X-Men publication; had the recap in Avengers not primed me at that point I would have had hard time with the High Evolutionary still; harassing Melmacians, saving the Savage Land, that sort of thing.<br /><br />You should just slip the ALF Annual there somewhere, IMO, and correct the mistake made by Marvel.

Not sure why; sorry!<br /><br />Believe me, if the ALF annual was in this book, I'd cover it. Along with the three Spider-Man installments, it was the only other "Evolutionary War" branded issue I had as a kid. Somehow I managed to collect a full run of Marvel/Star's ALF, picking it up month by month, even though I mostly only read off the newsstand back then!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-47189904966280673592015-11-04T08:38:58.145-08:002015-11-04T08:38:58.145-08:00I like it too, though I fully acknowledge it was a...I like it too, though I fully acknowledge it was a mess behind the scenes.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580725636327122073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-30309470431377350622015-11-04T07:34:07.457-08:002015-11-04T07:34:07.457-08:00In so far i know the Evolutionary War is usually m...In so far i know the Evolutionary War is usually met with a collective shrug. <br />It's biggest claim to fame was retconning away Miles Warren's clones.<br />Before the retcon got retconned during the Spiderman clone saga. <br /><br />( I like the clone saga, but it was a mess. ) Snowkatthttp://focusedtotalitycomics.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-32615909764283555112015-11-03T03:21:42.125-08:002015-11-03T03:21:42.125-08:00I take the exclusion of the ALF Annual from the om...I take the exclusion of the ALF Annual from the omnibus as a personal insult.Teemunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-91681363150041409822015-11-02T11:47:25.639-08:002015-11-02T11:47:25.639-08:00Cool stuff.

It'll be interesting to read a chapter-by-chapter analysis of it. <br /><br />Unfortunately, given its reputation, I have a feeling this will still fall under "inconsequential filler" despite the overarching narrative, but I guess we'll find out!
