This is missing Chris Priest's USAgent mini where the Badguy attacks Lemar while he's tripping on Kaiju Blood Super Serum that turns him into Louis Farrakhan and beats Battlestar while calling him an Uncle Tom. It was a weird mini. It needed to be like, one issue longer, everything felt rushed.

@@Lazrael32 The Wild Pack comic was a weird one, it tried to speedrun social issues and did them awkwardly, this comic also doesn't mention the designated Racist Character who was angry with Battlestar getting a crush on a black woman (One of the Somalis I think? It's been a while) and ranting that it's uncool to feel that way. It was however one of the few to actually have the stones to depict the Yugoslav wars themselves instead of relying on Slorenia a magical BalTIC country created out of the ether to sthand in for the BalKAN warzones of the 90s. (Slorenia was kinda cool though.)

@Lazrael32 11 ай бұрын

@@DIEGhostfish yeah most 90's comics tackled things from decent to awful. I was 8 at the time so i'm not sure i picked up on it all. but really it's more realistic that it takes a lot for someone like that to change. usually degrees overtime. it's not an overnight thing. at least from my experiences.

A HUGE thank you to you Merry Marvelite. I was championing Battlestar to get a video for quite some time and you didn't let me down. Another HUGE thank you to all the Patreons who voted for Battlestar in the June Patreon Poll. This video couldn't have happened without all of your votes. So now that I'm done trying to get Battlestar a video I have just one mote thing to say. Have you ever heard of RED NORVILLE, the red headed Thor stand in? I think he needs a video too. AS ALWAYS, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

He got to have some bits in the USAgent mini, the villain was an interesting fellow, when he took his super drug he got aggressively Black Nationalist and mad as hell, sadly Battlestar really only got horribly beaten down while the villain called him an Uncle Tom.
