#Marvel #Sleepwalker #14 (1992) - 8/10
Interesting idea for a story arc.

1️⃣ "That makes you no better than a junkie!"

2️⃣ SW battles Spectra to get the stolen diamond back, but he wants it for himself. He needs it, in fact. Something which gives the comic an interesting dynamic. The parallels with drug addiction aren't subtle, but they work really well.

4️⃣ It's a lot of fun. The jokey stuff is kept to a minimum, too.

3️⃣ Final appearance of #PoppaWheelie and #WideLoadAnnie, regulars in the #US1 series, who found a new home here (as recurring guest stars) whenever Jennifer went into outer space.

4️⃣ Xemnu won't be seen again for 12 years.

3️⃣ One villain dies. But the other two escape and each will pop one more time in the 1990s.

4️⃣ Only took them four years to get here, but this is the best issue of EXCALIBUR.

3️⃣ In other news, Kylun leaves the team for a while to go home to his family (who probably believe him to be dead). And #Psylocke and #CaptainBritain have a well-written reunion/conversation. Often, words get in the way of a good fight sequence. Or training sequence, in this case. But Davis knows how to narrate action and improve it.

4️⃣ The best moments were probably the lighter ones, scenes with banter/flirting between the regulars. Nicieza seems to like writing Rogue and Gambit.

And the battle that follows is good, with a bed-ridden Tony operating the suit remotely.

3️⃣ Great final page.

#Marvel #IronMan #280 (1992) - 9/10
Very good story.

1️⃣ "Greetings, Anthony Stark. Welcome to the 28th Century."

2️⃣ A really engaging self-contained adventure. Not driven by action/violence. Downbeat ending.

3️⃣ Loved the art, too.

#Marvel #SilverSable #1 (1992) - 6/10
Average.

1️⃣ Silver Sable, #SpiderMan & #Sandman battle HYDRA to save some students held hostage in a school.

2️⃣ 6 pages are wasted on a boring training exercise. The rest is by-the-numbers action. Bland, inoffensive. Having an unpleasant protagonist is something fresh, but the script lays it on a big too thick.

Then that gets forgotten, and our hero stops driving around town to fight some ninjas on the street (and to threaten #Daredevil).

3️⃣ It's entertaining, but disjointed.

But, it could also be that his powers are fading away. Maybe I'm underestimating the author and this is foreshadowing another storyline.

5️⃣ On the whole, this was a chore to read and parts were indecipherable.
