The comparision to the Teen Titans coming out later is justified, but still, there's no competition. Claremont repeatedly took the characters out of their elements....the fact that he sent them to space was enough. Plus, with Starlin, he sowed the seeds for what eventually became the Cosmic corner of the Marvel UniverseAalok Madhusudan Joshihttp://stilllifephoto.blogspot.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-42969649108840475402012-09-12T09:01:29.254-05:002012-09-12T09:01:29.254-05:00Oh, come on!
