Want It Got It TPB: Scourge, Justice is Served!

UPDATE: Coming Soon as a TPB. MAYBE, it was listed on Amazon with a release date, but now there isn't one.

Which might be a good thing, because under the product description the only issues listed are...Marvel Fanfare #29; Amazing Spider-Man #278; Captain America #318-320, #358-362; USAgent #1-4...WHAT?!

The TPB would be missing all the cool pop moments Scourge had through most of Marvel's books. To release this as a TPB WITHOUT those sections would be an INJUSTICE to the fans.

Editors at Marvel I've listed them below. PLEASE include these bits, it's what made this storyline so awesome.

Writers and Artist: Various
Created by:
Mark Gruenwald and John Byrne
Publisher:
Marvel Comics (1986)

Includes:
Iron Man #194, The Thing #24 and #33, Secret Wars II #2, Thor #358, West Coast Avengers #3, The Avengers #263, The Amazing Spider-Man #276 and #278, Fantastic Four #289, Marvel Fanfare #29, The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition, Vol. 2 #11, Marvel Age Annual #1, and Captain America #311, #318 and #320


This was a great crossover event without being one! The Scourge would just pop up in one of these books and kill a villain. True most of the villains were the most cheesy of the lot, but still it was pretty awesome. You'd be reading the Hulk and suddenly in the middle of the story this shadowy person would shoot a villain in the head exclaim, "Justice is Served!" Then disappear from the story with no explanation of any kind.

The storyline climaxed with the Scourge killing 18 villains at one time with a machine gun at the Bar With No Name. Eventually, the Scourge was stopped by Captain America but not before he was also killed by an unknown man exclaiming, "Justice is Served."

Scourge had roughly 37 villains to his kill sheet. Damn, that's pretty cool and worthy of a
TPB.
