Charlton Bullseye #4 introduced us to the Vanguards! Love that cover! This was all the brainchild of writer & accomplished artist Larry (All-Star Squadron) Houston.
The Vanguards, lead by Celestra with Cerebra and Corona, was a good mix of the sci-fi and superhero genres. It's a good, old fashioned comic book. The Vanguards defeat the enemy, the Overloards and, in the end, Celestra is crowned queen, not unlike the original Star Wars series. I liked it and would honestly recommend the Vanguards.

Wow. I just became aware of your blog today, Beach Bumble Comics. Thank you for the review. I'm glad you liked my efforts. I'd like to think this type of fun storytelling helped me become the Producer/Director of the original X-Men TV Series in the 90s. The Enforcers and The Vanguards concepts, I plan on reprinting them first and then do new stories with them, now that I've retired from Animation deadlines this year.
