The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 388: 7 Guys of Justice #12, December 2001

http://www.comics.org/issue/894105/

This comic makes me sad for a couple of reasons.

First, it's the second last issue of The 7 Guys of Justice. It's their third-last appearance (don't worry, we'll get there), but the next issue is the last one that was ever produced.

Second, the letters page reveals some tantalizing hints of what might have been. We'd have finished off the hero-killer story, some cool details of which were revealed in this issue. Hunter-Gatherer's story would have been told, which would have been great. And that I'll never see The 7 Guys of Justice Big, Dumb Holiday Special is a great regret.

Mussolini falls again in this issue. Talon is attacked by a person in a panda costume. And Scott McCloud makes a guest appearance. It's not just hyperbole, you know. This really is a great comic.

Onward!
