If you gave Aric hugs and kisses, would it be XOXO X-O?

"Unity Yearbook"??

Post by MiamiLoco »

I've seen this on Ebay before. I think it came out in 1997. Has anyone read it?

Unity: The Lost Chapter #1 is called the "Unity Yearbook" on the inside cover.
It is from 1994 (two years after Unity), and sort of tells what Aric (X-O)
was doing the whole time of the Unity storyline.

He meets Solar, then Erica, then some chicks... yep, he gets some.
Then he fights the bionisaurs (gets bitten) -- but we knew that...
Everyone else cameos briefly and X-O gets to do a LOT of poses
with Mike Bair as the artist.

It almost seemed like a Mike Bair "X-O Pinup Book" with Unity as the backdrop.

Overall, it's a fairly nice book, not really part of Unity (since it's from 1994),
but I'd say it wouldn't be a bad book to find for under cover price. :wink:

I thought the story was poor, kinda left a bad taste in my mouth about unity. I definitly skip it when I re-read unity. It really adds nothing. Its like a superman 4. a bad sequel to cash in on a great work.

The art looks great, but what happened to Aric's armor? The laser cannons on the gauntlets have been replaced with hand beams! Did the artist think he was drawing a DC comic or something? :lol:
