BUMP
Actually I change my vote, kind of.
Solar 1-4 AND Alpha & Omega,
better than Magnus Steel Nation.
While both have great stories (and artwork) the continuity and planning in Solar is just so tight and well thought out.
From the 2 Seleski's and Solar to the monster Omega panel and the Solar #10 cover. Its gotta be Solar.
