Question about collecting Solar, and guest appearances.

Post by TheFerg714 »

I'm very close to finally finishing up my VH1 Solar run, but I'm worried that I'm missing out on crucial guest appearances or team-ups.

I already own the entirety of Unity, Secret Weapons #1-2, Detroyer #0, and Chaos Effect Alpha and Omega. Is there anything else I need to be looking out for?

EDIT: Also, how are the Acclaim Solar comics?



Thanks in advance.

Also I wasn't a big fan of the direction for Solar, or much for that matter, in the Acclaim titles

Chaos Effect
Do you think Chaos Effect is crucial to Solar's story? I read through it a couple years back, and remember every series being pretty disconnected.
Magnus the Robot Fighter 6
How is this one?
PSI Lords 3
Is this with Destroyer? Does he play an important role in Psi-Lords? The Valiant fandom shows that he appears in #2, 3, and 8.
XO Manowar 0,3,7,13,29,30
Any further info on this? I'm not too interested in smaller tie-ins, where he just shows up for a second, says hi, and bails.

Not very connected
Magnus the Robot Fighter 6

He is on the cover. I think this is the first time they meet.
PSI Lords 3

Yes that's with Destroyer. They (PSI Lords and Destroyer) battled back in forth several issues and in the Rai/Magnus storylnes
XO Manowar 0,3,7,13,29,30
I known on 13,29, and 30 he fights along side XO against the spider aliens. On 13 and 30 he's on the cover too.

Any further info on this? I'm not too interested in smaller tie-ins, where he just shows up for a second, says hi, and bails.

Magnus 6,7 and especially 8 are essential to Solar's story.
PSI Lords 3

Yes, Destroyer, both versions, with and without beard. I'd call this rather standard action stories. He's important to the stories, but the stories have limited importance. In issue 2 he's just on the last page, setting up for issue 3.
