Monday Mecha Madness SHOGUN WARRIORS "Raydeen!" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

..an ancient society of benevolent alien scientists called the Followers of the Light have recruited expert human pilots of land, sea, and air vehicles to operate a giant robot named Raydeen against a huge extraterrestrial menace known as Roc-Korr.

The recruits are about to learn why they were chosen and what threat the planet Earth faces...

We'll return to the tale of the three titanic robots next month!

Next week, however, a quite different mechanical man takes the stage!

Don't miss the electronic action!

Monday Mecha Madness SHOGUN WARRIORS "Raydeen!" Part 1

We're Going Mecha at Monday Madness...

...as we feature robots big and small, some sentient, some controled by humans and/or aliens!

You'll have to wait until next Monday to learn the backstory created by writer Doug Moench, penciler Herb Trimpe and inker Dan Green in this never-reprinted tale from Marvel's Shogun Warriors #1 (1979)!
(They ignored all the backstory and plotlines used in the Japanese animated series and packaging info for the toys.)

But we're not totally-heartless!

Here's a kool video about how the Shogun Warriors were assembled by Mattel out of three totally-unrelated robots, all with their own animated series from different Japanese TV studios, but all the toys were from the same Japanese toy company, Popy!

You'll note the TV commercials have the robots interacting with Godzilla, also from Mattel, but the characters never met up in the comics, although both the Godzilla and Shogun Warriors series were drawn by Herb Trimpe!
In fact, Mattel utilized Herb's artwork in some of their advertising!

Friday Fun DASHERS Conclusion

When Last We Left Our DoorDash Deliverers (aka Dashers)...

...all of whom possess super-powers which they utilize in their jobs, the Dashers are unaware of a menace not only against them but all humanity, named Quantyl, whose influence is spreading!

But, perhaps, the Dashers have finally realized that, "With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility!"

(Where have I heard that before???)

Does this mean we could see some of the Dashers as candidates for Avengers Academy?

Not very likely, since this 2022 one-shot comic establishes that there are potentially hundreds, if not thousands of them exist in whatever section of the Marvel Mutiverse this is set in!

Friday Fun DASHERS Part 1

Considering the problems DoorDash is having with the Department of Labor...

...perhaps Marvel's helping to recruit gig workers for them might, in retrospect, not seem to be the best possible partnership!

What is Quantl's insidious plan?

And how are The Dashers involved?

Be Here Next Friday to Find Out!!!

Even leaving out the fact that every single one of these "Dashers" is ignoring the "Prime Directive" of the Marvel Multiverse...

...and using their powers only for personal gain, isn't it weird that only they have superpowers?

Written by Paul Allor, laid out by Steve Kurth, and illustrated by Andrea Olimpieri & Valerio Befani, this promotional one-shot was handed out at NYCC '22, and possibly other conventions.
Trivia:
There are no copies of the comic available on Amazon, but there is one on eBay...marked down to $29.99 from $119.99!
The book isn't listed in the Grand Comics Database!
