Nuclear missles fired over cities by The National Guard... A world run by nuclear power... Gargoyles and Giant Lizard Men and Stone Men and a Moleman... Tunnels running through the earth's core...Space rockets that can land on Earth via autopilot... Kind of makes the Fantastic Four seem tame by comparison. I'm not sure how one can rate this 4 stars. It may have spawned great future works, but as a standalone, it's kind of a hodgepodge of garbage. Or maybe it's just missing 4 Unicorns, 2 Martians, an elephant, some Commies and a disintegrating ray. Moleman's sad tale and blind monk skills push it to 2 stars.
