I was just reading Kieran O'Callaghan's F.I.S.H. Force in preparation for
using the Red Herring in Just Imagine Saxon Brenton Using An Absurdly Long
Name For A Cascade, and I was thinking. What's the LNH series that you
think is most underrated - that could easily have gotten RACCies on
quality, but was overlooked by the community at large?

Mine is Scott Johnson's Unlikely Aliens. This was a fun series with an
enjoyable cast, interesting ideas, and yay adventure plots. It's been a
big influence on my LNH work; the portrayal of Manga Man way back in the
first Saxon Bloggity-Bloo cascade was largely based on his appearance in
the final issue of this series, and I really want to use the Artificer
sometime. (Not that I don't already have a Magic parody on the back burner.
...shut up.)

So what's your pick?

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, fun comics!

F.I.S.H. Force is terrific-- somewhere on RACC, there's an essay I
wrote about its indisputable brilliance.

There's a few LNH series that are near and dear to my heart, but
they're not really underrated-- I think everyone went gaga for TSK
FORCE, for MISFITS, for LEGION OF OCCULT HEROES, for ANNEAS AND
FERRIS-- so much as new LNHers (as rare as they are) might not be as
familiar with them as we old-timers.

*nods* And it's well-written too! I'm totally quoting it in my review of
the series. (Note: Might not come out until December 21th, 2012.)

True true. Really, everyone needs to read LoH. And I don't just mean
people who like the LNH -- *everyone*.

Man. So good.

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, who's very protective of the
Looniverse. *clutch*
