Alpha Flight #54 (1988): Origin of Goblyn

The origin of Goblyn.


Tucked inside this horrible mess of a comic, which is tucked inside a horrible mess of a series, is an interesting idea: A mutant hating couple is pregnant with a mutant baby, so they abort.

Of course, they abort with radiation which just makes the mutant more powerful. It turns into Goblyn. There’s some stuff with a twin who is shunted to another dimension but it’s truly awful and pointless.

It’s not well done. Too bad—this could have gone somewhere.
