Everyone's favourite Impudent Rebel Dog Corsair is back, starjamming his way to planet Earth seeking the X-Men's help. This is another Cyclops episode and a serious improvement over No Mutant is an Island featuring old One Eye. This ep made me a huge fan of Starjammers and would've loved another ep featuring these guys and I definitely want a wave of Marvel Legends action figures now. All praise aside we do have some knit picks so buckle up.- Bender
