![]() ![]() With such a long history, I worried that Kings Watch would haphazardly join the group together to “team-up” and capitalize on their names, but I instead was treated to a fun story that made sense in the creation of Dynamite’s “King” universe. Flash Gordon was created to compete with Buck Rogers, Mandrake ended up influencing Zatara and countless other magician comic characters, and The Phantom is considered the first character to sport spandex and the domino mask in fighting crime. ![]() There always was something about King Features Syndicate characters. The series was rather well received by fans and critics. Written by Jeff Parker and illustrated Mark Laming, Kings Watch (also called Kings Watch: Flash Gordon, The Phantom, Mandrake the Magician) is a bit of an origin series for Dynamite’s line of comics. When an organization called the Cult of the Cobra seeks to open the dimensional barriers to a world called Mongo, jock Flash Gordon, Mandrake the Magician, and the mysterious Phantom must join together to stop Cobra before it is too late…and an invasion by Mongo’s ruler Ming could destroy Earth. ![]() All over people are sufferings from recurring nightmares that hint that the Apocalypse is coming. Reprints Kings Watch #1-5 (September 2013-April 2014). ![]()
