Byrne-ing to Read: "The Inner War!" by Gruenwald, Macchio, Byrne, and Sinnott

This is it, Groove-ophiles! The Pegasus Project officially begins here with "The Inner War!" from Marvel Two-In-One #53 (April 1979)! Mark Gruenwald, Ralph Macchio, John Byrne, and Joe Sinnott get it all together here--and when Ol' Groove says "get it all together", he means it! The Thing, Quasar, Thundra, Deathlok, Wundarr, and intrigue galore--and there's lots more to come! Why do we still talk about Project Pegasus over thirty years after it was published? 'Cause it's everything a Marvel story should be! Fantastic storyline and concepts, incredible art, and amazing guest-stars! If you've never experienced Project Pegasus, you're in for a treat!

Byrne-ing to Read: "The Day the World Winds Down" by Macchio, Byrne, and Friends

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! We're back with another chapter of the Project Pegasus prelude! Hey, if you asked most folks when John Byrne drew his first ish of 2-in-1, they would probably say ish #50--and they'd be el wrong-o! For some reason, MTIO #43 (June 1978) falls through the cracks! Dunno why! Not only does it have fantastic Byrne art (with inks from Byrne and others from the looks of it), not only does it feature bashful Ben Grimm, Captain America, and Man-Thing, but it also features the Cosmic Cube aaaaaaand it leads directly to the near-legendary Pegasus Project arc that is known and beloved by so many! And hey, no one less than Walt Simonson inked Byrne's pencils on the cover! Oh, yeah, Ralph Macchio's story is pretty cool, too! Are you ready for..."The Day the World Winds Down"?

Team-up Week! Our Pal Sal: "Entropy, Entropy..." by Macchio, S. Buscema, Alcala, and Grainger

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Welcome to Team-Up Week here at Groove City! We're kicking the week off with part one of one of the greatest storylines of the 70s, and absolutely the greatest run in Marvel Two-In-One's history: Project Pegasus! This legendary storyline started with Marvel Two-In-One #42 (May 1978) with "Entropy, Entropy..." written by half of the legendary writing team of "The Two-In-One Twins", Ralph Macchio with art by Our Pal Sal Buscema with inks (for the first three pages) Alfredo Alcala and (for the rest of the ish) Sam Grainger! The Thing, checking on his "ward" Wundarr (Steve Gerber's Superman parody) at The Project, where he teams up with Captain America to battle Victorious and his Entropists who have taken control of The Cosmic Cube! Next week we'll be back with part two, but until then, enjoy, baby!
