Kind of interesting that two of the Nacelleverse’s recent acquisitions are currently next to each other in my old pack-in minicomic list. It’s also the only other one currently on the list. Last time we checked in with the classic Robo Force, and now it’s back to Symbion…one of the continuities that shouldn’t fit into a shared universe because it takes place on Symbion, a planet where technology has been lost and thanks to a plague accidentally created in a lab (sound familiar?) the planet all mutated into bug people with telepathic giant bug friends. The question of how they got to Detroit can, as of this writing, only be told in a joke at Detroit’s expense.
Nacelle put out their Sectaur toys last year while I wasn’t paying attention. However, we’re going back to 1985 (cue Bowling For Soup song) and the original Coleco toyline. They actually had minicomics, which we’ve look at before thanks to the website Sectaurs.com. (Please don’t hit them, Nacelle. I have reviews to write and this isn’t a toyline for me to collect even if I had money. Plus these are old, out of print minicomics and shouldn’t affect you.) It’s the fifth comic in the group, focusing on the Dark Domain’s elite warrior Waspax and his loyal companion Wingid. Wingid is not one of the rideable puppet bug but a smaller giant insect, like his own puppy pal if the puppy were a giant insect. Most dogs aren’t.

It’s too bad there are no credits in these comics. The art is pretty good for not using DC, Marvel, or Dark Horse. Unfortunately I’m not working with the highest quality scans. Just to read them I had to open them in a new tab and zoom in. You can try to read along but that’s what I’m working with when it comes to the images.
