General Discussion

Buck Rogers issue #9 begins with a 21st century flashback scene of Ashley's baby in the hospital.  We then are shown Buck, Huer and Buddy helping with the investigation of the events in the last issue.  They recieve word Wilma has been captured in the floating Han city.  Buck's transuit has no power so Buddy tries to rescue his sister himself and almost gets killed. 

Dr. Huer has an idea of how they can help Wilma.  He takes Buck and Buddy to a bar in a city in the Grand Canyon.  They meet Black Barney who will help then rescue Wilma.

Black Barney is a little too much like Han Solo in this comic. 

The artwork is really good again.  The story had a good flow but the openeing flashback page didn't quite fit in.  Perhaps in further issue we'll see how the events in the 21st century effect the characters. 

There's some humor in this.  Wilma is scrubbed by a bunch of the Air Han leader's women.  She doesn't like it.  Buck has some funny comments about impulsive teenagers.

This was a good issue and I'm looking forward to reading issue #10.
