Puck Part 65: Avengers #323 (Late-September, 1990)


Puck is caught inside Shaman’s Medicine Bag…along with everyone and everything…that got caught in the nuclear blast.
I have this issue.
Judd finds himself, Crimson Dynamo, Quasar, Madison Jefferies, Perun, Orka, Diamond Lil, Tyrak and at least one civilian treading water in a purple ocean with a black sky overhead. They see a vision of Fantasma, who tells them that everyone is inside Shaman’s mystic pouch, trapped among several dimensional planes. Their only hope is to find a nexus that connects all of the dimensions, use it to regroup, and leave the pouch. Judd’s group meets up with the others, but as the first batch of civilians return to reality, they are killed by the radiation they bring back with them. Still trapped inside Shaman’s pouch, Judd and the others meet The Combine - a single entity combining two of the terrorists - who plans to help them return to reality knowing the radiation will poison Earth.
Notes of Interest:
1) Judd doesn’t say or do much this issue other than ask where he is and tread water.
WTF? Moment: As I recall from Alpha Flight #39, Judd can’t swim…which is interesting since he spends a lot of time in water-related stories. He doesn’t seem to be doing much better here, but he does seem to tread water effectively enough.
