Meet Jen Dik Seong — or "Dixie" as she's known to her friends. Korean American, dirt poor, and living on the ragged edge of LA's Koreatown, Dixie's only outlet is the ancient martial art of hapkido. In fact, she's on the verge of winning a championship — until she falls for fellow California surfer boy Adam and gets thrown spectacularly off her game.

"The Damned" follows the cursed criminal-for-hire, Eddie as he is repeatedly killed and reanimated to further the gain of a demon run prohibition era underworld. The world of crime is boiled down to the trading and selling of mortal souls to pay debts, drug costs and collections as the world becomes corrupt and wealthy. When mortal business gets rich, demonic business gets richer, however the souls of the damned only carry so much value.Territory and the upkeep of good business are important too. As a Jack of all trades, Eddie is summoned by "Big Al", a demonic crime boss to investigate and smooth over a peace treaty deal between the two biggest crime families in the city. Eddie has been dead and rotting in a ditch for three days after having his throat cut open by one of his many enemies. Each death brings Eddie closer to a translucent realm of spirits for mere moments before his return to the living. He's pissed, equipped with a pistol, a tailored suit and a plethora of scars, Eddie's gotta play it smart, play both sides, and tap every resource he's got because the fate of his eternal soul may be at stake if the demons dealings go sour.

Eddie has the unfortunate gift of never staying dead. It has come in handy as Eddie walks a tight line between different Prohibition-era mob families, between the demonic and the human, and between our world and the dark afterlife. Yet after years of playing every side in this world of crime and violence, there are those that are determined that Eddie stays dead this time around.

Marvel Triple Action was a reprint title from the 1970's, reprinting older Avengers issues (after the first four issues were devoted to Fantastic Four reprints). For us kids who were growing up at the time, older comics were nearly impossible to get (for those of us in the boondocks, anyway), and MTA provided us with some fantastic Avengers stories that we otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford. By the time I was reading it, the book was reprinting stories from the era when the Avengers consisted of Captain America, Hawkeye, the Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver - a weak lineup, it seemed to me, but the stories were fantastic. Don Heck's art lended itself to dynamic figures, manic action, and fantastic machinery; Roy Thomas was fresh and creative and had a definite vision of super-heroic stories that was a perfect complement to what his mentor Stan Lee had been doing.As time wore on, later issues of the Avengers comic were reprinted. I got to read about the introduction of such characters as Ultron - whom I had always been intrigued with since Fantastic Four #150 - and his creation The Vision, a favorite superhero of mine and some schoolmates. Like Marvel Tales with the Spider-man stories and Marvel's Greatest Comics with Fantastic Four issues, MTA provided kids of the 1970's with beautiful, full-color reprints of classic Silver Age stories that we'd previously only heard about, and all for the same cover price as our regular comics. Even in this day of deluxe Marvel Masterworks and DC Archives, nothing beat the thrill of being able to go to the local comics dealer and pick up classic stories, month after month. Of course, it would help if I could be twelve years old again.
