Well, he could make a come-back. His fate was unknown after the moon exploded.
Or he could have been removed from the moon before that. The Legion put a sign with "Do Not Touch" next to his bottle - isn't that a big open invitation to every criminal and devious mind in the galaxy?
Shoot, Lashie! I was gonna quip about "going far with a Kantuu Attitude", butcha beat me to the pun...

I recall adequate art from Jimmy Janes and terrible inking by Frank Chiaramonte. The same team that brought us Captain Frake. Even though this is pretty much a criticsm (sp?) I still think back on the whole Janes era fondly, because I was in my early teens, feeling fairly lonely, but loving the Legion. AWWWW..... (Is there an AWWWW graemlin?) Naturally, Lash, you make me want to dig out the issues and re-read them and do some sketches of characters from the story, namely Kantuu himself...

Make sure you do the female starship pilot from the second part of the Kantuu story, Dean!
I liked what was probably a throwaway story point, that the fighter pilots were all women because their reflexes were faster than their male counterparts, who were relegsated to air traffic control.

Wow, for some reason, the writing felt like some kind of trying-too-hard Marvel comic. Even though Kantuu accidentallly smashed the portable mining town and swatted a few fighter ships, he never really seemed like a big threat. This story definitely didn't rate two issues. The art was only adequate as I mentioned above. I can't help but wonder if the story could have been more memorable/enjoyable if it had better art, like by Jim Sherman or someone.
I have to acknowledge Pov's comment about the female pilot, Tage. She was just harassing the heck out of the sensitive, wispy Rin! I mean, yeah, he is kind of a girly man, but she was relentless! She made cracks about his "male intuition" how mining too much has "colored his thinking", he's "moody" and how bad it would be to let an "emotional psychic" like him handle the Kantuu crisis. Yeah, the women have better reflexes, and the men are better at the command base. I think Tage was right about Rin though, because while the other guys are sayig stuff like "Launch squadron two!" Rin's back there thinking, "Lord help them! That creature is so huge-" Tage felt pretty bad when Rin got squashed, though.
