REVIEW SCORE 7
This is the only title from the All New Underground Comix series to publish additional issues. Armageddon begins with a chisel-chinned philosophy professor befriending a voluptuous doctor of chemistry as they are both captured by the evil Shitsucker, who imprisons them in an attempt to build a germ bomb and take over the world. All this plotting is primarily an excuse for creator Barney Steel to draw lots and lots of sex scenes, accompanied by some of the most goofy sexual dialog you will ever read. Barney's art is merely competent here, but it gets better in subsequent issues.
