Readers were promised that the New Universe was going back to its roots as "the world outside your window," with new creative teams and new directions on the monthly series. There would be a squarebound book called The Pitt, plus new looks for The Star Brand and other heroes.
Also in this issue, Ralph Macchio gets the spotlight for an in depth interview, in which he discusses his love of both Jack Kirby and Jackie Gleason and much more.
