Anybody reading the Hama continuation of the Marvel run? I just read number 161 today and there were a number of interesting things in this one.

*SPOILER ALERT*

For one, this issue is jam packed with characters and vehicles from the 80's in their classic looks. With some notable and interesting exceptions, one of which was the new POC hisstank! It wasn't just drawn in, it was mentioned in the dialogue as the "new hisstank." Also, the careful look can spot the ROC Rhino (beside what I think is ironically the Mauler). The 25th got some nods as well, the classic vamp is shown with the cables on the gun that were added for the 25th version, and Mainframe has the 25th style upper thigh with the knife sheath. The cartoon got some play time also, which really surprised me. Doc's reflective mirrors are shown in the pitt and Lady Jaye has the cartoon style (and 25th style) javelin backpack. In a departure from all things previous, she fires the javelin like a missile launcher. You can surely tell the artist knows joe, from POC to 25th and classic looks to the cartoon. Toxo viper version 1 even makes and appearance!
