This is one of the issues where I felt the series started to find it's feet and establish the sort of quality, characterisation and story telling which became it's hallmark. If the series had have stayed this good throughout the later issues, it might have survived longer, although whether or not it could have survived without the toyline or Hasbro's blessing is debatable.
