In ´Castration Complex´ MAP returns to the past to discover a more than dark secret, and in ´Deus Ex Machina´ the secret becomes ever darker. In ´Galactic Guardian´ the darkness of schizophrenia looms, while in ´If music be the food of love ...´ space cowboys ride the range once more. In ´Little Red Riding and Robin - Hoods´ some nursery crymes are committed, and in ´Love Bugs´ MAP irons out a few. In Mobile Armored Personnel (MAP) our hero indulges in some mighty space opera, while ´Mythopoea´ is much more of a cerebral trip. ´Special Angel Service´ sees a return to space operatics, and ´Supramazonic´ is in the tradition of Japanese Manga. In ´The House that Map Built´ we find an ancient shoggoth in its labyrinth, before ´Valhalla For Starters´ for returning space opera buffs. In ´Baby MAP´ our hero returns to his childhood, and in ´Mapina´ he experiences gender education. An evil alien is encountered in ´The MAP Of The Evil Alien´, and in ´"Ride!" she said´ MAP doesn´t argue. Finally, in `Well, it was like this doc . . .` MAP meets the friendliest alien ever, and she isn´t ET!
