Not my favorite rendition of Wolverine. But maybe his first appearance on the blog in his new-ish suit for Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s Astonishing X-Men, which is underway at this point….
Secret War 1
As we’ve seen tangentially over the years, Marvel had some events in the 80s called Secret Wars and Secret Wars II. Secret Wars was allegedly named thus because the toy company who…
ASM 514
Spider-Man’s web has often been portrayed as being so strong he, himself, can’t break it (But certainly not always). Ever since McFarlane popularized the image of him hanging in a bunch of…

FF 513
Look at those boys havin’ fun. We pick up literally the second after last issue. Might be Ben’s favorite show! This is such a wacky one. Hydro-Man goes down the drain, literally,…
