Danny Fingroth was proud enough of this joke to put it on a cover. This comic has been very wet. Frank Turner assists on inks this month. First it’s a few awkward…

Lethal Foes 1
Yes, we’re doing this again. For the last time. Well, for the last time in several decades. Somehow, inexplicably, Deadly Foes was hyped as a major event even though it didn’t feature…
ASM 382
Well, we’re back for more of this. Spider-Man and Doc Samson spend 3 pages dodging Hulk and recapping that ends with Samson trying to put Hulk in a chokehold and being thrown…

SMU 02
Finally, we come to the end of this sorry disaster. It didn’t occur to me that Tom DeFalco writing SMU 1 was so unusual. He appears so frequently on the blog, and…
