As difficult as it’s getting to keep the timeline straight, why not toss in another annual? Why not publish one more book to potentially contradict everything? Well, they did. Looks like a…

MTU 146
The timeline here is getting exhausting. This issue makes it plain that it takes place after ASM 257, which continues from 256 and right into 258. I can’t reconcile this. Editorial messed…
TRANSFORMERS 3
Haha, what? Yes, this is happening! Did you know Marvel Comics was heavily involved in the creation of GI Joe & Transformers in the 80s? Transformers was like 2 or 3 different…

ASM 255
The Red Ghost! The weird Fantastic Four villain with 3 superpowered ape assistants tangled with Spidey back in ASM 223, and he’s back! Page one, returning penciler Ron Frenz borrows one of…
