Sorta half way through this set comes this oddity. As the remit of this blog is obviously comic books, one would think a novel outside my purview. And beyond that, one would…

TAC 015
Oh my goodness, is Spider-Man going to lift a heavy thing?? Now with 500% more bacon! Ernie Chan is now embellishing and Sam Kato is coloring as we head into the finale…
TAC 014

MTU AN 02
This comic is very weird for a very specific reason wholly unique to my copy: The spine is missing, but it’s somehow not falling apart. I really don’t know what’s going on…
