Nothing! Not even a full team of X-Men! What hope does our man have in the face of such destructive power? Stern, Romita, Jr., Mooney & Wein remain the creative team. Things…

What lurks behind Ed Hannigan’s Frank Miller impression? Seems like a lot! It’s been a minute since I’ve seen a Spectacular. This one’s by writer Bill Mantlo, penciler Ed Hannigan, inker Al…

This is one of a few in the collection that comes from a magical place called McKay’s. It’s a giant used everything store. If you need the new Spider-Man game, a PS2…
