Hercules, eh? Hopefully this won’t be quite as silly as the last time these two had a Marvel Team-Up, in Vol. 1, #28, where you may recall Hercules dragged the entire island…
MTU Vol. 2 1
Yes, just 3 months since the cancellation of Spider-Man Team-Up, Marvel Team-Up rides again. Briefly. And the very same month as the end of Untold Tales of Spider-Man, a comic we’ll see…
SSM 20
Our new friend Akasha looks remarkably like Nico from 2000s Marvel sleeper hit Runaways on this cover. Nico even has a big magic staff. Spidey and Akasha quickly catch us up in…

ASM 425
ANOTHER oversized issue! Sheesh! It’s a wraparound cover. Here’s the back: On page one, Spider-Man saves a guy from a mugging while listing his powers for some reason, and then the splash…
