Halfway done. And it’s into this tumult that new regular (Or perhaps more accurately, “regular”) penciler Steve Skroce drops in. Skroce had been making a big splash in the X-Men comics. To…

Gasp! Everything I know is wrong? But I didn’t want to know in the first place! Time to awkwardly retcon everything DeMatteis was trying to do with these 2 losers because it…
ASM Annual ’96
