TAC 141
Well, here we go. It’s The Punisher’s moment. He was popular from his inception, but as comics trend ever darker, meaner and more cynical in the late 80s & into the 90s,…
TAC 140
Seems like a meeting you don’t want to attend. It’s the day after last issue’s grim cliffhanger, and Robbie is in the hospital surrounded by his family, maybe paralyzed, maybe worse. Peter…

MTU 122

ASM 233
This is an awkward place to start, but as we will see, The Tarantula only attacks Spider-Man from the left on a on yellow background. Those are the rules. Welcome back to…
