Who’s gonna draw you better Hulk than Romita, Jr.? Who’s gonna draw a more massive, Earth-shaking Hulk? Nobody. It’s still Mackei, Romita, Jr., Hanna & Wright over here, and we begin with…
ASM 435
Let’s see how Peter loses his Ricochet identity. We open on the hilariously named Bloodscream and Roughhouse, 2 jobbers from Wolverine comics, who’ve been released from prison. One of them has noticed…
