Back for more with Kraven, or is it Kraven? Maybe they’ll get around to turning over their cards, I don’t actually remember when they do. But peep the completely incorrect credits on…

SM Annual ’97
Oh boy. I think this is Calypso’s first appearance since McFarlane’s first arc, some 7 years later? That seems almost impossible. And… The Marvel Zombie. In the 70s, when The Comics Code…
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…

SMU 17
I’m glad SMTU is over. 2 oversized quarterly titles was 2 too many, but at least it’s back to 1. This time out, Glenn Greenberg steps through the revolving door on the…
