You heard it here first. Mayhem is the man called Morbius. Hard to imagine how this lightning gag is going to factor into the book, if at all. On art this month,…

Romita, Jr. & Hanna are back for the 2nd half of this Morbius adventure. And I know this blog routinely just derails into a John Romita, Jr. fan club, but look at…

Another reprint! Yeah, well, ASM 101 is expensive. If anyone wants to buy me one, feel free. But, lucky for me, I’ve had this issue of Marvel Tales since it came out,…
