So, here’s how this one starts… I was like “Is this Ben Urich?… So, no then.” I believe this is the first comic on the blog… and the first comic of its…

ASM Annual 16
Strap in, gang, it’s the first appearance of Monica Rambeau, aka the 2nd Captain Marvel! That’s right, the dirt’s barely settled on Mar-vell’s grave and someone else is already jumping on that…

Same creatives, same story. Spider-Man is on the trail of The Juggernaut, slowly leaving the scene of his attack on Madame Web last issue. It doesn’t take long to find him, but…
