Boy, that “prologue” in SSM 18 leading into this feels like forever ago. Too much product in this era, man. I got 6 blocks left from various points before Spider-Man had 3…

Batman & Spider-Man
It’s funny this worked out, that the 2 crossovers happened in consecutive blocks despite being almost 2 years apart. And look at that cover, man. Marvel was just smoking DC in art…
X-Men 346

TAC 248
At least I paid a fair price for it! If I understand the cover dates correctly, this issue actually published in June of 1997. The month after I finished high school. We’ve…
