It is utterly insane to me that this is a 3-issue story. Professor. Power. Is meant to keep Spider-Man and the X-Men at bay for a 3-issue story! Bonkers. Bananas. Other such…

TAC 197
I haven’t read this one. Can’t wait to see how sad DeMatteis can make a crossover between Marvel’s most popular characters. It’s pretty shocking, in retrospect, how little Spider-Man and The X-Men…
ASM 282
The last of this blog’s 25th Anniversary covers. We’re treated to another issue by Rick Leonardi this month, now inked by Bob Layton with Nel Yomtov on colors. We open on Flash…

The Death of Captain Marvel
