Hey guys. Sorry. I’ve apparently been slacking on leaving comments, but no more! Let’s go!
Journey Into Mystery 95
-You guys need to do a bit more research on the time periods these books came out and earlier. You see, up until the early 1970’s they didn’t have different branches of scientific study. If you went to college for science, you went for all science. Medical, electric, biology, robotics, mad. All of it.
-I think my favorite version of the villain’s name that Mike came up with was Xanadu. Mostly because after that I kept on picturing Olivia Newton-John playing the character. That might be a way to somewhat enjoy the story Mike.
-Duplicating cats? Damn, Bob Barker would really hate this guy!
-Now, the bad original of Xanadu died (because he learned of Thor’s identity), but the duplicate would know right?
Tales To Astonish 47
-Pipes were handed out with your diploma when you graduated from “Science School”
-Ahhhh. The 1960’s. When jazz clubs were so popular that the owners had the power to deport people. It was a weird time in American history.
Fantastic Four 18
-Well the Super-Skull does have a flag. He now owns the Earth. Thems the rules!
