Whew, that Howlers story was pretty intense! I must admit, I still have trouble telling the Howlers apart, but I think I got it: Fury, Dum-Dum, some guy, some other guy, trumpet guy, another guy, and Ned Beatty as “Dean Martin” from “Back to School”.
Yeah, I caught on right away that the “Mystery Villain” was Reed. That story was ridiculous and not in a good way. But Reed’s costume made me laugh. There’s a question mark on his face. He’s the “Mystery” villain with a question mark on his face! Oh sweet Aunt Petunia!
Dr Strange vs Dormammu part 2 was really good. The twist that Strange winning would have bad repercussions was excellent. And Ditko’s art is amazing. Glad I started following this one. I’ll have to go read the previous Dr Strange issues to catch up. You guys do know you’re controlling my Marvel Unlimited app reading habits right now, yes? I’ve lost all control!!!
Dormammu’s Dormommy and Dordaddy! LOL! You guys are hilarious!
Spidey Strikes Back was grrrrrrreat! Even the crazy ups and downs with Betty. “Peter doesn’t care about me, so I’m going to leave him and date someone else. Wait, he’s not upset about it? Oh no, have I lost him by dating another guy?” So yeah, pretty crazy. But it’s not over yet by a long shot.
Those 3 panels of Jonah when he gets the news Spidey is back. They were glorious!
Until the Sandman becomes a good guy, and teams up with Spider-Man to fight … the Enforcers… make mine Make Ours Marvel.
