Sgt Fury #19: Agent X is a pretty mysterious name. It should be used more. Accountant X. Hairdresser X. Custodial Engineer X. The possibilities are X-tensive.
Strange Tales #134: Thing/Torch song of so long. That was definitely something I read and you guys talked about it. Yep. Right-a-roonie.
Dr Strange’s soul might as well be walking on the sun. That was pretty awesome. And I know not to apply science to the magic story, but I can’t resist thinking, how fast can a soul travel? Is there a Speed of Soul?
White-haired woman did much better distracting Dormammu than Betty Brant did in ASM #25. “Oops, I dropped my papers. I better crouch over here by the barrier holding the Mindless Ones and scoop them up. Hope I don’t accidentally hit the switch that frees them… aaaand they’re out. Sorry big D.” I kid, but it was very awesome to have her help Strange in an important way.
Golly Jon, I’m so sorry. I could swear you were saying the actor’s name correctly. Haven’t you been saying “Bedknob Cucumber-patch”?
Tales of Suspense #67: Iron Man versus the Master of Dre-no. No. No. This was lame. Powers were lame. Name was lame. Origin if you could call it that, lame. Ugh! At least, Pepper talked to Happy. Hey, any chance Happy is related to Crusher Hogan? Oooo, I bet they’re cousins!
Captain Amesmerized! Yeah, Bucky was in top form this story. But if he doesn’t stop that bullet on the final page with his hand, and replaces it with a bionic one, I’ll be disappointed.
Congrats on reaching the big 9-0! Looking forward to the next 90 episodes!
Until next time, or until Torch and Thing team up with a little girl and a big red dinosaur, make mine Make Ours Marvel!
