Or Suicide in a hall of residence somewhere near Colindale. Side two is pretty much unimpeachable - banger after banger #November1981 #whatamonth

I think this is a *ahem* fantastic conversation. As one myself, I always like that Ben looks like a mug in his human form.

Coming from the American Southwest as I do, the first appearance of The Rangers superteam exited me! I was already a Red Wolf and Night Rider fan so I’m glad to see them again.

She has her boots and pistols that shoot paralyzing stars and that’s all I know so far.

I never liked Henry Pym and this is the moment he became a villain. Always a bad partner, Hank has been growing more and more emotionally abusive and now has started being physical as well. Fuck this guy.

Carol Danvers calls the Avengers out for a great and gross failing of the times and the writers. Chris Claremont was always disgusted by this storyline and took the opportunity rightly to call them out on it.

It only takes the first two panels of Rogues first appearance to lay out her whole deal. Efficient. I miss this kind of economy of storytelling in comics.
