I thought the post Kirby issues, up until the send big Galactus story were pretty good.<br /><br />DW Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-2972452512306803942016-10-14T01:02:32.739+01:002016-10-14T01:02:32.739+01:00Yes, two helpings of the FF this week - in Captain...Yes, two helpings of the FF this week - in Captain Britain #1 and their final appearance in The Titans. The Avengers move to The Titans next week and six weeks later The Titans merges with Super Spider Man - the mergers musical chairs was now in full swing with plenty more to come. Captain Britain #1 was the first #1 issue of a Marvel comic I ever had, I'd always somehow missed previous #1s and their free gifts. But they could keep the crappy free "gift" in CB #1 - that stupid cardboard mask was an insult and mine went straight in the bin.

And as the word balloons on Marvel covers tended to amount to "Urgh! I'm being defeated in this incredibly tough fight!" and "Ha! My villainy is triumphant!" they end up looking kind of silly.Joe S.

The same may be true for SHIELD. I guess the big switch around must be next week with Avengers moving from MWOM into Titans to replace the FF. And I think I've guessed what the other big change to MWOM is going to be.dangermash aka The Artistic Actuaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669793446608643884noreply@blogger.com
