Tip: Keep an eye out for the recurring character Folma. His existance tends to go rather ignored, since it's hard to keep
all the names that pop up in all
these comics straight.

"I've got a few things to say to you!" - Johnny Storm
OK, did anyone not know who the "mystery villian" really was?
...I didn't think so.
I think this was the first FF story since FF 23 to feature team members questioning Reed's role as leader. Pretty funny to see straight-laced Richards cook
up a costume with a
full-face mask (sporting a huge question mark motif) and then ...

Today was a snow day, so how better to spend it (after shoveling) than another installment of the Marathon?
JIM 109: The Menace of Magneto. The statuary in the Hall of Heroes looks interesting....the artist is unnamed, so is it
Alicia Masters? I can't remember if
she has been disclosed to be a sculptor yet. I also note with amusement that the Aurora plastic model of Thor looks VERY much like ...

Return of Blob! And
Magneto! And the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants! It's like Stan and Jack were so busy coming up with great new concepts in other places
that here in the X-Men they were content to recycle the same small gang of adversaries indefinitely.
I don't understand how Magneto suddenly knows where Blob is, even before the big guy's memory returns. Blob doesn't come across as the ...

Doctor Doom does not appear in this [review]! We just felt like [dropping] his [name]!
Now that I have some color
Human Torch, I'm finally catching up on this one series I wasn't reading for the past half year of the Marathon.
It doesn't look like anyone commented on this story for this thread. I guess I'm not surprised. The story is probably the poorest of the first half of
Human Torch...

Karen's attentions to Matt are pretty cute. "Fun-loving" Foggy isn't getting the kind of reaction from
the new girl that he expected,
though. You can sure tell why he hired her. Maybe they should do sexual harassment defense work.

"I've heard of some shows putting people to sleep...but this is ridiculous!"
This issue almost put me to sleep. I remembered it as being one of the only mediocre issues of Ditko's ASM, and that was borne out. The only parts
I liked were the Matt/Karen/
Foggy bits:
Matt (aside): "Spider-Man is up above the tent!"
Foggy: "If there's anything you want us to describe, Matt......

" More !" - Abner Jenkins
This is the first Strange Tale in which the Thing joins the Torch, and it really improves the feature. It needed the comedy and the interplay. Plus you get
hilarious illos like these:
I read
ASM 21 a long time ago and apparently the Beetle wasn't very memorable. But I'd never read this first appearance before, and it was better than
I was ...

"And Richards'
supersonic air-displacer vortex machine will do it for me!" - Doom
This issue, taken in conjunction with the second Annual, cements the idea that Doom isn't concerned with Sue, Ben, or Johnny. As he said after seemingly
sending Reed to limbo, "I have no further interest in any of you!" He wasn't joking. He's not in a trance, he was merely hypnotized to the...
