Golden Age
Man, I'm really starting to burn out from going through these so fast.
JIM 110: Every Hand Against Him...It's entertaining how Loki mundanely bails Hyde and Cobra out of jail rather than transporting them out or something equally magical.
At least Loki goes so far as to beef up the admittedly dismal powers of Hyde and Cobra….though doubling Cobra's powers still doesn't give you much.
since when does Loki bother to obey Odin's edicts on anything when the old man isn't looking?
I love the villains and Jane driving off in a taxi, of all things, while Thor stands looking on helplessly.
XM 8: Unus the Untouchable...If Unus can't control his untouchability, how is it that he's still on the ground?
Hulk vs. Chameleon...Like the Mandarin, The Leader seems to have his own motivations that aren't doctrinaire or beholden to another government.
Av 10...issues 1-10 are not my cup of tea at all.
If the Enchantress can send things back a few days at will, why doesn't she just keep doing it over and over again Groundhog Day style until they get it right?
ASM 19...Is Spidey's little song "All hail the Spider, a hardy breed is he tra la la la la" an original? I thought it might be a parody but Google is not showing me anything that he might have been taking off from. Given that, it's pretty bizarre.
the Sandman just surrenders to the police, apparently sick of dealing with these two teenagers. It seems awfully easy a resolution, but there didn't seem to be any vacuum cleaners around anyway.
Betty's jealousy scheme totally blows up in her face, as so many of these ploys do in this time period. You really see Stan's issues with females in stark vividness in these books.
FF 33: On the Side of the Sub-Mariner...p. 13: Namor goes all Winston S. Churchill
TOS 60: Iron Man Wanted for Murder....We also meet Sergei Amkov, who apparently is played by Robert Shaw.
Cap Battles the Assassins. Nice fakeout with the ersatz Cap at the beginning. But if they're supposed to take Cap alive, how is it that they're assassins?
Rick is in NY here and in the Avengers, but in the Southwest in the Hulk stories, and it's already been observed that Stan's not paying much attention to Rick's chronology. Just stick him in wherever.
