Immortus lures Rick in Avengers #10 by offering him superpowers. At least he didn't offer to star him in a movie like FF9, SpM14 and TtA61!

Only because who would pay to see a Rick Jones film???  Although Rick would fall for it because he sees himself as an Avenger.

Plus the Teen Brigade would've beat him up for not holding out to get them parts in the movie.


I disagree that heroes need a defining foe or arch-nemesis. If villain A is robing a bank, does it really matter if he's stopped by Daredevil, Iron Man, or Mr. Fantastic?


It would matter to the hero's bottom line that month.


These are the Pin-Ups that fans saw this month. (And YES! I had them taped up on my closet door!)


"Had"?  Emot_no


And the picture of the “innocent” Loki sniffing a flower oh-so-gently on page eleven is the ultimate HOOT! This scene is mirrored (of course) in [Audible Documentary wouldn’t want me to tell you where]!

I don't mind if you tell...Them!! Don't tell meLaugh

Just kidding. Tell us all.  (Except Fjor.)

Suggestion: if you don't like the site's embedded "spoiler" function, I hope you'll still refer back to the first instance whenever you reach the second instance in a later Marathon thread. That goes for any spoiler in any title.

You are certainly exacting the maximum punishment on me for my refusal to release more than two years of my tax returns.



Has anyone noticed that both the X-Men and the Avengers split up the same month. The Beast leaves the X-Men and Capt. America leaves (or appears to leave) the Avengers!


That's not splitting up, that's a defection. Nice catch, though.


And yeah!, the Hulk Pin-Up was a nice effort.


It was a nice effort on the part of those gangsters to go up against the Hulk!



It is again reinforced that Giant-Man can also communicate with termites (see TtA55). In the Marvel Universe there must be a great similarity between ants and termites.


In my Marvel Universe, ants and termites go out to eat together on weekends.



This is one of many stories that makes me wonder about the buoyancy of the Atlantians. They walk upon the ocean floor but they also swim. But you or I would float unless we were weighted down!


Great observation! Thanks.


It's a function of density, and may well account for Namor's (Marvel's first mutant) freakish strength, despite his relatively small stature


Nice!



Odin’s behavior is sort of a one-note symphony in these stories. He needs a new tune!


Don't think Sorry's easily said.
Don't try turnin' tables instead.
You've taken lots of chances before, but I ain't gonna give any more. Don't ask me.
That's how it goes, 'cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'.

I am the Eye in the sky
Lookin' at you.
I can read your mind.

I am the Maker of Rules
Dealing with fools.
I can cheat you blind.
And I don't need to see any more to know that I can read your mind.
