037 - Avengers West Coast #57 - 2/6/1990
I'm sure this will end well for all involved...

New "Fire & Blood Files" for @TheComicon, in which I dig into the big reveal of #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms' third episode, "The Squire," and why it matters! #AKOTSK #Spoilers

050 - Cannonball
Another standout of the set. Dynamic perspective & phenomenal coloring work in the different shades of the blastin' effect.
It's kinda odd Sam's brief history w/the Hellfire Club doesn't come up more.
036 - Marvel Triple Action #18 - 2/5/1974
Reprinting Avengers #24.
Marvel Triple Action issues were super cheap back in the day; read lots of early Avengers that way.

X-Men 2099 is out of the Patreon vault!

049 - Puma
I'm a sucker for these kind of "top-down" perspective cards.
Also, every time I read the word "puma", I read it like Principal Skinner pronounces it ("pew-mah").
035 - X-Force #75 - 2/4/1998
X-Force goes to burning man and Karma comes out!
Cover by Adam Pollina. Interiors by John Francis Moore & Pollina.
048 - Rhino
Very cool that we get some fully painted Bret Blevins stuff in this set.
Hasn't Rhino's suit always been stuck on him, not just "in the beginning"?
New Uncanny X-Men review from me and Adam Reck for @ComicsXF, featuring two things I love (Westerns and Marvel analogs of the Universal Monsters) and one thing I don't love (cat endangerment)! #XMen #UncannyXMen #XSpoilers

034 - X-Men #19 - 2/3/2022
Stan Lee's last issue of X-Men & the first appearance of Mimic! The Silver Age *loves* guys who copied powers.
Cover by Werner Roth. Interiors by Stan Lee & Roth.

Who has the most complicated family tree in comics? I see your Summers Family and raise you a Williams / Vision / Ultron / Pym / Maximoff / Barton (plus a little Summers, and some Rogue) Family.

047 - Annihilus
Ah! Space Dracula!
I have to assume we eventually learned the origin of the ship from which he crafted his control rod, and it was like a
Celestial or Kree ship or something, right?
033 - X-Men Legends #11 - 2/2/2022
I love Apocalypse's goobery original Horsemen so much.
Cover by Walt Simonson. Interiors by Louise Simonson & Simonson.

046 - Domino
Domion's stance & the drape of her arm creates a great sense of exasperation, like she's sick of babysitting horned up 20-somethings.
The back panel image is technically Copycat (as the factoid suggests).
032 - Uncanny X-Men #311 - 2/1/1994
Remember: we got a Sabretooth action figure based just on his appearance in this issue before, say, a Jubilee or Shadowcat figure.
Cover by John Romita Jr. Interiors by Scott Lobdell & Romita Jr.
031 - Avengers (v3) #38 - 1/31/2001
The beginning of Alan Davis' short run on Busiek's Avengers!
Cover by Alan Davis. Interiors by Kurt Busiek & Davis
044 - Ravage 2099
Stan Lee's last notable creation, the 2099 imprint's only original main character. In true Stan fashion, his last name is "Ravage."
They really should have spaced out these #Marvel2099 characters a bit more.
030 - Marvel Two-in-One #51 - 1/30/1979
Featuring some great figurework from Perez on the cover and one of Thing's semi-famous floating poker games on the inside!
Cover by George Perez. Interiors by Peter Gillis & Frank Miller.
