Weekly Update - 2/17/19
🕑 Added 2019-02-17 15:22:15 +0000 UTCThe first half of 1964 lured me in with important first appearances, like the Mandarin, Captain America, and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. But once I sat down to read these issues, I realized... despite their importance I wasn't enjoying reading them. They were often clumsy, weird, and slightly racist (just like my great uncle!).
So I approached 1964 Pt. 2 with a hesitant heart... I'd been hurt before. But Fantastic Four stunned me with the best Thing fight we've seen so far, Avengers wowed me with the addition of time-travelling warlord Kang the Conqueror, and Spider-Man thrilled me with a non-stop action-packed showcase of his greatest villains, the Sinister Six! I learned to love again!
This week's episode is Marvel Year Three: 1964 Pt. 2, due out tomorrow 2/17/19. Please get any feedback for us to discuss on our Variant Cover episode by 2/18/19. You can send it to mymarvelousyear@gmail.com
