@BackintheBronze Of all 4, I think the one that really had legs was the Champions. It gets better as it develops. The Invaders had nowhere to go, no one has ever known quite what to do with the Inhumans and Skull was like something Kirby would've dreamed up as an excuse to draw dinosaurs.

@BackintheBronze Lorna, Doc, Original Wonder Man (always loved that row of skittles across his ribcage) and Logan's curiously Wakanda-esque Starjammers look.

@lewstringer @johndredge The ones where he gets the better of them are somehow the most fun, but I'd go for A,B & C.

[Richard Collier @Malacoda3]

@johndredge He wasn't. The Senate acquitted him the first time and failed to get a 2/3rds majority the second time. Obviously he wasn't impeached on grounds of being a fascist, racist, rapist, fraud, fantasist or liar, so that wasn't an issue. 😀

@ChrisLangWriter I think a lot of Americans are having the same moment we had on 24/6/16. They just realised that 'we' are not who we think we are.

[Richard Collier @Malacoda3]

@ChrisLangWriter Kamala bet that the number of people who wanted a black, Asian and female president was greater than the coalition of racists, misogynists & people so right wing they would put a convicted criminal in the White House rather than her. Turns out....

@lauralexx Depends what ya got. If you're O neg then you're a universal donor, if you're AB+ then 97% of the pop are not your blood brothers & sisters & very little is needed. They only aim to have 6 days worth of blood stock at any time, but if they said they're low, it's weird.

@ChrisLangWriter Open the pod bay doors, Elon.

[Richard Collier @Malacoda3]

@BackintheBronze Wow. 81 replies and no one went for this. I must be getting old.

[Richard Collier @Malacoda3]

@Sumocat95C @BackintheBronze Not sure you mean Avengers 150? Maybe 151? 150 was mostly a reprint of 16 due to missing the deadline. Marvel published an apology for this issue.

@bigstargazer99 Actually, I reckon you could put Pulp Fiction on this list. It looks like a $100m cast, but Travolta, Willis & co all did it for love (and a career-rejuvenating hit). The entire budget for the movie was $8m.

@bigstargazer99 Orphee

[Richard Collier @Malacoda3]

@postmdernsleaze @bigstargazer99 Yup. Scared the bejeesus out of me.

[Richard Collier @Malacoda3]

@BackintheBronze Modok was surely the stupidest idea ever. How on earth (any earth) did he end up becoming a major villain in almost every title?

[Richard Collier @Malacoda3]

@BackintheBronze Tomazooma, the Living Totem. Epic fail on every level. Straight zero for everything and then minus several thousand points for cultural (in)appropriation.

[Richard Collier @Malacoda3]

@BackintheBronze Roy Thomas's allusions to Robert Browning with Brain Child stuck with me.

[Richard Collier @Malacoda3]

@BackintheBronze I like the Circus of Crime. I mean, they practically invented ineffective, but they looked cool doing it.

[Richard Collier @Malacoda3]

@AndyFixWriter @BackintheBronze Agree but via the Champs.
