It’s especially weird given that like you say she’s still keeping up her secret identity to an extent — unless she’s bluffing to Vance with that.<br /><br />I’m also with you on the color-correction thing not really holding up on various fronts.<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-3154366436211933042016-08-17T12:06:46.916-07:002016-08-17T12:06:46.916-07:00Technically that's the first battle in the Dar...Technically that's the first battle in the <i>Dark Phoenix Saga</i> proper.Teemunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105844689832543332.post-6219282778868992282016-08-17T09:55:24.219-07:002016-08-17T09:55:24.219-07:00Good point; I forgot about that!

And for that matter, like your point about the issue being advertised as containing pics of She-Hulk, wouldn't the printer KNOW the pics should be green? <br /><br />Also, is TJ Vance meant to be a Stan Lee stand-in? He kinda resembles him, but I can't recall where Byrne stands on ol' Stan.

Vance, like Dr. Strange, has a Sanctum Sanctorum. <i>Hustler</i> having nothing on the mag sounds like an oversell though. But having <i>The Naked Truth</i> for the name that can be and is shortened to T.N.T... great world-building with such a detail. Pearls to the swines great. <br /><br />"I would like to have a few words with you." Methinks that other Avenger delivered the line better, verily.Teemunoreply@blogger.com
