1966 expanded out the Marvel Universe in a ton of interesting ways, but that upward trajectory seems to level out here in 1967. We get some bright spots like Dr. Doom stealing the Silver Surfer's cosmic power and "Spider-Man No More", but overall this year felt kinda status quo... and from what I can see coming up, that's going to be the case for the next couple years. But hang in there, because we're going to see a lot of new blood coming in soon!
Also, I needed to convince Dave to include a Thor issue here, while at the same time we read our second Stilt-Man issue. Something is seriously wrong here.
