Weekly Update - 3/24/19
Added 2019-03-24 14:41:16 +0000 UTCThis is a big year for big ideas in the Marvel Universe! In the first half of our list alone, we get an all-time great Spider-Man story, the coming of Galactus, our first foray into Wakanda, and Johnny Storm goes to college (all equally important events)! We also say goodbye to Steve Ditko, who was instrumental in getting our favorite web-head off the ground. But the baton is seamlessly passed to John Romita Sr, who will, in effect, become the art editor at Marvel for the next few years.
This week's episode is Marvel Year Five: 1966, due out tomorrow 3/25/19. Please get any 1966 feedback for us to discuss on our next Variant Cover episode by 4/2/19. You can send it to mymarvelousyear@gmail.com.
THE COMICS COVERED FOR 1966, PT. 1 ARE:
Amazing Spider-Man #31 to #33
Fantastic Four #46 to #53
Tales of Suspense #78
In addition, $3+ Patrons will get access to Extra Issues, the bonus newsletter that fleshes out each year's readings. Extra Issues: 1966 will cover how Fury lost his eye, how Professor X lost use of his legs, the intro of the Secret Empire, the Rhino, Mary Jane Watson, and more!
