The Peter/Fisk prison scene is prefaced by the Kingpin ransacking his cell and uncovering a literal giant sack of cash that he had hidden in there which he uses to bribe a guard. It's really fuckin stupid.

Really hard to read this without hearing Cap sound like Moe Szyslak. Marvel 2-in-1 #4 And this I just thought was surprising:  Marvel 2-in-1 #1 Didn't expect a comicbook to use the word "porno" in the mid-70s.

Show of hands, after reading "porno", did the magazine title look like "Titties" to anyone else?

Yes. I didn't see it originally in context but as soon as I isolated the panel Titties was staring me in the face.

A few years later in 1980, right when Kitty Pryde is introduced, Wolverine is right out there in front of everybody reading Penthouse and Playboy at the drugstore (well, I mean, we get PENTHO- and PLAYB- before some coy panel cropping so maybe he was reading Playbeast and Penthoggoth, who knows).  Edit: come to think of it both issues are prime examples of superheroes being truly awful to small-town shopkeepers.

Is the next panel Colossus (I assume that's Colossus) clocking Wolverine after the distraction to avoid an incident?

Funny that Wolverine's original character was pretty much a permanently angry jerkass.

And in the premiere issue. Right from the very first splash page he's tearing up the guy's store. Took me years to realize that Marvel Team-Up and Marvel Two-in-One were really just "Spider-Man series #2" and "Thing spin-off comic". Like they were afraid of saying it plainly or didn't want to write themselves into a corner of always having to use those two. But they didn't use that freedom much. In Team-Up, Spider-Man is only missing from 10 of 150 issues.

Did anybody ever read the Marvel Team-Up reboot they gave to Robert Kirkman during his brief run at Marvel? In retrospect, fairly prototypical Invincible (or maybe one of the Invincible spin-offs), but without the ultra-violence.

Could not imagine reading an entire drat series about the Thing. The Two-in-One series is only interesting for who they pair him with and that's exactly how I'm reading it, just skipping ahead to characters I want to see.

I didn't read it, but I know Kirkman invented a kinda cool new gay character then brutally killed him. Freedom Ring (which is a cringeworthy name in 2018), he could alter reality, but only within like a four foot radius around himself, it's the kinda thing a good writer could go whole hog on with cool poo poo but still be able to maintain decent stakes for the comic, except he got stabbed a million time at once by an evil alternate universe Tony Stark called Iron Maniac. That actually would have been a good character to bring back with zero explanation as to how they're alive again after Secret Wars.

It was definitely an interesting power (the radius was wider though, 15 feet) but I'm still not sure if it should have affected reality completely or just non-living/inorganic matter. With the ring he was able to augment and heal himself but if he could control reality within that distance he would have been able to completely manipulate or transform any villain he came across.

Right from the very first splash page he's tearing up the guy's store. The Thing is a 1000 times more interesting when he has someone to play off of, and Ben Grimm has been my favorite character since I was about 5. The solo series in the 80s wasn’t too bad, especially once they got him off Battleworld and had him wander the country. I just loved going back and finding those two in one back issues to see how he found a way to wander into some other hero’s turf  And I always thought Marvel Team Up was conceived as a Spider-Man/Human Torch book, but they got sick of it real quick and just had Spidey meet whoever they wanted. Torch then became the go-to character when Spider-Man needed a break.

He's good in small doses. And like GBTribefan, he's way better when playing off someone. That's why the idea of a Thing solo series sounds bad, because it sounds like the opposite of those two things.

I feel like the only way I'd like a The Thing solo is if they went full camp with it. Like the Batman: Brave and the Bold animated series a few years ago, make it so that the hero is the straight man to every zany thing in the universe.

Sounds like the Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur comic, except there was some point where she embraced the lunacy and I forget what issue it was.
