Is the title of this story Blood and Iron? Please tell me it's Blood and Iron.

unfortunately the individual issues don't have titles, the whole thing is just "Marvel Action: Chillers"

Begemot did crop out the bottom of that last panel, which has a little text box saying "NEXT TIME: IRON DRACULA!"

Not really. I find them to be more annoying than funny. It's sub-Cracked (the magazine that was sub-Mad) level of humor.
So it won even more decisively before jettisoning the talent that elevated it?

Except it only ran from '67 to '69, not counting the 14th issue in 2017. Look at those writing/art credits.

Ham-and-egger as a boxing term has a real English Cockney rhyming slang feel to it. If it is I wonder what term it was meant to be.
Probably "beggar" in the "can't/won't be able to afford better than ham and eggs" sense.

Been catching up on the stuff around X of Swords because of course it's spread out over multiple titles, so catching up on New Mutants (previously the only post-Krakoa title I'd read) this popped up:

Rockslide died in Otherworld so the version they brought back on Krakoa is a weird multiverse blend of different versions of him rather than a copy of the 616 original.

No, it's not made clear why or how dying in the multiverse overwrites the Cerebro backups with multiverse data. It just does.

The other multiverse deaths + Krakoan resurrections (Gorgon, Wild Child, Nanny) are more "hmm something's off" than "broken" so yeah basically.

Betsy Braddock's most recent resurrection is much more complicated. Involved her soul or whatever being hosted by at least a multiverse alternate and Psylocke before getting a fresh body.

There's an old panel posted somewhere in this thread of Dr Strange just conjuring money up through magic.
Dr. Strange has also been shown to amass as much wealth/gold as he desires using magic, as he has done to pay debts he owed.[citation needed]

also:

"Dr. Strange, with his surgical career over and too vain to accept positions as a consultant or assistant, soon exhausted his fortune following every rumored treatment, no matter how ineffective. In a matter of months, the once wealthy surgeon became a derelict, and resorted to performing a number of shady medical procedures to survive (and pay his growing bar tabs). Strange's guilt over the mistakes of his early life would come to weigh heavily upon him over the years, and his recollections of the time could not always be trusted."
