i'm back on my "mcu steve was in the darkest timeline because he never experienced the canon event of tony stark giving him a home and a family" bullshit. post-ice steve was isolated, grieving, lonely, going through ptsd and survivor's guilt and he was constantly fixated on how he had no home or family or identity beyond cap. post-ice in the mcu, SHIELD stuck him in the costume and sent him back into the field, reinforcing the idea that he was nothing more than the empty shell of captain america.

"All my life I've tried to find a place for Steve Rogers—but still he lives under the more colorful shadow of Captain America… Perhaps it's Steve Rogers who's the legend—and Captain America who is the reality! Perhaps I was born to be a red-white-and-blue Avenger—and nothing more! But there must be more to life than endless combat! Others have found a home—a family—why can't I? Or, is Steve Rogers destined to walk alone forever—until the final battle—until he walks no more?"

— Tales of Suspense Vol. 1 #75 (1959)

"[...] But, even in the center of a crowd, I'm an outsider—a misfit! Only when I'm costumed as Captain America do I seem to come alive—to have a mission—a purpose! But, as Steve Rogers, I'm merely a name—a hollow shell—with no roots—no real life to call my own! Other men have friends—wives—loved ones!"

— Tales of Suspense Vol. 1 #92 (1959)

in the comics, the canon event of tony stark, the first person steve meets in the 21st century, giving him all of those things — a purpose, a home, somewhere to belong as himself and not just cap — changed his entire life.

"The first week after I came out of the ice… It was a dark time. I'd lost everything. My best friend. All my friends. All I had. I didn't know what I could hang on to. And then Tony Stark came in with this little… handheld cinema. Future technology. He showed me a newsreel. Right there, I saw a man walk on the moon. For all mankind. And in that moment, I felt hope again."

— S.W.O.R.D. Vol. 2 #6 (2021)

"Mr. Stark, when I woke up in this era, I had no one. Nothing. You gave me a purpose. Somewhere to belong… You gave me a home."

— Iron Man/Captain America: Casualties of War (2006)

meeting tony and the avengers, creating those friendships and connections, living at the avengers mansion with them, gives steve hope that he can still find happiness and belonging in the present day.

i always found it ironic that in the mcu steve projects this ideal of happiness and domestic life onto tony. this scene in ca:cw is a perfect example of that disconnect between the reality and what steve assumed on the surface was tony achieving what he never could — having a partner, his own family and kids. (the fact that cacw tony is 4 seconds away from a heart attack at all times and too busy running around firefighting PR crises just further drives home the irony.)

and then in a cruel twist of fate, mcu actually gives tony all of these things: home, family, wife and kid. we see steve witnessing tony having these things and knowing it's all possible, but just not for him and not in this era. (and ultimately, tony only gets to have these things for a brief period of time before having to give it all up.)

mcu steve never got to have the experiences that have shaped every other universe's steve rogers. the presence of tony stark, his friendship, his home, his love (whether platonic or romatnic), that formed the foundation of steve's purpose within the avengers, is intrinsic to steve finding hope and happiness in the modern day. the mcu changing such a crucial canon event rewrote not only the core of mcu steve's story but the trajectory of the cinematic universe. and in the end, the writers sent steve back to the past because they believed after 6 movies and 7 years, he had nothing left to live for in the present and i honestly can't think of anything more tragic.

I once mentioned how I had a reading list for Marvel in my phone's notes app. I've tried to sort it by character, and it's mostly just a collection of Marvel Masterworks so far. I'm mostly reading whatever I can find online, of course. (if I can't find a masterwork, I read whatever I can find online). Here's some of it:

Marvel Masterworks: The Fantastic Four Vols 1-19: Everything from issue #1 to issue #218, right before John Byrne starts writing. For me, all this is peak fantastic four. Because as previously noted, I don't think I'd care for John Byrne's run.

Marvel Masterworks: Iron Man Vols 1-12: Everything from the beginnings back in Tales of Suspense, down to Iron Man #112. So everything up to right before the Demon in a Bottle storyline, give or take a few issues.

Marvel Masterworks: The Avengers Vols 1-16 and 18: Everything from Issue #1 up to Issue #163. All of Stan Lee, Roy Thomas and Steve Englehart's runs. Then I refuse to read Masterwork 17, because I hate the Korvac saga. So we pick back up for our finale with volume 18 and issues #178-188. Or the issues directly preceding the disastrous issue #200, give or take a bit.

Marvel Masterworks: The X-Men Vols 1-7: All the old stuff. The entire original X-Men stories, from #1 to #66. Plus the solo Beast stories from the 70s, and some other solo or crossover related X-Men stuff. This is the last X-Men thing I'll read, as I hate Chris Claremont's X-Men. Quite a lot.

Marvel Nasterworks: Nick Fury, Agent of Shield Vols 1-3: All Nick Fury's classic spy stories. These seem fun, honestly. I haven't read much spy fiction, but this sure sounds more interesting than Nick Fury's old ww2 stuff.

This is just some of it. If you want me to share more, I can try to. it'll probably be a bit dull to read, but it might be nice to share it.

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

Super Secret Supplemental - SHIELD

S.H.I.E.L.D (or the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) was an international peacekeeping, law enforcement, and counter-terrorism agency sanctioned by the United Nations. They were led by a director who reports to the World Security Council and the agency was composed of members from various nations. SHIELD was founded to combat technologically advanced threats on world security (specifically the menace of Hydra); and they remained throughout the years on the front lines, fighting terrorism, supernatural threats and extraterrestrial menaces as an international intelligence agency.

Following the Secret Empire event, SHIELD was formerly dissolved. Some elements of the organization remain operational, overseeing ‘black site’ prisons and handling the transition of its duties to other intelligence agencies.

Many individuals have served as agents and operatives for SHIELD over the years. Some of the more notable agents include the following:

Colonel Nicholas Fury Sr. was one of the organization’s earliest recruits and he quickly matriculated to the role of director. The character is portrayed by actor Samuel L. Jackson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; Nick Fury’s first appearance was in the pages of Sgt. Fury #1 (1963).

Commander Timothy Dum Dum Duggan had been Fury’s colleague among the Howling Commandos during the Second World War. He joined SHIELD and would go on to be Fury’s right-hand man, rising to the rank of director for a time. Duggan additionally headed up SHIELD’s Godzilla division as well as its monster-oriented new Howling Commandos. Actor Neal McDonough portrayed the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Duggan first appeared in the pages of Sgt. Fury #1 (1963).

Agent Maria Hill became the director of SHIELD following Fury’s ouster and served in the position during the first Superhero Civil War. Hill stayed on as second in command during the time that Tony Stark acted as director. Her hawkish attitudes and supreme distrust toward super powered individuals ultimately led to her being dishonorably discharged from the organization. Maria Hill features in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portrayed by actress Cobie Smulders. The character first appeared in New Avengers Vol. 1 #4 (2005).

Natalia Romanova, also known as The Black Widow, joined SHIELD following her defection from the former Soviet Union. She has served on and off with the organization throughout her career as an Avenger and solo super hero. Actress Scarlet Johansson portrays the Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The heroine first appeared in the pages of Tales of Suspense #52 (1964).

Sharon Carter, Agent 13, is the niece of Peggy Carter who fought the Axis Forces alongside Captain America in the Second World War. Agent 13 would go on to have many abetters alongside Captain America and the two became lovers. She was believed killed in action but later returned and resumed both her position as an agent of SHIELD as well as her romance with Cap. Actress Emily VanCamp portrays Sharon Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Agent 13 first appeared in the pages of Tales of Suspense #75 (1965)

Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America, maintained a partnership with SHIELD throughout many of his adventures in the modern era. He was offered the directorship over the organization in the wake of the Dark Reign storyline. An evil doppelganger of Rogers would go on to take over SHIELD, using it to forward the agenda of Hydra. Although the doppelganger was ultimately defeated, the ordeal resulted in the official dissolution of the organization. Actor Chris Evans portrays Cap in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The hero first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (1941).

The Inhuman heroine, Daisy Johnson, was sought out by Nick Fury during a time in which he was conducting covert affairs for SHIELD. Fury placed Daisy in charge of an unsanctioned operation to topple a regime in Latveria. Having gained Fury’s trust, young Daisy was offered level 10 clearance at SHIELD, effectively making her Fury’s second in charge. Following Fury’s ouster, Daisy briefly served as the organizations director before Maria Hill’s political maneuvering forced her out. Actress Chloe Bennet portrays Daisy Johnson in the television series Marvel’s Agents of Shield. The young heroine first appeared in Secret War #2 (2004).

Agent Melinda May earned a reputation as one of SHIELD’s most effective field operatives. Her quick thinking and highly proficient combat skills helped her save the day on many occasions, earning her the nickname ‘The Calvary.’ May was chosen by section commander, Phil Coulson, to lead a team to take down a terrorist cell that had obtained the mystical Uru sword. Following the dissolution of SHIELD, May has gone on to become an agent for The FBI. Actress Ming-Na Wen portrayed Agent May in the television series Marvel’s Agents of Shield. The heroine first comic book appearance was in Agents of SHIELD Vol. 3 #1 (2014).

Agent Gabe Jones served as a member of the Howling Commandos during World War II. Following the war, Fury recruited Jones to become an agent of SHIELD. Jones became a top operative and was a crucial part to bringing down the nefarious organization known as The Secret Empire. He would later be a part of the SHIELD task force to contain the monster Godzilla. Jones featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe portrayed by actor Derek Luke. The hero first appeared in the pages of Sgt. Fury #1 (1963).

Having graduated top of his class at the SHIELD training program, Agent Jasper Sitwell earned a position as Director Fury’s chief assistant and secretary. In this role, Sitwell (then known as Agent 22) periodically stood in as temporary director during times in which Fury was on assignment or otherwise unavailable. Sitwell later acted as the official liaison between SHIELD and Stark Industries, which led to many adventures involving Iron Man and the hero’s many foes. A decidedly less heroic version of Jasper Sitwell featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, portrayed by actor Maximiliano Hernández. The agent first appeared in the pages of Strange Tales #144 (1966).

Agent Victoria Hand had been an accountant at SHIELD who voiced significantly hawkish views on how the organization should be run. Her notions caught the attention of Norman Osborn who had been made director of SHIELD following the Secret Invasion event. Osborn promoted Hand as his chief lieutenant and she essentially acted as director in that Osborn was often preoccupied with his various diabolical schemes. Hand remained with the organization following Osborn’s ouster and the new director, Tony Stark, assigned her as the official liaison to the Avengers. She was later killed in action. Actress Saffron Burrows portrayed Hand in the television series Marvel’s Agents of Shield. The agent first appeared in the pages of Invincible Iron Man Vol. 2 #8 (2008).

The enigmatic Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine joined SHIELD because she was bored by her life of privilege and luxury. Her keen tactical mind and fierce combat skills helped her rise through the ranks and she soon became a top agent. She also became romantically involved with Nick Fury, ultimately leading her to be transferred to the European branch to avoid the appearance that Fury was showing favoritism. The Contessa would briefly act as director of SHIELD yet was secretly involved with a villainous cabal known as Leviathan. Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus portrays the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Contessa first appeared in the pages of Strange Tales #159 (1967).

Alphonso ‘Mac’ Mackenzie had acted as a liaison between SHIELD and the CIA before formerly becoming an agent of SHIELD. He quickly became a top agent, frequently working alongside fellow agents Jasper Sitwell and Jimmy Woo. Something of a luddite, Mac was highly distrustful of SHIELD’s increasing reliance on advanced technology. His suspicions in this regard proved crucial in preventing the organization from being taken over by The Deltite Corporation, thwarting the plan to replace all top agents with Life Model Decoy androids. A version of Mackenzie featured in the television series Marvel’s Agents of Shield, portrayed by actor Henry Simmons. The agent first appeared in the pages of Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. #3 (1988)

Agent Sidney Levine, often known as The Gaffer, had been a fighter pilot during World War II. Following the war he became involved in creating special effects for Hollywood. He ingenuity for gadgetry resulted in his being recruited into SHIELD. Working in conjunction with technicians from Stark Industries, The Gaffer was responsible for many of the organizations most ingenious weapons and devices. The agent first appeared in Strange Tales #159 (1967).

Phillip Coulson served as an Army Ranger stationed in Afghanistan. During his service he became close friends with fellow Ranger, Marcus Johnson. After Johnson learned he was the son of Nick Fury he ended up recruited into SHIELD and Coulson signed up alongside him. Coulson would go on to become a top operative and oversaw his own squad of agents. Coulson was later apparently killed by Deadpool in the opening salvos of The Secret Empire Event. Yet it turned out that Coulson was resurrected by the villainous of Mephisto who then used Coulson as a pawn in the creation of the government-sanctioned super-team, the Squadron Supreme of America. Actor Clarke Gregg portrayed Coulson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His first comic book appearance was in the pages of Battle Scars #1 (2011).

Marcus Johnson, born Nicholas Fury Jr., grew up unaware that he was the son of Nick Fury and that he had inherited the ‘infinity formula’ from his father. This led him to being targeted by the villainous Orion who sought to extract the formula from him so to save his own life. He was saved and ended up following in father’s footsteps, joining SHIELD. Nick Fury Jr first appeared in Battle Scars #1 (2011).

Agent Jimmy Woo worked for the FBI leading a task force hunting down the international crime lord known as The Golden Claw. He was later recruited into SHIELD and aided the organization in finally taking the Claw down. He remained with SHIELD participating in many missions and acting as part of SHIELD’s Godzilla Unit. Years later, The Golden Claw resurfaced and Woo would go on to take over the Claw’s organization, reforming it into the Atlas Foundation and a force for good. Actor Randell Park portrays Jimmy Woo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The agent’s first comic book appearance was in the pages of Yellow Claw #1 (1956).

A former captain in the United States Air Force, Clay Quartermain was recruited into the ranks of SHIELD during its battle against the forces of The Golden Claw. He continued on with the organization and embarked on numerous missions. His garrulousness and boastful nature rubbed some of his fellow agents the wrong way, but he proved himself highly capable and was put in charge of SHIELD’s Hulk-Busters unit. He was later apparently killed while investigating the mystery of the Red Hulk. Clay Quartermain first appeared in the pages of Strange Tales #163 (1967).

Agent Barbara ‘Bobbi’ Morse, also known as Agent 19, served as a field agent and scientist for SHIELD, sharing numerous adventures alongside Ka-Zar of the Savage Land. Fearing that her work with SHIELD could endanger her family, Morse faked her death and began operating as the costumed hero Mockingbird. Not long thereafter, she became a frequent ally of Hawkeye. The two fell in love and eventually married and together they formed the West Coast branch of The Avengers. Actress Adrianne Palicki portrayed Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird in the television series Marvel’s Agents of Shield; whereas actress Linda Cardellini has played Hawkeye’s wife and former SHIELD Agent 19 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The heroine first appeared in the pages of Astonishing Tales Vol. 1 #6 (1971).

Junior agent Roz Solomon served as a member of SHIELD in the organization’s environmental sciences division. A staunch environmentalist, Solomon investigated an illegal oceanic drilling practice conducted by the Roxxan Oil Corporation and ended up sharing an adventure with the Mighty Thor. Following the dissuasion of SHIELD, Solomon accepted an offer by King T’Challa to become a part of his Agents of Wakanda program. The intrepid young agent first appeared in the pages of Thor: God of Thunder #12 (2013).

Commodore Lance Hunter was born in Kent, England and served in the Royal Navy before becoming a top operative for MI-6. He was later put in charge of the organization, S.T.R.I.K.E. (or the Special Tactical Reserve for International Key Emergencies) which acted as a sister agency to SHIELD in the United Kingdom. Hunter would go on to have numerous adventures alongside Nick Fury, Captain Britain and Captain America. During his missions in conjunction with SHIELD, Hunter sparked up a romance with SHIELD agent, Bobbi Morse. The pair briefly rekindled their romance following Bobbi’s divorce from Clint Barton. Actor Nick Blood portrayed a version of Lance Hunter in the television series, Marvel’s Agents of Shield. The hero first appeared in the pages of Captain Britain #19 (1977).

Agent Monica Chang was the chief of SHIELD's Artificial Intelligence division. She was tasked with the interrogation of Hank Pym after the virus with which he destroyed Ultron evolved into the A.I. known as Dimitrios, and started mounting cyberattacks against secure military and intelligence targets.

What are some good older iron man comics. I would love to read them. I am not too fond of heavy abuse depictions so I prefer the lighter stuff. I read the civil war comics but I didn’t like it so much. As for Maria, I read few comics with her and she was a good mother to Tony. I wish we see more of her. Maybe after the I AM IRONMAN, other writers start to include her.

I didn't like Civil War (the main event) either. I thought the tie-ins and Iron Man's solo series are fairer to the character, but it was a terrible event for him overall.

Iron Man reading list:

⎊ Tales of Suspense (1959) #39 - Iron Man's origin story

You can read tales of suspense #40 - #99 if you can tolerate the sexism, racism etc. of that era. This series is the one that introduced Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan, and they're honestly a lot of fun sometimes, despite not always having the best quality of writing.

⎊ Iron Man vol 1:

This volume has 324 issues and it can get intimidating (I avoided reading it for years) so I'll try to list the best runs.

Gerry Conway (35–43, 91–97) He has a great voice for Tony and I love the characterization.

Bill Mantlo (78, 86–87, 95–115, Annual #4) - this is a very good run - a must read, in my opinion, and extremely underrated. Issue #78 tells us the story of why Tony stopped making weapons. Mantlo put in a lot of work to humanize Tony & his relationship with Whitney Frost (Madame Masque) is amazing.

David Michelinie (116–157) - he introduced Rhodey (issue #144 tells us the story of how he met Tony) and a bunch of great characters like Bethany Cabe, Mrs. Arbogast and Justin Hammer. He also established Tony's alcoholism in Demon in a Bottle and made him travel to the past & the future with Doctor Doom (#150 and #250). His run also has some light-hearted moments and you can start with this one - a lot of people do.

Dennis O'Neil (160–208) - he explored Tony's alcoholism in much more detail than Michelinie and his run gets very heavy at times (especially issue #182) (tw for suicidal ideation, depression and alcoholism) but Tony's recovery is depicted very well, too, and his portrayal of Tony, even at his worst, is very empathetic and respectful. Also, Rhodey becomes Iron Man in this run and O'Neil characterizes him very well. This is a very important Iron Man run.

David Michelinie (again) (215–250) - If you liked his writing, you can check this run out as well. It contains the Armor Wars storyline, which is a very important arc that contributed to Tony's character a lot (It's also the first time he clashed with Steve Rogers over differing ideals).

Len Kaminski (278–318) - This is the run in which Rhodey became War Machine (he even got a solo series by the same writer, which is very good). This is also the run which established Tony as a (verbal and emotional) childhood abuse survivor and the issues that depict it are issues #285 - #288 (Tony relives his childhood memories, which include memories of his father's abuse and I'm not sure how heavy it can be classified as, but it can be triggering to some people, certainly) and #313 (This one is more disturbing as it features Tony telling the story of how Howard made him drink alcohol as a very young child at an AA meeting - it's also immensely satisfying and it's a great issue, overall).

⎊ Tony is a major part of Avengers vol 1 and West Coast Avengers (1985) as well.

⎊ Marvel Graphic Novel - Emperor Doom

⎊ Marvel Super-Heroes (1990) - issues 2, 8 (Squirrel Girl's first appearance!), 9, 12-15 (issue #13 is especially good)

⎊ Marvel Fanfare #4

⎊ Iron Man vol 3 (1998)

Kurt Busiek (1-25, Annual 1999) - This is one of the best Iron Man runs ever. You could totally start with this one if you want to- Tony's characterization is amazing in this run, Happy and Pepper are part of the main cast again and they got some great development in it, Carol Danvers is featured heavily in it and this run has some of the best writing she's got and this run has some very good Black Widow moments as well. If you've heard of Rumiko Fujikawa, this is the run that introduced her.

Frank Tieri (31–35, 37–49, Annual 2001) - Tiberius Stone is a very fun character and this is the run in which he was introduced. It's very good.

Mike Grell (50-66) - This run shows us more of Tony's philanthropist side and I think it's essential reading for Iron Man fans. This is also the run in which he reveals his secret identity in order to save a dog.

⎊ Iron Man: Bad Blood is a great mini-series by David Michelinie that also features Rhodey (he isn't a huge part of Iron Man vol 3, unfortunately) and Justin Hammer.

⎊ Iron Man: Legacy of Doom is another great mini-series by David Michelinie and is the final story in the Camelot trilogy (featuring Doctor Doom).

⎊ Avengers vol 3, Avengers/Squadron Supreme '98 and Avengers/Thunderbolts #1–6 (2004)

⎊ Iron Man/Captain America (1998 Annual)

#feel free to ask me for modern im comic recs as well! they're not all bad #hope you like these- happy reading!#anonymous #iron man reading list #reading guide

Bucky Barnes Aka The Winter Soldier.

This reading guide is going to be split up in several parts depending on what alias he was using at the time

Timely Comics

Timely Comics was the original name a lot of Bucky's first comics were published under when most of the original comics came out. These have mostly been retconned out However they are canon in the way that they are comics in universe. I call this Pre-Timely Retcon

During this time Bucky was around 12-16 years old and he was going by "Bucky."

Please be aware that these comics have a lot of racist, sexist and overall derogatory approach to people who aren't cis white straight men.

Captain America Vol 1 (At least the first issue)

Young Allies Vol 1 (This comic contains heavy use of black face to represent an African American character)

The Invaders Vol 1

The Avengers #56

Marvels #1

Personally I don't think you absolutely have to read these, but I recommend the ones in bold .

Bucky

Post-Timely Retcon, the Timely comics are now comics in canon. What age Bucky is depends on what comic you read. He's between 12-16 when he meets Steve and 16-20 when he dies. It depends on the writer.

Captain America 65th Anniversary Special #1

Avengers/Invaders*

Young Allies Comics 70th Anniversary Special **

Wolverine Origins #17, 18, 19, 20,

Captain America: Man Out of Time

Captain America & Bucky #620-#628***

Captain America White

*This comic is very weird in its treatment of Jewish characters, they give Robots serial numbers on their wrist to get Jim Hammond upset and equate that to the treatment of Jewish people in the holocaust

** This comic contains heavy use of black face to represent an African American character

*** this comic shows depictions of a concentration camp

Winter Soldier

Captain America Vol 5

Winter Soldier : Winter Kills

Wolverine (2003) #38-#40

Wolverine Origins #15, 16, 23, 25

Winter Soldier: The Bitter March

-Read Captain America section here if you want to be chronological

Winter Soldier (2012)

All-New Invaders

Black Widow (2014)

Winter Soldier (2018)

Invaders (2019)

Captain America

Captain America Vol 5

Captain America: Forever Allies*

Avengers/Invaders

Invaders Now!

Fear Itself

* This comic contains heavy use of black face to represent an African American character

Hopefully this helps anyone looking into reading Bucky! I love him he's one of my favourites. Some of the comics may overlap being good reading for him as Bucky/Winter Soldier/Cap but I've tried to make it easy to get into!

Here are a list of other comics that I don't think are important but could help with further reading:

The Marvels Project - Good to lean about the Golden age heroes! Tales of Suspense (2017) - Personally I don't like this one but for WinterHawk shippers this is the main one!

The Unstoppable Wasp

Strikeforce - It's fun!

Devil's Reign: Winter Soldier - Not a personal fav, I don't like the new "He was always planned to be Winter soldier, even before his birth" but if you like it, this is a good place to start.

Young Avengers Presents - Important Bucky interacting with younger heroes

What is your favorite Doctor Doom panel?

...Is it even possible for me to choose just one?

This sat in my inbox for five days because narrowing down my favorite Doctor Doom panels is nigh impossible! But I thought about it and now I'm ready to answer. First, I tried to separate my favorite Doctor Doom moments from favorite panel (impossible). That way I could focus on the panel itself, for artistic merit, how much the writer and artist nailed Doom's character. How shiny Doom's thighs, and all that. So I have split my results by era of Doom: a silver age Kirby Doom panel will be beloved for different reasons then a current era Bianchi Doom, for example.

Silver Age Era Doctor Doom

The first time Doom and Reed Richards switch bodies, from Fantastic Four vol 1, #10.

If you know me at all, then you know that this trope in particular, I am a sucker for. This story basically sets a precedent, as the old body switcheroo is a thing that happens a lot with Doom. This panel in particular is right after Doom pulls his gambit, and as a confused Reed stands in the background beseeching Doom, the first thing Doom does as Reed is... disrobe. The look of absolute glee on "Reed's" face as he does this, priceless.

Speaking of Doom's body swap shenanigans, here's Doom triumphantly strutting down the street whilst in Matt Murdock's body, from Daredevil #37. I still wonder how it was explained away how Doom, with his genius level intellect, didn't figure out that Matt is blind, though? Like, really?

Doctor Doom steals the Silver Surfer's surfboard and cosmic power, from Fantastic Four #57.

You are probably familiar with this iconic page, which takes place moments after the deception occurs.

But the moments leading up to the deception, the build up just makes me want to lol like a sociopath. Doom pulls a rather obvious tactic that Norrin, bless his pure heart, falls for without a thought. Doom distracts his cosmic guest with a panoramic view of star-filled wonders. A homesick Norrin gazes in naive wonder, but what is this? Behind him is Doom, lurking, and donning what can only be described as a ceremonious fashion, an elaborate cosmic-energy-sucking gewgaw before he makes his move. THE SUSPENSE.

Doom will be your host now, from Fantastic Four #85, and #87

This time around, Doom has trafficked the Fantastic Four to Latveria, brainwashed them, and insists on serving them with much pomp and circumstance. This goes on for a couple of issues. It goes without saying that Doom is an excellent host.

In #85, we see just how extra Victor can be. His drip here is unrivaled!

The story continues, and in #87 it is time for the festivities! At Doom's insistence, you will be served:

So this post is already longer than originally intended and I have only touched upon "classic" or silver age Doctor Doom!

I leave you with this, because holy shit what is even going on?

The edibles just kicked in and you meet the face of god, only it happens to be Doom, from Strange Tales #147, with Steranko art.

This is his only appearance in the story, right at the very end. To be honest, this particular scan doesn't do the spread justice.

I mean, just look at that. Incredible. 👁👄👁

Right so, @imperiuswrecked there will be a Part 2 (of ???) focusing on bronze age Doom, stay tuned then!

hello i am hawkeye fan by which i mean "a fan of what hawkeye could be but seldom is" and i've read all of the fraction/aja run but haven't really read many other hawkeye comics!! what do you think are the best ones that showcase him? especially if there are others that have characterization in line with the fraction ones 👀

most ppl who love the fraction characterization end up loving Thompson and Rosenburg runs so I'm gonna start there and add some personal recommendations at the end

•Tales of Suspense #100-104 (Rosenburg, 2017) Clint and Bucky team up!! Very fun, weird but fun

•West Coast Avengers (Thompson, 2018) Clint leading the West Coast Avengers, another fun comic

•Hawkeye Freefall #1-6 (Rosenberg 2020) first Clint solo in years, extremely well received, much more serious and a good character study for current clint imo

•Black Widow #1-15 (Thompson, 2021) has Clint in it post-freefall up to like issue 10 I believe? Not my personal favorite but im not gonna get into that

Additional recs:

•Secret Avengers vol 1&2 (I haven't read this yet bc collecting it is a pain since multiple volumes with the same name but if you use marvel unlimited it's easier, but I've heard it's good, it has Deadpool and I've seen the screenshots and there is a huge Clint secret spy focus, but very heavy, set after fractions run)

•Hawkeye vs Deadpool (2014) my first and personal favorite Clint comic even if he's a grumpy boy the whole time

•Thunderbolts (2022) careful w this bc Clint has led two thunderbolts teams at this point but since it's recent it should be easier to find. Better follow up to freefall than Black Widow was, but it's a team centric comic more than a Clint centric comic but nice to know how the guy is doing after freefall tbh

Anyways I'm gonna stop there bc there are very many Clint comics but these are the ones that fraction fans tend to generally like from what I've seen?? Honestly you don't have to read all of them, just picking one and jumping in is probably fine, most writers lately don't need a lot of context to get the general gist of what's going on

Hope you enjoy!!!

#jesperr-fahey #taters tots #wow this is so long im so sorry i promise i tried to keep it short 😭#my actual favorites are like pre fraction comics but those have so much required reading and are so hard to get into #I'm not gonna put that on you lmao #Hawkeye

Tales of Suspense (vol. 1) #15 (March, 1961). Cover by Jack Kirby, Dick Ayers and Stan Goldberg.

If Marvel Studios isn’t going to give us a movie featuring all their classic monsters, then they should do the next best thing: a series of stand-alone specials, like they did with Werewolf By Night.

Each special should be an hour-long stand-alone show adapting the original comic book stories the monsters appeared in. I’d give Marvel extra credit if the shows were live-action instead of animated, and extra-extra credit if the shows were period pieces (late 1950s/early 1960s) instead of being set in the modern day.

However, Disney is wholesale slashing costs and jobs, and there’s a looming writers’ strike (which shows signs of being as long and brutal as the one back in 1988), so - even if Kevin Feige and company were interested - this has zero chance of happening.

What’s Out This Week? 1/18

WEEK 3 OF 2023 LET’S GOOOOO

Barbarities GN Vol 1 - Tsuta Suzuki

In this beautiful Boys' Love/BL romance inspired by Renaissance Europe, a dashing viscount tries to woo a serious nobleman! Lord Montague is a powerful figure in the nation, in need of a bodyguard following a threat to his life. Enter Viscount Adam Canning: a dashing blond-haired nobleman who swears to use his combat skills to protect Lord Montague...and woo anyone who catches his fancy while staying at Lord Montague's estate. When Adam sees Lord Montague's nephew, Joel, Adam is immediately smitten. But Joel is a serious young man, too busy rooting out crime and corruption to fall for Adam's charms.

Children Of Palomar & Other Tales TP - Gilbert Hernandez

This comics omnibus includes the graphic novels Julio's Day and The Children of Palomar, as well as never-before-collected work by brothers Mario and Gilbert Hernandez, some of which has never been available since its early 2000s run in comic book single issues.

Children of Palomar and Other Tales(the fifteenth volume in our Complete Love and Rockets Library omnibuses and the eighth Gilbert volume) begins with "Me for the Unknown," uncollected since its original 2001-2004 run in Love and Rockets Vol. II comic books. Written by Mario Hernandez and drawn by Gilbert Hernandez, it traces the Rabelaisian journey of Tagg Lillard. A U.S. citizen with a seemingly perfect life working in Latin America, he escapes a death trap clutching important papers, and an imperious CEO and his manservant pursue him through a land plagued by colonialist/corporate greed. Also collected: one of their joints from 2008, "Chiro el Indio." In The Children of Palomar suite of short stories (2006-2007; collected in 2013), there are many mysterious visitors, an apparition that haunts childless women, and readers learn how Chelo lost her eye. And in Julio's Day, which originally ran from 2001-2008 and was collected in 2013, a man's life-threaded with war, loss, illness, and forbidden love-spans a century.

The Chuckling Whatsit HC - Richard Sala

The 1997 magnum opus of the late Richard Sala, master of graphic noir, has been out of print for years and is now available in hardcover for the very first time.

Sala weaves the gothic cartooning traditions of Edward Gorey and Charles Addams with a melodramatic murder mystery involving astrology, ghouls, academia, and outsider art. Part noir, part horror, and part comedy, this labyrinthine tale of intrigue follows an unemployed writer named Broom who becomes ensnared unwittingly in a complex plot involving mysterious outsider artist Emile Jarnac, the shadowy machinations of the Ghoul Appreciation Society Headquarters (GASH), and the enigmatic Mr. Ixnay. Sala's deadpan delivery makes this ingeniously layered narrative a roller-coaster ride of darkly pure comic suspense. Sala's drawing style also reveals the influence of everything from Hollywood monster movies and Dick Tracy to German expressionism and Grimm's fairy tales. It's a style that's perfectly suited to the narrative, constantly flirting with Sala's fascination for the grotesque and lending palpable tension to the gruesome riddle of The Chuckling Whatsit.

Dune: House Harkonnen #1 (of 12) - Brian Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson, Michael Shelfer & Raymond Swanland

Is Love The Answer? GN - Uta Isaki

A poignant coming-of-age story about a young woman coming into her own as she discovers her identity as aromantic asexual. When it comes to love, high schooler Chika wonders if she might be an alien. She's never fallen for or even had a crush on anyone, and she has no desire for physical intimacy. Her friends tell her that she just "hasn't met the one yet," but Chika has doubts... It's only when Chika enters college and meets peers like herself that she realizes there's a word for what she feels inside-asexual-and she's not the only one.

To Boldly Go: How Nichelle Nichols & Star Trek Helped Advance Civil Rights GN - Angela Dalton & Lauren Semmer

As Lieutenant Uhura on the iconic prime-time television show Star Trek, Nichelle Nichols played the first Black female astronaut anyone had ever seen on-screen. A smart, strong, independent Black woman aboard the starship Enterprise was revolutionary in the 1960s when only white men had traveled to outer space in real life and most Black characters on TV were servants. Nichelle not only inspired a generation to pursue their dreams but also opened the door for the real-life pioneering astronauts Sally Ride, Dr. Mae Jemison, and more. This empowering tribute to the trailblazing pop-culture icon reminds us of the importance of perseverance and the power of representation in storytelling. You just might be inspired to boldly go where no one like you has ever gone before!

For Electronic Investigator Echika Hieda, diving into peoples' memories via the Your Forma and hunting for evidence is all part of a day's work. The problem is, she's so adept at what she does that her assistants literally fry their brains trying to keep up with her. After putting one too many aides in the hospital, the top brass finally furnish Echika with a partner on her level, a brilliant yet cheeky android named Harold Lucraft. But can Echika put her prejudices against robots aside to solve the most complex case of her career?

Whatcha snagging this week, Fantom Fam?
