[Daredevil #266, May 1989] Is this some dream sequence, or is this story going to be about an actual Devil?? It’s hard to tell what Daredevil is going to be these days. [#cmro M7576]

Peter has spent the entire issue agonizing about moving back in with Aunt May—he’s always agonizing over something—but he finally comes to terms with moving back home. And it is Christmas Eve, after all. #marvel #spiderman

I like when superheroes (and people, for that matter) treat every dime-store Santa Claus as the real Santa! It just adds a little magic to the world. #marvel #spiderman

I have issues with some of the other artwork in this issue, but McFarlane really is great at the iconic Spider-Man poses! #marvel #spiderman

Flash Thompson really is my favorite Spider-Man supporting character. He doesn’t even have his own place—he’s been staying in a back room at the gym—but he offers it to Peter and Mary Jane without a thought. He’s just a great guy. #marvel #spiderman

The flimsy premise of this issue is that Peter and Mary Jane are evicted when the building’s owner declares their condo purchase as invalid. It seems like any lawyer—hell, any PERSON—would know that you can’t evict someone with no notice! #marvel #spiderman

[Amazing Spider-Man #314, Apr. 1989] I like how Spider-Man is being advertised as “The Non-Mutant Super Hero!” I guess when mutants are incredibly popular, this comic can stand out by being the exception! [#cmro M7575]

A lot of dream sequences are symbolic and explain something about the character. I’m not sure this story means anything or provides any information about Kitty Pryde. #marvel #xmen

This story (such as it is) is about Kitty Pryde trying to understand her mutant power. I’m not sure I can describe the story beyond that. #marvel #xmen

[Classic X-Men #35, Jul. 1989] As always, don’t let the cover image fool you: We’re revisiting the Dark Phoenix era, but this is a new backup story fleshing out the story of Kitty Pryde. [#cmro M7573]

It’s a red scare on the pages of Captain America! This week’s logo covers the defection of the Soviet Super-Soldiers, followed by the Supreme Soviets including Crimson Dynamo and the first appearance of Perun, Fantasia, Sputnik, and the (latest) Red Guardian! #marvel #cmro #mda

The Supreme Soviets survive their encounter, but it was enough to revive the Soviet Super-Soldiers! The whole ending of “We had this strange dream…” seems needlessly vague, but it’s a fun story and at least the characters survived! I was really fooled! #marvel #captainamerica

Let’s jump to the resolution of this mystery: The beast is created from the life-energy of the Soviet Super-Soldiers, some sort of combination of their various powers, and they’re draining the Supreme Soviets to save their own lives! #marvel #captainamerica

Red Guardian is lost within the creature’s body, and now the other members of the Supreme Soviets are joining the fray! But no matter what they do, no one seems able to penetrate the mysterious being’s hide…! #marvel #captainamerica

This giant shadow beast is attacking Russia and heading towards the Kremlin. But when the red Guardian tries to save a small child, he gets sucked into the creature’s skin and absorbed! #marvel #captainamerica

This Red Guardian is still a villain—he helped kill the Soviet Super-Soldiers, after all—but he doesn’t seem to have a personal grudge against Captain America. I guess there are a half-dozen Red Guardians and I shouldn’t be surprised if they’re different. #marvel #captainamerica

I was excited about Captain America meeting Red Guardian for the first time, until Cap pointed out that this isn’t the first person to claim that identity. He thinks that this is the third Red Guardian, but he’s actually the fourth! #marvel #captainamerica

Captain America looks great as a black and white silhouette with the star and stripes highlighted! They should use that imagery more often. It’s very Dark Knight Returns. #marvel #captainamerica

Captain America has traveled to the U.S.S.R. as an ambassador of goodwill on behalf of the Avengers…but really he’s on a fact-finding mission to discover if Russian agents killed the Soviet Super-Soldiers! #marvel #captainamerica

Vanguard and Darkstar have gone into cardiac arrest and died, and Ursa Major is just moments from expiring as well. I’m sure they’ll eventually find an excuse to bring these characters back…but for the moment, they’re dead dead dead. #marvel #captainamerica

[Captain America #353, May 1989] For a Soviet supervillain, Red Guardian seems awfully concerned about American trademarks! [#cmro M7572]

With the Soviet Super Soldiers unconscious, the “Avengers” finally reveal themselves: It’s a new team called the Supreme Soviets, featuring the Crimson Dynamo, and new characters Sputnik, Perun, Fantasia, and the first appearance of the Red Guardian! #marvel #captainamerica

“I don’t recall the Vision possessing these powers! Wait! I know--” These faux Avengers are tipping their hand, exhibiting abilities the real Avengers absolutely do not have. But as the Soviet Super Soldiers start to figure it out, it’s already too late.… #marvel #captainamerica
