The Trapster never should have changed his name from Paste Pot Pete. "Now they'll have to take me seriously!" Yeah, nah.

Mister Miracle #2.Still not sure what's going on, but still impressed as hell with how it's being done. Yeah, looks like it could be all inside Scott Free's mind or possibly a result of Darkseid's manipulation if he really has the Anti-Life equation. But the overall impression is that it doesn't take place in the usual "reality" of the characters. Yep. There's definitely something hinky going on.

If someone doesn't like Jaime Hernandez stuff ... ...then they're already dead, they just don't know it yet.

As someone who has actually read post-Ditko Dr. Strange with my own eyes, I will have to respectfully disagree with any general characterization that it was "shite" or "pedestrian." I am reading them with my own eyes (I certainly wouldn't want to abuse anyone else's HEYOOOO!!). Or trying to, anyway. If you like 'em, that's cool.

I'm glad you enjoyed them. I think we're going to have to agree to disagree.

The First Steranko S.H.I.E.L.D. story! Although Jaunty Jim is still doing his best Kirby imitation, it's still good stuff. Nick Fury has been captured by Hydra, and he seems determined to cut off all their heads, just to see how many take their place. He manages to steal one of their planes, but little does he know that it's been fitted with the Overkill Horn which, once the plane reaches maximum speed, will 'splode all the world's nukes, thus allowing Hydra to take over what's left of the world, I guess. There's also a Doctor Strange story. Boy, that sure turned into unreadable shite after Ditko left, didn't it?

Just as Tony Stark is about to reveal that fact that he is Iron Man, he suffers a possible heart attack! Luckily the doctors were able to plug in his totally not Iron Man-related chest plate, and he was just fine. He realizes this is a sign that the world is not yet ready to know that Tony Stark and Iron Man are one and the same! Just for good measure, he gets Happy to do a few laps of the city in the Iron Man armour, to throw off any suspicion. I'm glad they bypassed all that nonsense in the movie. The old, "How do I keep the world and my loved ones from discovering my secret?" routine gets old pretty quickly, especially in these early Iron Man stories. Then Captain America goes up against the Adaptoid, which has now copied the powers and abilities of all the Avengers to become the Super Adaptoid! Even though he's clearly overpowered, Cap puts up a good fight, because he's the Goddamn Captain America, until the Super-A finally has enough and chucks Cap in the river, then decides he's had enough of being in the Hydra band and wants to leave to work on his solo project. The last panels show us Cap making his way to the surface, showing us that he's down, but he ain't out.
