Originally published: May 1980
The Frightful Four, with Spider-Man held captive, attack the Fantastic Four.

This story sucked kinda. It was about one of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Vance Astro, trying to convince his younger self to not take the same path he did. While I generally like time-travel stuff, this was just boring. The Thing’s [...]
