Fantastic Four: Season One

[1.1] Good art, no story. You heard me, I didn’t say “bad story,” I said “No Story.”
Characters: Wolverine -
Marvel Comics Presents #72-84
[7.8] A stunningly-written tragedy and the first appearance of Weapon X. I see why they kept making Weapon X stories.
Characters: Wolverine -
Logan: Shadow Society
[0.6] This is one of those where I don’t really have a blurb. This comic is boring.
-
Strange Tales #110-122
[4.0] Early Doc Strange and early Danny Phantom have more in common than you probably think.

Daredevil: Battlin’ Jack Murdock

Characters: Daredevil -

Captain America and Namor #635.1
[2.1] How irrelevant is too irrelevant to be included in the reading order? Today we’re gonna learn the limits.
-
Captain America and Bucky #620-624
[5.4] Robin has had it too good for too long. Give another boy-wonder a shot at the title.
