Day 23-Angel’s non X-team
One option would be Archangel in a bloody hit squad like ‘10s Thunderbolts or Savage Avengers. BUT imagine Warren infiltrating the “rich villain Illuminati” team from Aaron’s Thor run that has been sitting there criminally underused!
Tons of first appearances including Blind Al and T-Ray! Plus Weasel shows up for the first time in a couple years
And we’re off! Literally from the opening panel, the 4th-wall-breaking wise cracking is strongly evident
A beautiful, epic depiction of ‘60s Magneto doing what he did better than anyone: BROOD MAJESTICALLY
Narrator: Magneto was not, in fact, gone forever after this 1965 appearance
@xreadspodcast Always loved the AOV tie in with Hobgoblin! Plus, well, as a concept at least, the Illuminati is one of my favorite Marvel ideas ever, and Strange was always right in his element among the heavyweights
It’s come up before, but Paige/Jono was as melodramatic as it got in the 90s
After having already been around for 15 years, it’s remarkable how much of Emma’s history had to be filled in via retcon and flashbacks starting in the mid 90s
