1966 expanded out the Marvel Universe in a ton of interesting ways, but that upward trajectory seems to level out here in 1967. We get some bright spots like Dr. Doom stealing the Silver Surfer's c...

1966 was a landmark year, and a well-needed high point for the reading club. Things are going to level out for a while, before climbing in quality again, so strap in! (Pro tip: I know Avengers Annu...

Everything about 1965 screams "world-building" to me, in a way that feels novel compared with what came before. Spidey's (arguably) arch-nemesis finally gets some teeth in a two issue arc. Professo...
