    Rob Liefeld's Captain America: the book so bad that it's been accused of killing Mark Gruenwald.
    Seriously, word is that previous longtime Captain America writer Mark Gruenwald (a healthy man with no known issues who loved the character enough to write Steve Rogers for ten years) took home his complimentary copy after work and *coincidentally* died overnight.

    Theme for the 100th episode of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly should be "Return of the Bad" where you determine "Best of the Worst", "Worst of the Worst", and "Ugliest of Worst" so what do you think? I can take a guess as to what all your responses will be; Ben=😣, Ethan=😒, Sal=🤔, Tiffany=😶

    Ok, here's your Doom-who-is-dagger pitch: Victoria Von Doom, college friend of Reed Richards, convinces him to use his experimental portal to go to hell and rescue her mom. They fail, and the exposure to the infernal rays turns them into Dagger and Cloak, respectively.
    They also mess up her face but not the rest of her body, that's why the power armour has the ridiculous giant cross boob window.
    I guess she's a hero now? Definitely the eviler one of the pair, but they do remain friends and go do heroing together.

    Super Patriot was cool, they don't know anything about the character, he was a Superman type character in the 60's who was attacked by a gang of super powered individuals when he was a senior citizen.
    Half of his face was bitten off and his limbs were also.
    His body was acquired by the government after he was built by enemy forces and they reprogramed him.
    The reason he sees Savage Dragon in the simulations is because he got trashed by him when he was under enemy control.
    It's as solid idea as any other!

    I will always have a special place in my heart for Erik Larsen because of his Spider-Man run that I read when I was 7 or 8. My uncle had some back issues of that run and gave them to me as a gift so that was one of my first Spidey runs, along with Peter David’s excellent all-ages “Marvel Adventures Spider-Man” series.

    1. Glad this series is back. I've come to love it as much or more than back issues because you get to work in more comments on industry stuff and quality stories aren't always a feature. 2. The Salem witches were hanged. Not burned. This is a common but completely wrong belief. No burnings if witches occurred on the continent of North America.
