Publisher profile coming soon
Comics grow darker and more socially aware. Wolverine, Punisher, Swamp Thing debut. Creator-driven storytelling emerges.
Newsstand variants carry meaningful scarcity premiums. First appearances from this era are blue-chip investments.
Len Wein
In illiquid alternative asset markets, sovereign blue-chip holdings trade at an exponential multiple over mid-grade float due to institutional accumulation and inelastic seller reservation prices.
Dissatisfied with his friends' inability to help him learn about his true identity, the Monster wanders off into the mountains, soon pursued by the Berserker robot, repaired by I.C.O.N.'s mole in the chalet. The two monsters fight until Frankenstein's manages to tear off Berserker's arm and asks why his opponent doesn't seem to feel any pain. The question leads Berserker to question its own identity, accessing some suppressed piece of humanity that was part of its design. The two stop fighting and walk off as allies.

The Frankenstein Monster stalks off into the Alps to try to find out who he is. Berserker is fixed and pursues the monster into the Alps. After battling the monster, Berserker decides to join the monster on his quest.

The Thing and Alicia are flying to England to deliver Deathlok to Dr. Kort when they have to make a pit-stop and help Namor take on a school of Piranha.
Two missiles are shot at the Inhumans. The second one is destroyed just before it hits and the wreckage points to the Fantastic Four as the ones firing it. The Inhumans go to confront them but before things can go to far Triton finds out that Maximus was behind the attacks.
Dr. Kort succeeds in freeing Deathlok from Mentallo's control and Fury shows up to take the cyborg to SHIELD. Nighthawk's company uncovers a mysterious rock and contacts Kort as it appears there is something trapped inside of it. An alien is freed from the rock and, even though he looks like a monster and is hounded, he winds up helping Thing and Nighhawk save children from a burning building.
