This week’s logo covers the beginning of the Atlantis Attacks crossover storyline, as Ghaur begins to reassemble the Serpent Crown, Llyra frees Tyrannus from the Abomination’s body, and an Atlantean assault force tries (and fails) to invade the surface world! #marvel #cmro #mda

[Amazing Spider-Man Annual #23, Sep. 1989] I’m not sure I want to see “Aunt May in action!”, but I do like this John Byrne cover with She-Hulk and Abomination! [#cmro M7821]

[X-Men Annual #13, Aug. 1989] “Mr. Jip” is a terrible name for a villain. Also, the Atlantis Attacks storyline continues…sort of. [#cmro M7820]

[Iron Man #246, Sep. 1989] This Iron Man story takes a left turn from the Atlantis Attacks storyline, so I’m going to keep it brief. [#cmro M7819]

[Iron Man Annual #10, Aug. 1989] Iron Man teams up with Namor to stop the Atlanteans or maybe it’s Hydra or maybe it’s Maggia! [#cmro M7816]

The theme of this week’s logo is “monsters and demons”! We have the first appearance on Blackheart; the return of Ghaur, the Deviant; Master Pandemonium (with a cameo by William and Thomas); and Mephisto, looking more than a little like Count Chocula! #marvel #cmro #mda

[Avengers West Coast #52, Dec. 1989] Somehow little William and Thomas look even cooler on this cover, although I doubt they look like that in the actual story. They look like creepy kids from an ’80s horror movie! [#cmro M7815]

[Avengers West Coast #51, Nov. 1989] Iron Man pays a visit to the West Coast Avengers. Because that always calms everything right down. [#cmro M7814]

[Avengers West Coast #50, Nov. 1989] I don’t understand half of what happens in this issue, so this is not going to be a fun read! [#cmro M7813]

[Silver Surfer Annual #2, Aug. 1989] I’ll be honest: I’m not sure I have the energy for another massive 14-part storyline. I guess we can start on Atlantis Attacks and see how well I do…! [#cmro M7812]
