So, I ordered a 50-issue grab-bag of old Marvel stuff a few weeks ago, and when it finally arrived, it was absolutely packed with "classic" 90's Marvel.
Betty Brant with an assault rifle, people. But the craziest thing in the box came from 1987: West Coast Avengers Annual #2, where...well, read the title. If that's not worth some kind of rant, I don't know what is. But I'll get to that later. First, I want to post the greatest panel in the book, or indeed in anything I've read lately.

That is
Thor using Mjolnir to hit a game-tying grand slam in the bottom of the ninth inning. Also, the ball is
on fire. That's just awesome.
Anyway. On with the post. The West Coast Avengers aren't history's most popular super-team, so it didn't take long to check all the posts with their tag. Doesn't look like I'm duplicating anything, at least from the post-LJ era, and I've taken material from fewer than 14 pages out of 42 in the book.
