Back into the Kree/Skrull War tonight, for Avengers 93-96 (1971). Shepherded by Roy Thomas, Neal Adams, and Tom Palmer (with minor assists from John Buscema and Alan Weiss), the story really picked up steam. Truly an epic, and looking forward to its conclusion, and then the three Barry Smith issues.

“Retired couple day trip” to the Museum of Science and Industry, commencing shortly. My wife enjoy’s the annual “Christmas Trees Around the World” exhibit, and they of course have other cool things.
I enjoy the Stan’s Donuts, so it’s quite possible tomorrow’s breakfast will be purchased. 😉

What’s not very nice, however, is the flippin’ PRICE TAG the second-hand vendor affixed to the back. 😡
