👊 Remember Iron Fist? No, really. Think about it. Do you actually remember it?
👀 Uatu The Watcher is watching us from a distance
🎷 Since Marvel's acquisition of the Ultraverse line of comics, "Nightman" is technically a Marvel show.
👛 What's in the pouches? Only Rob Liefeld knows for sure.
🐺 The 90s "Capwolf" storyline is good, actually
🛣 We managed to work in two references to The Crossing, maybe the most reviled Avengers storyline of the past 30 years...
🍼 ...and one reference to the very icky Avengers #200, which is the most revolved Avengers storyline of the 30 years before that.
🌎 The "Ego the Loving Planet" story, in which Ego is a pick-up artist trying to get with Earth, only to be put off when he sees that she's just covered in yucky people, is wonderfully silly.
🧠 Remember: standing offer from Darren to learn math. Thanks Darren?
🐦 Follow Ben on Twitter and be judged worthy of a follow
📷 Ben is also on Instagram where he posts pictures of him judging things
🐦 You can read Tim complaining about Renner's Hawkeye on Twitter
