Marvel's Decades Goes Totally 80s in April

Ah, the 1980s. A great decade for comics? Or the greatest decade? U-Decide!

Either way, in April, Marvel's 80th-anniversary Decades celebration reaches the 80s, featuring some of the best comics stories every told by Chris Claremont, Chris Claremont, Chris Claremont, and a bunch of others too. See James Rhodes don the Iron Man armor in Iron Man #170, Mariko dump Wolverine on their wedding day in Uncanny X-Men #173, She-Hulk join the Fantastic Four in Fantastic Four #265, Spider-Man marry Mary Jane in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21 and don the black suit on Earth after Secret Wars in Amazing Spider-Man #252, the Hulk turn grey again in Incredible Hulk #324, Loki act like a hero in Thor #378 (an X-Factor crossover), John Walker become Captain America in Captain America #333, and Warren Worthington become Archangel in X-Factor #24.

Okay, so maybe we just spoiled it all for you. But still, lots of great stories in a nice hardcover collection.

And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
