I guess I dont understand why the assumption is that it's gambit. There are s lot of characters on that cover.

Honestly, I don't know anything about this event or storyline. I'm just basing it on what others here have said. Hopefully it isn't Remy, and they actually do something that makes some sense.

I find it odd that the writers at Marvel keep doing stories every couple of months where a new Sorcerer Supreme is chosen. It last for a few months then reverts back to Strange. I get the need to shake up the status quo sometimes, but I feel the whole "New Sorcerer Supreme" thing is overdone to the point of ridiculousness now. Strange has lost and regained the mantle more times than Jean Grey has died and returned at this point.

From October 1970, Tower of Shadows #9.

Another Bernie Wrightson masterpiece. This issue adapts the H.P. Lovecraft short story "Pickman's Model" which was originally published in the October 1927 issue of Weird Tales. If you'd like to see a live action version, it was also adapted for the screen in Guillermo Del Toro's "Cabinet of Curiosities".

So this January Marvel's going to release Avengers #800. That is an amazing milestone. I've been assembling with this group for a long, long time. It was early in 1965 that my six year old self first discovered this team. The first issue I clearly remember seeing was number 18 ("When the Commissar Commands!") and I've been a regular reader ever since, through all the highs and lows. Thankfully there's been many, many more highs than lows. (We won't talk about Heroes Reborn and Rob Liefeld. Oh no. We shan't talk about that at all)

From Stan Lee and Jack Kirby to Jed MacKay and Javier Pina, it's been an incredible run. Thank you Marvel for 62 years of Earth's Mightiest Heroes!

Avengers 300 was one of my first comics. I read it after Cap 350 so even at 11ish years old I could tell that was out of order, but I loved it so much it didn't phase me.

Also, I liked Heroes Reborn Avengers. I was the right age and I still think some of those costumes slap or whatever kids say.

Also, also, I want that Avengers 800 cover as a puzzle.

I was obsessed with the cover of #200 as a kid. I found a copy at a flea market and read it so many times. Eventually I started tracing the cover and then moved on to drawing it. Except for that stupid Toys R Us shopping spree and at the top.
