I remember my first ish was the battle with the Awesome Android. It was a really quality run, although the subject matter was often grim and Buscema and Palmer's dark artwork added to that atmosphere. I'm not sure I'd agree Shulkie spent the run being embarrassed though. She got her win back against Dionysus and there's no shame in losing to Zeus or Tyrak - Zeus has beaten up Thor and just recently nearly pounded the Hulk to death without breathing hard. Tyrak has given Namor fits and provided a real challenge to a tough Avengers team which included Vision and Wonder Man ... Jen still scored the knockout blow over him even with CM's help. And you forgot to mention that, unbelievably, Jen beat Thor up TWICE in this run, although admittedly Thor was either taken by surprise or under Ravonna's control. Simonson must really have gone off Thor once he stepped off the big guy's title to write that. Still, that was Jen's biggest scalp to that date and in all honesty, I wouldn't fancy her chances against the Thunder God now.Conrad Knight Sockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047473790475457299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-12305145235532104572013-11-10T23:22:22.083-05:002013-11-10T23:22:22.083-05:00"The genuine affection I felt for this line u..."The genuine affection I felt for this line up.
