Time for some tacky nostalgia with these decidedly un-special 2018 Marvel specials that take characters back into their past for some pointless stories!
What was Miles Morales doing during Secret Invasion? Punching Skrulls. Need to be reminded of Bendis/Maleev’s Daredevil? Here’s a story from that era where Daredevil and Misty Knight fight some gangsters messing around with Mutant Growth Hormone! And who doesn’t want to read Silver Surfer as Galactus’ Herald getting all angsty and teary-eyed over picking another planet to get eaten for the umpteenth time!!1 Zzz…
Nick Fury and the Howling Commandos encounter Krakoa the living island for some mild body horror and Venom gets up to some unsavoury shenanigans during his first encounter with Spidey. Whatevs… The stories are just so rote, uninspired and uninteresting that they’re instantly forgettable.
Teen Kitty Pryde at summer camp was a decent story about tolerance and the cruelty of kids and I didn’t mind the Cap and Bucky WW2 story, where they save some concentration camp survivors deep in Nazi territory, mostly because I like Chris Sprouse’s art.
It ain’t much though and, for quite a comparatively chunky book, Marvel Universe: Time and Again really isn’t worth the time.
