Howard's character and helped launch a sword and sorcery trend in comics.

Thanks to Marvel Unlimited, I was finally able to read it.The Avengers roster at this time, for those keeping sco...
Well, I had a hard time getting into the first story, but the second one won me over, even with all the WTF moments. I mean, the story didn't make sense, and left me chuckling at the ridiculousness more often than not - but I now officially ship Vision/Jocasta. (At least this version.) Yup, Vi...
