My #4faveMarvel, which doesn’t seem like it was even a thing people were actually doing. On twitter I mentioned that my Marvel picks feel more in the moment, because two of them are very recent incarnations of characters. My favorite Marvels shift more often. Thing and Beast are mainstays forever but the rest tend to move around. Loving Squirrel Girl and Captain America right now, so that’s where I went. If the list went longer it’d probably be a bunch of X-Men, Luke Cage, and Lockjaw.

This pic makes me want to see more Thing and Beast team ups. I feel this needs to be something we get more of. Ben Grimm’s Yancy St-isms and Hank McCoy’s dry academic wit would play well together. I could almost see them having a Ham and Monk relationship in many ways.
