Marvel by the Month

#038: November 1964 - "The Avengers Break Up"

Episode Summary

It's Robb and Bryan's birthday, but you get the present of this fancy new episode! Doctor Strange faces the Dread Dormammu for the first time (but definitely not the last)! Unus the Untouchable does not get touched by the X-Men! And Immortus... shows up and does some stuff, all of which is undone by the end of the issue! Plus, Spider-Man goes a whole issue without punching anyone, the Fantastic Four solve the mystery of the Invincible Man, and much, much more!
