Our second season opens with the one-two punch of X-Men #1 and Avengers #1, and the Marvel Universe will never be the same! Plus, the Skrulls return in the super-est way possible, The Sandman rubs Spidey the wrong way, Nick Fury meets the 1940's version of a 1960's hero, "Tales of Asgard" debuts, and Ant-Man suffers the tragic loss of an ant. Hey, they can't all be winners!
Note: We started out by titling these episodes with the cover date (the date that's printed on the cover), but we switched to their newsstand dates (the dates they went on sale) around episode #50. The newsstand date for this episode is June/July 1963.
