The Avengers (2012) – Many many decades ago, Timely Comics decided to take its two most popular comic characters, the Human Torch (the original 1930s robot one, not the Fantastic Four’s Johnny Storm) and Namor the Sub-Mariner, and have them fight each other. Timely (eventually renamed Marvel Comics) really ran with this idea and soon … Continue reading →
