And that's it for tonight. As for tomorrow, I'll leave it up to the thread.

Our next appearance is in the 90's "Secret Defenders" series, a 25 issue Defenders series with a rotating cast, which has Luke and Danny in it. Should we do the entire series, or just the parts with Luke or Danny? I'll leave it up to a vote. If nobody votes (or if it's a tie) I'll decide myself.

See you Anons then.
