Hercules introduces the team

Yragael talks about how Zemo is given a lot of expression without us seeing his face

Yragael uses page 17 as a key example

The art conveys character as much as the dialogue

Uh-Oh!

I will recap previous issues in my thought balloons

Yragael was impressed with the characterisation on Marrina's face

Another much discussed page

The key page of the issue

Do the British armed police wear that uniform?

Is Damien going to get very irritated by that kind of mistake?

Inked by Kyle Baker

Questionable history from Ms Mercado there.

Page inked by Bob McLeod

This manages to be a page that can't happen in the 80s (pre-decimalisation) but could only happen in the 80s (fashion). Interesting!

Maybe he'll spend the money on his subscription to the Dick Van Dyke Appreciation Society.

Big Yellow Taxi!

Joni Mitchell sometimes lies!

What a gut punch of an ending.

The story is already in progress when the book starts

Written by Louise Simonson

Art by Walter Simonson and Bob Wiacek

Coloured by Petra Scotese

Lettered by Joe Rosen

Petra Scotese effectively uses colour to simplify a complicated image

Can you spot 5 Marauders?

I love how Simonson shows the relative positions of the two groups in the first 2 panels of this page.

Skids can spot a supervillain even if no-one else can.

Leech, Artie (with Teddy Bear) and Caliban might be my favourite characters in this issue.

I just love Artie and Leech.

I have to keep sharing these pages.

Did someone mention Soap Opera?

Can I change my mind?

Artie's teddy bear is my favourite character in this issue.

A very downbeat ending.

A comparison between the new and old X-Factor logos.

Our new cat Mr Bumble joins us on the podcast.

I think he might be our breakout star.
