The X-Men team profile from the original Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. Compiled by Mark Gruenwald and Peter Sanderson with new artwork by Uncanny X-Men artist Paul Smith and the tech-y schematics by Eliot R. Brown.
There's a few mix-ups. Marvel Girl, Angel, Wolverine and Storm should be depicted in the costumes they were wearing when they joined the team and Kitty Pryde should also have a second listing under the alias Sprite. Arguably Multiple Man (who was working as Moira MacTaggert's assistant) could be included alongside the allies.

GH: CAPTAIN AMERICA #281
The last regular issue of CAPTAIN AMERICA that I bought was #281, almost a hundred issues on from when I’d first sampled the book. The series was on a bit of an upswing at this point, having just concluded a multi-part adventure that established the contemporary Baron Zemo (who had previously appeared as the one-off villain, the Phoenix.) So like AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, it was in the midst of a…

I remember having strongly mixed feelings about a Loki series, simply because Marvel had done such a shit job of continuity and pumped out so many high-budget-low-quality movies that I had all but stopped watching them.
However, as I started watching Loki and learned about the TVA, I was like "Oh yeah, you're sick of the continuity errors too, that's why the TVA exists, to create a framework where all of the mismatched pieces can be explained by time variances!"
And then I find out that that is EXACTLY why the TVA exists. A Marvel writer by the name of Mark Gruenwald, who was considered the "continuity expert" for Marvel, was tired of writers taking stories and running with them, with little care for continuity for the characters and their arcs and major events. He even suggested creating a continuity handbook for writers and editors to help "maintain the timelines".
Mobius M. Mobius was created in Gruenwald's image and is based off of his frustrations with Marvel story continuity errors.
The TVA and Mobius were literally created to clean up the timeline for print comics, and now they are back to clean up the timeline for the films.
I love that.

You mentioned that Mark Gruenwald is one of the best Captain America writers. I was wandering, why so? What are the best cap stories written by him?
Mark Gruenwald wrote Captain America for ten years, which meant that, in addition to bringing me into the fandom, he was responsible for creating much of Steve Rogers' world: Crossbones (one of Cap's most enduring villains), the Serpent Society (a personal fave), Diamondback (Steve's very own Catwoman), Capwolf, Flag-Smasher (truly one of the most ideologically incoherent comics characters ever), U.S Agent (as an explicit critique of Reagan-era jingoism) - the list goes on and on.

(He did have something of a tin ear on race, tho.)

BHOC: THOR #281
This particular issue of THOR was another comic book that my household wound up with two copies of. As he would do from time to time, by younger brother Ken purchased his own copy of this issue for whatever reason. The series was drifting a bit at this particular moment, with this being another in a string of fill-in stories designed to buy time before writer/editor Roy Thomas could begin his…
