I'm pretty sure the TRUE story was told around, oh, 47 years ago. Guess that doesn't fly these days, though...

Good to see you DL! And I was just thinking that the Marvel universe needs more confusion right now. There are 3 or 4 different Captain Americas running around, 500 Hulks, 2 Black Panthers, blah blah blah. This is the type of incoherence that made me dump the X-Men forever in the late 80's.

I know. Not a big fan of retcons, but anything that takes me back to those glory days is a welcome addition to my library.
I think Casey lost some fans with EMH#2 and his revelation that everyone knew that Hank Pym was Yellowjacket, but I think he does love the old team.

I'll be picking this up too, probably when it's in trade format. I agree with ff: I love anything that revisits the old days.

And I've enjoyed Casey's work on EMH and EMH II, even if I didn't quite buy his take on YJ-Avengers (also mentioned by ff). I'd love to see Casey explore the Kooky Quartet era.
