TOO MANY DOOMS (1982)

The creepy, doll-faced Puppet Master tried to create a new life for himself and his niece, Alicia Masters, by transferring their minds into tiny robot bodies so they could live in peace in the purpose-built town of Liddleville - a shrunken village populated by minute robot citizens. 

In an effort to turn this already-insane plan into a revenge plot against the Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom transferred the minds of the FF into tiny bodies and removed their memories. The team eventually learned the truth and escaped Liddleville and took Doom's inert body back to the Baxter Building, unaware that Doom's consciousness was still trapped in the tiny body of Professor Vince Vaughn in Liddleville...

While the Thing sleeps, Franklin Richards takes the Micronauts to the Baxter Building's sub-molecular studies lab where a sea of Antrons are running wild.

In the Microverse, King Argon continues to transform himself in the Body Banks, becoming more like Baron Karza. He also rejects an alliance with Belladonna who now inhabits Lady Slug's body. Back on Earth, the Micronauts lose more supplies in another sewer incident before they reach Doctor Doom's castle in their Reducta Craft. They answer a call for help from Phillip Masters (Aka, the Puppet Master) in Liddleville to bring down Doctor Doom who has taken over the tiny town after constructing a suit of armour for the body of Vincent Vaughn that he now inhabits. The Micronauts are no match for Doom, but a fire starts in the Liddleville version of his castle, stranding him in place and melting the perfect features of Vince Vaughn. The Micronauts leave, no closer to returning home...

The Micronauts leave the Puppet Master to gloat over Doom's freshly melted face until a full-size Doctor Doom flattens him with his palm and pockets tiny Doom. In Manhattan, the Fantastic Four take Doctor Doom's inert body to the Latverian Embassy where they're separated and attacked by four different Dooms. By the time the FF defeat their robotic enemies, they learn the real Doctor Doom's mind has been transferred back to his body and they're now aboard a ship heading towards a Latveria in ruins...

X-MEN READING ORDER: Children of the Atom (1963-1970)

Who knew they'd end up being one of Marvel's biggest franchises? The X-Men (originally intended to be launched as 'The Mutants') were created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee and really focused heavily on the Marvel vibe of teenage outsiders. Despite the presence of regular nemesis Magneto (now one of Marvel's premiere villains), interactions with the rest of the Marvel Universe and a career-defining run by artist Neal Adams, the teens didn't really click with the audience and the series was cancelled after 66 issues. It ran as a reprint title, rerunning its own stories until issue 94. In this reading order, I've listed every appearance of the five X-Men members - along with their mentor, Professor X - from their first appearance right up to their cancellation. Their defining moments and key interactions with Spider-Man , the Avengers , Fantastic Four and other receive the spotlight treatment, but you can pick and choose whatever you want to read. It's up

WRAITH WAR (1984-1985)

Countless years ago, the Celestials messed about with the Skulls ' gene pool and, among other things, created an offshoot of Deviant Skrulls called Dire Wraiths . These warped and murderous magic users were chased off their home to the world and found a new home in the Dark Nebula , naming their new home Wraithworld . Then, just two hundred years ago, the Dire Wraiths invaded Galador , only to get their saggy arses kicked across the universe by the Galadorian Spaceknights . The Spaceknights spread out across the galaxies, hunting the Dire Wraiths as they tried to invade other planets. One such cyborg Spaceknight, Rom , came to Earth to end the threat they posed to our world. Most people perceived Rom as a rampaging alien toaster-bot, as the Wraiths used magic to disguise themselves as human and Rom lost a little of his humanity over the centuries.  But he'd run into many of Earth heroes during his time on Earth, and made friends with serial sidekick Rick Jones and found lov
