SAVE A HOWLER (1968)

The version of the super-villain Klaw (Ulysses Klaw) who featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-199999) appeared to have a bit of a name change, appearing as Ulysses Klaue. This apparent adjustment actually relates back to the character's mainstream Marvel Universe appearances. Not long after Klaw's first appearance, a Nazi character with a similar-sounding name (and missing hand) appeared in Marvel's World War II-centric Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos #39. Colonel Fritz Klaue is later revealed to be Ulysses Klaw's father, who legally changed his name to Fritz Klaw after the war (see the 'Fallout' section below).

In the story SAVE A HOWLER, Colonel Klaue upgrades his metal hand for one with bionic elements. Giving the middle finger is pretty deadly when Klaue gives it to the Howling Commandos. Though his connection to Klaw wasn't established for some time, yet, he still made life difficult for Nick Fury on more than one occasion before the war was over.

In an earlier story, Izzy Cohen of the Howling Commandos was captured by Japanese soldiers. Now, Captain Savage has learned that Izzy is alive and prepares to send the Leatherneck Raiders on a rescue mission...

Thanks to Thomas Trombley for pointing this one out to me!

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
