Team-Up. I started collecting right after the switch over to The Thing (first issue was Thing 3, I think).

Team-Up was a great introduction to characters of the Marvel Universe, particularly those that didnt have their own books. I also remember thinking man, with three books a month, Spidey's a busy guy!

Does anyone know whay they switched these two comics from team ups to solo books? At least in Spider-man's case, I dont think Web was appreciably superior than MTU.

I gotta go with Two-In-One because of the Project Pegasus Saga!

And the Serpent Crown Affair!

Ok, Guys, I am going to Florida first thing in the morning for a much needed vacation.  I will not be online.  Therefore Ted's Toss-Up will continue after I return.  In the meantime, why don't the regulars ask the daily questions?  Early bird catches the worm.  If you are the first to post tomorrow, do not post again.  Let someone else post the next day's question, and so on until all the regulars post.  If you post today and no one posts tomorrow, then you can post a question the next day.  Maybe you all agree to let the first guy post them all.  It is up to you.  I have really enjoyed hosting Toss-Up and thank you all for playing.  I hope you enjoy yourselves while I am gone.  I will "see" you when I get back. 

And remember...

Be good to each other!

:-)

Mail me and my knees some of that Florida sunshine.

Since no one else posted a question for today, I'll do it.

  Doctor Strange or Doctor Fate, who's the better sorcerer?

*Edited to include the date.

Dr. Strange by a mile.

Catching up from the previous two days...

Brave and the Bold

Marvel Two-in-One. I'm a bigger fan of Spider-Man than the Thing, but I'll concede that MTIO usually had the better stories, such as the aforementioned Project Pegasus story and the Hydra storyline that introduced Spider-Woman.

MTU often seemed like a throwaway book - the stories usually didn't fit into what was going on in Amazing Spider-Man or PPTSS at the time. You rarely saw much of Spider-Man's great supporting cast and the choice of villains usually was straight off the D-list. I really wanted to like this book, but more often than not, I was disappointed.
