The "Meddler" is actually my favorite Marvel superhero. And yes, he is a hero precisely because he meddles! I have a complete run of What If to this day, even though Uatu isn't in the newest (not very good) issues that are just a miniseries. But yeah, so many awesome characters debuted in Fantastic Four. I haven't read all those early issues but I have a handful of them, including The Watcher's first appearance.
I found Sgt. Fury a bit hokey compared to DC's Sgt. Rock, or other DC War titles. I would like to see a throwback espionage Nick Fury TV series. I didn't hate Secret Invasion, it just could have been a lot better. Thanks for watching!
Did you read Dr. Doom's origin story in FF Annual #2?.... Its very good! By contrast, Doom's 1st app in FF5 is such a dumb story. This shows the difference in Lee's writing between when he has time to think and when he's in a rush. Another sign that FF5 was rushed is that Kirby's Doom looks the same as his villain in Tales of Suspense #31 which came out the same month. Im not sure which was drawn first.
Yes! I forgot to mention the annuals, and they had some very significant stories, like Doom's origin and the wedding issues in Annual 3. At least Doom didn't 'die' in Annual #2. Early FF issues are certainly clunky, but they do have a certain charm to them.
