Introducing them to the Impossible City, pitting them against their archenemy Kang, and even a bloody I put them through their paces at my first Red Band event! Today I got to work with some of the best artists working on some of Marvel’s biggest characters, and I will forever remember my time with Marvel.” Greetings, Earth’s Mightiest Hero! ”
