Change is good...
The end of the marriage of Peter Parker and Mary Jane. I happen to agree with Editor in Chief, Joe Quesada, that having the character married limited the stories you could tell and took him too far from his original concept. A concept so good and simple that countless generations can enjoy it. The way the marriage was dissolved is the particular bone of contention. It involved a deal with Mephisto. The devil demon of the Marvel Universe. I say that's just one of the things that makes Marvel marvel. Anything can happen and with the wealth of characters at their disposal it's all part of the magic. That story arc was called One More Day. It paved the way for a new era of amazing Spider-Man tales dubbed Brand New Day. A perfect jumping on point for new readers with quality creators behind the wheel including Dan Slott and Steve McNiven. It's all about good stories and that's what I love.

Starfox. Other members joined after a while but it was this core centre that I came to love. Adventure! Action! Peril! Wow!
Stern sure knew how to craft a tale that would hook you from the first page and pull you in. Coupled with the mastery of John Buscema, my favourite penciller, you just couldn't get much better than this. They created visions detailing journeys to the prehistoric Savage Land, a Skrull infested Space Station, a heart breaking moment of defeat at the hands of the Masters of Evil and an enraged father seeking revenge for his son's injuries. Particularly dangerous since the father in question was Zeus, king of the Olympian gods.
Led at first by founder member the Wasp, who after a traumatic encounter, passed on the mantle to Captain Marvel. Only now, have the Avengers regained that stature as one of the world's greatest superteams in my eyes and it's great to see. Not for nothing are the Avengers dubbed 'Earth's Mightest Heroes!' Nuff said!
