WTF are they smoking? Maybe Wiz's butt-kissers oughta take a gander at this post. Probably the biggest knee-slapper in its seventy "Marvelous Moments" is #53: "Heroes Reborn." I'm glad that at least this moment found its way pretty far down on the list, yet, honestly, let's be real - it does deserve to be there. Wizard #215 - Marvel's 70th Anniversary Issue - contains its share of whoppers, and shows its continued brown-nosing of Marvel in general.
