Dr. Strange relaxing at the end of a long adventure with a ciggie. I guess the Sanctum Sanctorum must smell like stale tobacco smoke.

I wish writers would give Black Bolt a standard, limited power set rather than just “whatever the plot requires.” It’s silly.

Can’t decide if “Viceroy of Vegetables” is more dumb or less dumb than “Plantman.” I’ve gotta admit I kinda like it.
