The fact that Busiek wrote that initial run makes it all the more intriguing to me.Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-27254739489234247832016-07-13T11:00:47.801-05:002016-07-13T11:00:47.801-05:00Edo you are correct.

Karla Sofen was a fairly interesting character as the team straddled the line between heroics and villainy, she was a master manipulator and I would say one of the best female villains maybe ever. The first twelve issues of that series are definitely worth a read.

I would certainly agree that he's not one of Cap's "greatest" foes, as evidenced by this very example of his staying power in our collective conscience.<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248324005584963229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-18996548473359709412016-07-13T02:34:22.146-05:002016-07-13T02:34:22.146-05:00John, yep, I've only read stories with the fem...John, yep, I've only read stories with the female Moonstone - mainly when she was a member of Zemo's Masters of Evil in Avengers.

Also, I'm finding the texts mildly amusing, e.g. Loki is a "pain in the Asgard to Thor."
