February 2, 2019 7:14 pm I had been reading comics for less than a year when WCA #1 came out. With the regular Avengers title already numbering in the mid-200s, this seemed like a way to get in on the ground floor of an Avengers team, and the WCA were going to be *my* Avengers. I could follow a team from the beginning and know the whole story and never be lost in continuity that I'd never find back issues for. I loved the West Coast book. It's probably why pre-MCU Hawkeye has always been my favorite Avenger. My friends and I were playing TSR's Marvel Super Heroes RPG (the FASERIP system) with me GMing. The "Avengers Coast-to-Coast" (pub. 1986) had rules for setting up your own campaign with an Avengers Experimental Franchise set in your own hometown. I ran this campaign for a while with an Avengers team set in a renovated train station in Richmond, Virginia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers_Coast-to-Coast ------------------------------ Love the nostalgia Booksplodes, guys, I hope you keep in that vein. For suggestions, I thought about requesting Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition (1985) but that's just mean. I hope you do the Byrne FF run at some point, but I have a different suggestion: G.I. Joe: Classics Vol. 3 "The classic Marvel Comics G.I. Joe gets new life in this third collection of must-have stories! The original Marvel Comics adventures of America's elite special-mission force continues with a special silent issue featuring Snakes Eyes and Scarlett, mysterious twin tattoo's, a funeral for a friend, and plastic surgery for a wounded enemy. Plus the origins of Snake Eyes revealed! This action-packed volume collects G.I. Joe issues #21-30."
