Title: Marvel Team-Up
Issue Number: 34
Release Date: June 1975

Highlights

  • First appearance of Luis Dominquez, and Ralph McElroy
  • Death of Luis Dominquez, and Ralph McElroy
  • Reference is made to The Amazing Spider-Man 36, 144, and 145
  • Reference to Roger Moore, and Bob Hope
  • Valkyrie reams out Nighthawk for sympathizing with Meteor Man (prior issue), and not going after him
  • Jeramiah decides he'd rather go after Valkyrie
Low Points
  • They really hammer home the sexism towards Valkyrie, making sure to point out she's a woman at every chance
  • Odd cut from chapter two to three with a very noticeable gap in how we got from point A to B
  • Just as the action starts, the story abruptly wraps up
  • Jeramiah is a slow build up - This is the second issue we've seen him in where he talks a good game, but doesn't do anything, or even interact with Spider-Man
Oddities
  • Editor's Day Off: "This for you, Pal!"
Rating (based on a 1 through 5 Stans grading system)

  1. OG Valkyrie is a favorite of mine, probably because she was in The Defenders which I read because Dr Strange is my favorite Marvel character. I was so annoyed when Jane Foster took up the name, like, you're not THE Valkyrie, get outta here!

    1. 100% agree. Marvel was notorious for randomly giving mantels to random characters that they shouldn't have had.
