'Acts of Vengeance' epilogue, inc. Damage Control (1989) Vol. 1 # 1-4, Damage Control (1989) Vol. 2 # 1-4, Damage Control (1991) Vol. 3 # 1-4, Web of Spider-Man (1985) # 64/65


(I originally read these comics in early/mid November 2015)

The first and third 'Damage Control' series aren't relevant to the Acts of Vengeance narrative, being published a year before and a year after, respectively, but I read those to put the second in context. Described as a sitcom within the Marvel Universe about a construction firm that specialises in repairing property damage caused by superhuman conflicts, I have to admit to finding them only intermittently funny. However the art, mostly by the great Ernie Colon with Kyle Baker pitching in for the first issue of the third series, is sublime. Colon should be more revered than he is.
