  A pair of flaming scissors? Seriously? Smoke ring lassos? Really?
"If crooks weren't stupid, they wouldn't be crooks!" Did he really say that?

Must be pretty tricky to smuggle a shovel into a prison cell.

"I can tell the age of the picture from its style! It's about a million years old!"

Fire hydrants extinguish Torch's flame, but last issue he was submerged in the ocean and came out flaming.

  Halfway through it seemed a mildly interesting story, but some of Stan's plot solutions seem to be questioning just how stupid the reader may be...

  This was just bad. Mid-way through the story things were going as decent as a Human Torch story can go, and then they pull out some horribly dumb ending.

  Wait...this felon can decipher hieroglyphs? That's as bad as Hank Pym, a scientist, knowing judo, just like ever other good guy in the Marvel Universe.

  Eh, I didn't hate this one the way that I do some other stories in this run, but that doesn't mean that it's good. The way that Johnny defeats The Painter is bullshit.

  My first single star, hoping I wouldn't have had to give one of these. A major stretch from the Bullpen.
