On the subject of favourite panels from the older stories, I had to screenshot this one from near the end of Kang Dynasty;

Finished Remender's Venom run. The second half starts with Circle of Four, which is a mashup with Agent Venom, X-23, Red Hulk and Ghost Rider and is widely regarded as not being very good. I thought it was fine, but it is pretty bog standard comic book action fair. A bit messy and nothing to make it stand out. But then the rest of the run rounds off the story from the first half in a really satisfying way. Flash continues to be a really good main character, but the villains are also noteworthy, with Jack O'Lantern being a standout. Really, really liked this run. May well be my second favourite after Hickman's Fantastic Four for individual character/team runs, though admittedly I haven't read very many of them at this point. I suppose Brubaker's Captain America should figure in there somewhere, but I read it around other events so didn't necessarily get absorbed in it as much as I might have.

I'm eyeing Remender's Cap run next, as Secret Wars pre reading.
