180 - Parker: Slayground by Darwyn Cooke + The Korvac Saga #9 (Avengers #175)

We're getting a little burned out on superheroes, so to change things up we're reading an adaptation of a crime novel written by a prolific novelist under one of his many pseudonyms. That's right, it can only be Richard Stark's Parker: Slayground by Darwyn Cooke! Cooke adapted 4 of these stories and we're reading the final one where our protagonist uses an abandoned amusement park setting to elude some evil mobsters. Then we continue The Korvac Saga with Avengers #175 in which nobody is really sure what to do! Next Time: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
