Posted on March 9, 2022September 18, 2023 by phil.wrede
On a video call, New York City's Mayor Gruenwald (named for longtime Marvel Comics writer/editor Mark Gruenwald) and Domino argue over which one of them first realized HYDRA were the bad guys, and whether or not that actually matters.

Welcome to PizzaRat dot Net, where I (Phil Wrede) post my toy comics!
