Steve Englehart went to Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. After a stint in the Army, he moved to New York and began to write for Marvel Comics. That led to long runs on Captain America, The Hulk, The Avengers, Dr. Strange, and a dozen other titles. Midway through that period he moved to California (where he remains), and met and married his wife Terry.
He was finally hired away from Marvel by DC Comics, to be their lead writer and revamp their core characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern). He did, but he also wrote a solo Batman series (immediately dubbed the "definitive" version) that later became Warner Brothers' first Batman film (the good one).
After that he left comics for a time, traveled in Europe for a year, wrote a novel (The Point Man™), and came back to design video games for Atari (E.T., Garfield). But he still liked comics, so he created Coyote™, which within its first year was rated one of America's ten best series. Other projects he owned (Scorpio Rose™, The Djinn™) were mixed with company series (Green Lantern [with Joe Staton], Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four). Meanwhile, he continued his game design for Activision, Electronic Arts, Sega, and Brøderbund.
And once he and Terry had their two sons, Alex and Eric, he naturally told them stories. Rustle's Christmas Adventure was first devised for them. He went on to add a run of mid-grade books to his bibliography, including the DNAgers™ adventure series, and Countdown to Flight, a biography of the Wright brothers selected by NASA as the basis for their school curriculum on the invention of the airplane.
In 1992 Steve was asked to co-create a comics pantheon called the Ultraverse. One of his contributions, The Night Man, became not only a successful comics series, but also a television show. That led to more Hollywood work, including animated series such as Street Fighter, GI Joe, and Team Atlantis for Disney.
Actual rating 3.7 stars. Wanda is pregnant! And that news knocks Vision right off his feet. It was pretty sweet just how happy the couple were for this ‘baby’.
I understand the whole issue couldn’t have just been about how happy they were but the side plot with the neighbours was so silly. Yes, it mirrored what happened previously but then they added those two random characters (Glamour and Illusion ) just so there’d be a fight… felt pretty forced to me.
this comic series gets a bit more fun the further you dive into it. the plot of this issue was pretty zesty with the scarlet witch being pregnant, as well as a few “men” trying to kick out wanda and vision out of their new home.
while i do understand their fears, the actions they are partaking is never the answer. but at least they all came to an agreement at the end.
and wow, agatha harkness is officially dead, i’m now wondering if she will come back in the mcu; as in other projects that is not her show. since i’m very keen on her adventures.

Mutant Romance Tales #4(of 12) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars Another run in which the TV series pulled heavily from for source material.Wanda and Vision find out they are having a baby! I liked this Dr. better. :) How the pregnancy happened was truly magical and [SPOILER! DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE OUTCOME SPOILED] actually stems from their last fight together in the previous edition, #3 When Witches Die / Ancestors. I was shocked when coming upon the characters Glamour and Illusion! This comic made me wish I would have read these before the show came out.
For The Children...
New character(s) I met: • Glamour- Glynis Zarkov —controls the molecules of her body (just as Vision does)
• Illusion- Ilya Zarcov —controls the molecules of anything he touches for one minute afterward

Not nearly as weird or as bad as some story lines went so far I liked the Glamour and Illusion appearance as well But Agatha popping up like that is eerie
