#181 part 2.

Green Lantern: The final issue of the Kyle Rayner-era that would lead one month later into Green Lantern: Rebirth and the return of Hal Jordan. It caused a lot of stink back at the time but what came after more than made up for the grousing. (2004)

Justice League of America: Green Arrow - the oldest non-Big Seven member of the group - leaves the team! (1980)

Superman (2002)

Uncanny X-Men: The X-Men return from the Secret Wars battleplanet with a giant dragon in tow! Xavier has a hideous costume. And the Mutant Registration Act is born. (1984)

Unexpected: A holdover from my uncle’s collection about a girl who can change into a killer feline. That’s about all I remember but I do remember it was spooky! (1977)

Wonder Woman (2002)

By the way - two other standout 181 issues that I never read or owned:

Batman - the first appearance of Poison Ivy! (1966)

and Hulk - the first full story appearance of Wolverine (I’ll explain next time). (1974)
