Spawn #9 (1st Angela)
This is the first appearance of bad girl Angela penciled by Todd McFarlane and written by Neil Gaiman (who owns all new characters in this issue). A couple years later Angela was given a sizzling 3-issue mini-series. It's tough to determine why Angela wasn't given a regular series. She basically vanished from the Spawn universe for 5 years until Spawn #62. Was she such a bad girl that McFarlane was punishing her? She sure helped sell a ton of McFarlane's figures in the meantime. This issue also contains the first appearance of Medieval Spawn and Cagliostro.

Uncanny X-Men #269
Uncanny X-Men #269
Rogue finally blossums into the hot X-Man we all hoped she would grow into. Of course, it helps when Jim Lee is penciling. Rogue loses her clothes in this issue and looks for some leaves and bushes in the Savage Land to cover up. Oh yeah, and Ms. Marvel pops up. She's kind of ticked about Rogue putting her into a coma and stealing her powers. Ya know, the powers of flight and superstrength that they never gave Rogue in the X-Men movies. What was the point of Rogue appearing in the X-Men trilogy if she was so weak? And where the flip was Gambit? At least Hugh Jackman rocked as Wolverine.
