For the past year the Openrach site has said "We're building in your area" so I've been checking periodically. Had an OR engineer out last week to fix a copper cable fault up the road from me, and he was quite confident my street would be getting FTTP within the next 6 months. Now the website shows this. And now I'm sad.

Best Story Arcs in Marvel?

What are, in your opinion, the best story arcs in Marvel? I don't necessarily mean events like Civil War, or 'banner' periods like Dark Reign or Heroic Age, but something like the Totem period in Spider-Man, or Captain America as Nomad, for example.

Yesterday a man knocked on my front door, around 14:00. I work from home so was there to answer. When I opened the door he was standing 10-feet down the driveway from me. He didn't say anything as I stood there, so I said hi. He then said something like "Hi, I'm Jeremiah, I've got some great cuts of meat and fish in my van, lets go take a look," and started to walk back to his white transit van without waiting for me to say anything. The way he said "Let's go take a look," sounded like a depressed gameshow host. I half shouted "No, I'm good thanks," and he just waved his hand in the air before getting in the van and driving off. I live on a regular residential street with plenty of neighbors, and after checking on the neighbourhood group chat the people who were also home confirmed he hadn't gone to anyone else's house that afternoon. To get ahead of any potential questions; he was white, didn't have a noticeable accent, and didn't look like a traveller. I'm honestly stuck between finding it weirdly funny and being a bit creeped out.
