(52) Daredevil #16-17: Punch First, Team Up Later

Hey everyone! This week Scott and I have finally gotten around to some Silver Age Daredevil with issues 16 and 17, a classic two-parter from 1966 where Stan Lee and John Romita Sr. pull off one of Marvel's all-time great tricks: getting Spider-Man and Daredevil to beat the snot out of each other, and it's all the Masked Marauder's fault! So dust off your longbox, settle in, and let's have some fun!

(51) God Loves, Man Kills: Marvel at Its Most Meaningful

Hey everyone! This week Scott and I are tackling one of the most powerful and emotionally charged stories in X-Men history, the legendary graphic novel God Loves, Man Kills. It is a heavy one, folks, but we promise to make it a good time as we work our way through this timeless tale that somehow feels just as relevant today as it ever did. And because we like to keep things interesting, we are also spending some time going through one lucky listener's personal top ten favorite comic covers ever! That's right, somebody actually wrote in, and now we all have to live with their choices. Pull up a chair, grab your longbox, and hang out with us!

(49) The Defenders: Doctor Strange, Hulk, and Namor Walk Into a Comic

This week we spend some time with the very beginning of The Defenders, looking at issues #1–4 from the early Bronze Age. Doctor Strange, the Hulk, and Namor come together in what might be the most unlikely team in Marvel. Along the way we talk about why the Defenders always felt a little different from the more organized superhero teams. As usual, we share our impressions of these early issues and what stood out to us and we hope you join us!

(48) Giant-Sized Invaders #1: Bronze Age Meets the Golden Age

This week we head back to the early days of the Marvel Universe with Giant-Sized Invaders #1. Roy Thomas brings Captain America, Bucky, the Human Torch, Toro, and Namor the Sub-Mariner together for a Bronze Age return to wartime heroics, with dynamic art from Frank Robbins. We talk about how this story revisits Marvel’s Golden Age roots, what works, what feels different, and how these larger-than-life characters land for us reading it now.

(47) The Champions: Ambition, Confusion, and Charm

This week Scott and I spend some time with The Champions, Marvel’s short-lived 1975 team book that brought together an unlikely group of heroes that includes Black Widow, Hercules, Ghost Rider, Iceman, and Angel. It’s a series that never quite found its footing, but that may be part of its charm (or not!). Come hang out with us as we look back at one of Marvel’s more curious team titles from the era.

(46) Remembering Sal Buscema

This week Scott and I spend some time remembering our shared favorite artist, the late Sal Buscema. We are not breaking down panels or ranking runs. We are simply talking about what his work meant to us.
From The Incredible Hulk to Nova and especially ROM: Spaceknight, Sal’s art was part of the Marvel we grew up with. Steady. Expressive. Always there when we needed it.
Join us as we share memories, favorite moments, and a little gratitude for an artist who helped shape our love of comics.

(45) Luke Cage, Hero for Hire: Meeting Cage on the Page

This week Scott and I finally sat down with Luke Cage, Hero for Hire. We both knew Cage as a character long before this, but this was our first real time reading his early comics. We talk through our overall impressions and what stood out to us as first time readers.  
Hang out with us as we talk about all things early Luke Cage in this unique Bronze Age creation!

(44) Devil Dinosaur: When Kirby Went Full Kirby

This week Scott and I take a trip into one of Jack Kirby’s most unexpected creations: Devil Dinosaur. Kirby handled the concept, story, and art himself, and we went in expecting something fun but a bit campy. Instead, we found a surprisingly engaging Bronze Age series that carries strong echoes of Silver Age adventure and Golden Age energy. Join us as we experience this Kirby oddity for the first time and discover why it turned out to be far more memorable than we ever expected.

(43) Marvel Two in One: Hanging Out With Ben Grimm

In this episode, Scott and I take a look at what we think are some of the best examples of Marvel Two in One, focusing on issues that show why Ben Grimm has always been one of Marvel’s most beloved characters. The Thing is always human, funny, stubborn, loyal, and thoughtful. As always, we invite you to hang out with us, revisit these issues, and see whether you find yourself agreeing with us or quietly arguing back!
