Superhuman Registration Podcast

King, Kang, Mojo

No, it isn’t a crossover between malefic monkeys King Kong and Mojo Jojo. Rather, we’re exploring some curious side stories featuring everyone’s favorite villains. Kang! Kingpin! Mojo!

…well, Stephen likes Mojo.

What You Love Sucks

Two thirds of our little group have never played Marvel Rivals. Will the comic adaptation (tie-in? advertisement?) convince them to join the bandwagon? We’ll find out right after we check in with where we left the Runaways last time in Miami.

Look, there’s no real theme connecting these two books. Not everything has to be connected. Life is chaotic. Let that be fun!

That’s Barely a Name

The Marvel Mangaverse is one of the weirder artifacts of early-2000s comicsdom. Is it a back-issue bizarrerie, or a buried gem?

Also, Iron Fist was one of the stars of the post-Civil War Marvel universe. How does this Fraction/Brubaker hold up today?

Dave-agar Boltagon

It’s the joke that won’t die! When Medusa appears in the replacement roster for the FF, of COURSE we see it as an opportunity to dunk on our favorite weird superhero name.

Also… Star Wars! You know Star Wars, right? But do you know Star Wars comics? Even if they are just the movie again? It’s the manga adaptation of Return of the Jedi on the Superhuman Registration Podcast!

Fill-In: MCU Top (and Bottom) Five

With the others out of commission, Stephen takes the bold stand of declaring that some of the MCU films aren’t very good, while others are pretty great. Yes, we’re still talking about this in 2025. Come for the bad takes, stay for the regrettable takes.

Nunchucks from Betsy Ross’s Femurs

Well, none of us are feeling particularly patriotic at the moment. Luckily, neither is Cap, which makes Ta-Nehesi Coates’s “Captain of Nothing” an appropriate read for the moment.

”Cosmic Cooties,” featuring both Moon Girl AND Devil Dinosaur, is less timely but still satisfying. Join us for the evening, won’t you?

Distinct Lack of Scuttlebutt

With the earth looking so bleak these days, we turn our eyes to the stars… only to see the Annihilation Wave headed for us? What the crap, stars?!!?

It’s Annihilation: Scourge and the origin of Spider-Woman on this week’s Superhuman Registration Podcast!

Okay Boomer…ang

Way back in 2014, the Superior Fors of Spider-Man took the world by storm.

[checks notes]

Excuse me… I’m reading here that they got up to a lot of mischief and… peed themselves a lot.

[clears throat] Awkward.

Anyway, how do their adventures hold up in 2025? Let’s sit down and give it a read.

We Are Legion, We Are Dumb

We continue to slowly make our way through a pair of critically-acclaimed series: The Mighty Thor and The Immortal Hulk. Both arcs today deal with themes of superheroic theology, which excites the heck out of Stephen. But are the stories any good? Let’s rank them and see!

This Sweater I Don’t Like

For the holidays, we each picked someone out and gave them a single issue story that we thought they would like/find interesting to discuss. Then, of course, we all met up to talk about them! Happy holidays! See you in 2025!
