Achievement Unlocked: Top Ten Comics
Monday Jun 25, 2018
Monday Jun 25, 2018
John, Aldo, and Stephen finally reach the milestone. In this episode, we rank our tenth story! Of course, this leaves us with One More Day in the top ten, so we probably shouldn’t call it quits just yet.
Plus, Stephen gets a little too real talking about Deadpool (2015) #20, John shakes his fists at those darn kids and their hip-hop music during Eminem/Punisher, and all three have a good laugh playing Where’s Waldo? while reading A-Babies Vs. X-Babies.

He’s the best at what he does, and what he does is stream simul-dubs straight from Japan. John, Aldo, and Stephen discuss the Wolverine mini-series from 1982 and try to determine exactly how weeby our pal Logan actually is. Turns out everyone has Frank Miller opinions.
Also: who’s your favorite Thor? Is it Ultimate Thor, Mighty Thor, Thor the Unworthy, Throg the Frog Thor, Thrr the... wolf? Badger? There are a lot of these Thors, aren’t there? It’s the Secret War tie-in, Thors!

Due to some last-minute schedule shenanigans, we’re skipping our usual episode format this week. We’ll be back to the rankings next week; in the meantime, Stephen takes us on a brief tour of the professional life of one Stuart Immonen, a noteworthy Marvel creator who announced his retirement last week.

Teenagers Scare The Living $#@% Outta Me

Monday May 21, 2018
What do you do when you can’t trust the adults in your life? Why, you run away, of course! This week, Aldo, John, and Stephen take a look at Runaways, the 2003 series from Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona.
Marvel at our inability to keep anything secret for more than half an hour or so. Also, listen to three thirtysomethings show off their unparalleled knowledge of teen slang. So authentic!

The gang faces its most divisive discussion yet... and it’s only their second episode! Friend turns against friend, lovers are torn apart, and John gets defensive, as Civil War looms!

The Devil You Know

Thursday Apr 26, 2018
Stephen, John, and Aldo embark on a wild new adventure to read (and rank) the stories of Marvel Unlimited! To get us started, we read Infinity Gauntlet (because timing!) and Spider-Man: One More Day (because we hate ourselves!).
- Witness the horror wrought by the mad titan Thanos, and also by some random schmo with a gun!
- What is the strange secret of Adam Warlock? Does it involve a lot of shrugging?
- Who draws the prettiest devil? Quesada or Perez?
- Is Kingpin in this story? Why did I think Kingpin was in this story?
