Planet Hulk is empirically one of the best Marvel comics ever made… but what about the stories that came next? The boys tackle World War Hulk and Banner’s vengeful rampage. Then we turn our attention to Hulk’s companions in Aftersmash: Warbound, and find ourselves surprisingly moved by the relationship between a couple of rocky bros.

As long as it’s still seasonally appropriate to watch Over the Garden Wall, it’s still seasonally appropriate to have a Halloween episode. Our annual return to Marvel Zombies brought some surprises in the form of Marvel Zombies 5, and our nostalgia buttons were definitely pressed when we read the RL Stine-penned Man-Thing. Did we actually like the stories? Listen to the episode and find out!

The real world has been a beast lately, so the boys are taking a week off from the grind of… reading… comics.
To help pass the time, though, Stephen is here with three recommendations for favorite comics books.
That’s “books about comics,” not “comic books.” Here’s a good opportunity to practice those language comprehension skills that may have been left fallow for a while!

Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
Episode is a bit late this week, but we think it’ll be worth the wait. The boys take a look at the career of the late, great John Romita Sr. through some of the amazing comics he left behind. We always love the chance to flex our art critic muscles, and we enjoyed seeing the way JRSR influenced the industry. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

The High Evolutionary - star of the big screen and of this week’s episode, where the boys take a look at 1989’s Evolutionary War saga. The landscape of Marvel events looks dramatically different now from 25-ish years ago. How well does this event hold up?
