Superhuman Registration Podcast

Under the Sun All is Fungible

The comics Star Wars universe keeps getting bigger, and we continue to poke around out there with another installment of the Doctor Aphra series!

Plus, the tendrils of Marvel/Disney have been grabbing different properties for years. We take a look at a more obscure offering in Mystic, an old Crossgen property with a fresh coat of paint.

Ain’t Nobody Dope Like Jeff

IT’s JEFF!!!

…no, seriously. It’s just Jeff. We did a whole episode about Jeff the land shark and the Infinity Comic dedicated to his adorable antics.

If we had the chance, we’d do it again.

 

The Ghost of Christmas Eff-off

This week, we tackle a pair of character-defining stories (or at least character-illuminating): Daredevil’s “The Devil in Cell Block D” and Captain Marvel’s “Enemy Within.” Read along and enjoy the show!

Finger Guns to Leia

The Marvel era of Star Wars is a curious one, that brings opportunities to explore the cast of the original trilogy in a way that’s never been done before*.  This week, the boys dip into a few issues of the Age of the Rebellion event to see what more can be done with Luke, Han, Leia, and Vader.

*E.U.? What’s that?

Trendy Cyborg Eyepiece

Our two stories this week take us to the edge of the universe… and beyond!

A review of 2012’s X-treme X-Men prompts a discussion of what makes a good alternate universe story, while the landmark 2006 event Annihilation has us questioning how the Guardians of the Galaxy even came to exist.

Take That, Whiteman!

Spider-Man, Spider-Man,

Does whatever a spider can!

…which, this week, includes DIE. It’s the Death of [Ultimate] Spider-man, this week on the Superhuman Registration Podcast.

WITH some bonus Miles Morales.

A One-Trick Skunk

This week, we take a look into the deep back catalog for some stories that completely passed us by.  Is the 2004 Starjammer’s series secretly one of the best stories ever written?  What about 2017’s Nick Fury miniseries?  We gambled - did we strike gold?

J-Hole, His Right-Hand Man

It’s time for the sequel nobody asked for except for some branding genius at Disney: Civil War II! 

In reviewing the first Civil War event, the boys decided that the best stuff in this massive crossover occurred in the tie-in issues.  Will the same hold true here?  Is Civil War II: Kingpin somehow better than the main event?  And is the main event itself any good?  Let’s find out together!

Lusting for Namor

Lots of folks are curious about Black Knight after his appearance in the MCU (spoilers: Stephen hasn’t seen it yet), so the boys at the podcast decided to visit the character’s very early origins. 

We also dip our toes back into the waters of early 2000s Fantastic Four comics and the work of creative wizard Grant Morrison. Is 1 2 3 4 as rough a read as we’ve heard?

K’un L’un, New England

Out there, there are infinite universes, and yet in all of them, Tony Stark is a jerk. We head back to the Ultimates universe for a second stint with that world’s premier superhero team. It’s Ultimates 2! The first one!
