We’re back from sick leave with our technically holiday episode! There’s not much to celebrate when the King in Black comes around, except for maybe we like Venom now? Also, we visited the world of Marvel’s Champions, because what says Christmas more than teen heroes?

Well, the plague has come to the Superhuman Registration Podcast, and none are spared. So we’re skipping our usual episode format this week, and instead Stephen is taking a closer look at the career of letterer extraordinaire Chris Eliopoulos!

We take a break from the tights and flights this week to discuss some classic literature. We look first at the Marvel adaptation of Pride and Prejudice (no zombies - October was last month), and then we review The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (no music - comics are a visual medium).

We took a break from playing Marvel Snap to try something a little different. We still read a bunch of comics (in this case, Giant Size Dracula #2, The New Mutants Special Edition #1, and The Chris Claremont Anniversary Special), but this time we chose to focus on the career of one individual. There’s a clue to who the topic of our exploration this week was in one of the issue titles. Can you figure it out?

The spookiest season of ‘22 concludes with the traditional observation of All Hallow’s Eve: trick or treating, singing the Monster Mash around a trash fire… and, of course, the annual reading of Marvel Zombies. This year, we tackle Marvel Zombies Return, and we follow that up with a little Halloween cheesecake in the form of 2001’s Bloodstone.

Welcome to the last* episode of the Superhuman Registration Podcast! We go out with a bang. A big one, like the bang of a backfiring motorcycle from hell. We’ve got a double-feature of Ghost Rider this week, specifically focusing on Robbie Reyes, both as a soloist and an Avenger.
*not actually the last, even though John is wrong about soup.

We got another threefer - this one, a trip through the history! We start at the beginning, with the creation of a (counter) Earth in Marvel Premiere #1. From there, we move to the birth of modern mutant storytelling with Giant Size X-Men #1. Lastly, we conclude with a jaunt to an alternate history in Spider-Man Life Story Annual.

Heists and hijinks dominate this week’s discussion of two tales from very different corners of the Marvel universe… with one unexpected overlap*!
Tune in for our discussion of MODOK’s 11 and the opening arc of Mark Waid’s Daredevil!
*It’s the Spot, of all things.

The rise of a certain Atlantean to the big screen prompts the boys of the Superhuman Registration Podcast to explore the life and times of Namor the Sub-Mariner!
…or, at least, the life and that one time he invaded New York in Fantastic Four Annual #1.
We follow that up with Secret Invasion, a Marvel event unlike any other event comic, in that it might be the most 2008 comic we’ve ever read.
