Make Mine Manga!

Personal drama is getting in the way of getting an episode out on time, but hopefully a surprise drop helps your hump day along!

We’re continuing our read through two fantastic Dan Slott runs: Silver Surfer and Superior Spider-Man. Grab your trades and follow along!

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?

New babies mean the boys are taking a break this week, but that didn’t stop Aldo from doing a deep dive into the career of one of our favorite art teams: the incomparable Gurihiru!

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.

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.

 

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!

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?

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.

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.
