  • Best podcast for catching up with marvel comics

    I’ve been listening and reading along for a few years now, and I’ve read from the beginning up to 1986. This podcast has allowed me to finally enjoy some of the early classics I’ve always heard about (Lee/ditko Spider-Man, coming of galactus, kree/skrull war) and even discover some runs/characters that I never knew of or thought I would like (panther’s rage, Shang-chi, Luke cage, search for eternity). After reading a comic that I like or love it’s always fun to get Zack’s and Dave’s (and eventua... more

Marvel’s universe can feel overwhelming. You can jump in anywhere across its 60+ year history and still enjoy it, but for me, having the historical context before diving into modern comics felt important.

    The podcast provides an approachable way to explore each year of Marvel’s history and it’s consistently entertaining. Every episode tea... more

    Once again, despite the constant campaign to unfairly malign him, Zack stands at the ready to strike back against the dead eyed dogmatism that threatens to enslave the world of comics at every turn. No matter how it shocks Dave, Zack refuses to bow to the growing hordes of the comic book consensus and I will stand by his side through every battle. Charlotte’s there doin her thing too.
