  • Zack Was Right

    My Marvelous Year is the absolute best Marvel comics out there. I could listen to the hosts discuss literally anything but it is so fun to read along with them week to week.

    Additionally, their Slack community is made up of a bunch of great people with fun comic and other discussions.

    I will say that I have action with fraction, Zack is 100% right about Hawkeye, but we know he actually just likes movies and not comics JK

  • 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

    Zack is from an alternate dimension and like can’t understand the most basic plot points. Otherwise an amazing podcast!

    EDIT: Zack addressed this complaint on an episode so it’s only fair I address back! That was a really good response. I genuinely don’t think about pacing when it comes to comics which explains the large different in how we read and interpret stuff.

    I still disagree with a lot of his takes, but I know understand where he’s coming from and it was like, a concise answer. A very... more
