THE BOYS: "The Insider"

July 15, 2024 19:00 - 2 hours - 84.1 MB

This week The Boys both delights and disappoints in ways that are very specifically on-brand for The Boys. It's weird that this show can be so good and so frustrating at the exact same time! In the intro we talk about the latest comic book movie news, including a controversy surrounding Captain America: Brave New World that will likely lose us subscribers. Also: we react to the trailers for that film and Agatha All Along, and we don't agree! If you don't care about any of that stuff skip r...

THE BOYS: "Dirty Business"

July 08, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 71.6 MB

Holy whips and chains, Tek Knight! This week's episode of The Boys brings us into that universe's version of the Batcave, and it's as pervy as you might expect. But is the episode any good? That's the big question.  Also: some news, including whether or not Kevin Feige is playing favorites. If you don't care about that, skip to 33:57.  This week's music is the Velvet Underground.  Thanks for listening!

THE BOYS: "Beware of the Jabberwock, My Son"

July 01, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 66.3 MB

You want Superman news? We got Superman news - tons of pics from the Cleveland set of James Gunn's Superman have hit the web, and we have thoughts on them! Also some other news from the world of comics and movies, including the reveal that Marvel intends on returning to Hall H at Comic-Con this year in a big way. What could they be bringing? On The Boys we have three storylines that feel consequential in their own way, and we get Simon Pegg delivering a performance so good that I have to ea...

Special Free Episode: THE ACOLYTE: "Night"

June 27, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 64.9 MB

Here's a free listen to another one of our podcasts, The Bad Batch, where we talk Star Wars. This week's episode of The Acolyte was such a big deal that we thought folks who aren't normally subscribed might want to listen, and that maybe this would incentivize you to come join us at the Patreon! It's as simple as going to www.patreon.com/cinemasangha and subscribing for only $1 a month. A dollar! Please be aware: we go heavy spoilers early so if you aren't watching The Acolyte but might som...

THE BOYS: "Wisdom of the Ages"

June 24, 2024 19:00 - 2 hours - 83.1 MB

It's dark this season on The Boys, and our heroes are cruising for a bruising. Especially Starlight, who is cruising to put a bruising on Firecracker. And Homelander goes to Carvel! That's can't be ominous, can it? This week Derek is tired! There's Superman news (but we recorded before today's set pics appeared). And I don't do so well at trivia. Thanks for listening! Come join us on the Patreon!

THE BOYS Season 4 Episodes 1. 2 & 3

June 17, 2024 19:00 - 2 hours - 108 MB

Welcome back to Marvelvision! As we wait for new Marvel stuff to make its way to us we are branching out a bit to cover season four of the hit Amazon Prime show The Boys. This show is based on a comic book that both of deeply dislike, but we have very much enjoyed the series to date, and the fourth season appears to continue a good - if slightly repetitive - streak.  The first three episodes are The Department of Dirty Tricks, Life Among the Septics and We'll Keep the Red Flag Flying Here, ...

All By Myself: THE FALL GUY and CHALLENGERS

May 31, 2024 19:00 - 45 minutes - 31.6 MB

Derek is off on vacation this week so I took to the mic solo to talk about some movies I have seen recently. I go into The Fall Guy and Challengers, featuring some spoilers about Challengers, and along the way touch on Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and Tangerine, among other stuff.  Derek is returning to the United States right now so we will be back with regularly scheduled programming soon; our next episode of any podcast will be for our Star Wars show, The Bad Batch, where we'll cover the two ...

X-MEN '97: "Tolerance Is Extinction Part 3"

May 17, 2024 18:00 - 2 hours - 84.9 MB

This week it's the big finale of season one of X-Men '97 and you better believe we have a fight about Iron Man and Captain America's cameos in the episode. A big one! We also talk about how this show might be the best Marvel Comics adaptation ever, our guesses about next season and we weigh on whether or not everyone should kiss.  That all happens at 50:35. Before that it's all sorts of news, including the official title of the Agatha show, Scott Snyder visits the Superman set and more. D...

X-MEN '97: "Tolerance Is Extinction Part 2"

May 10, 2024 06:00 - 2 hours - 89.6 MB

OK, so Batman can't kill the Joker... but could he lobotomize him? This week we argue about the philosophy of justice and what is too far for a superhero to go. It's tied deeply into the episode, as Magneto decides to say eff you to humanity and Bastion is perhaps getting away with mass murder.  Plus: Ralph Ineson is Galactus! This is great casting. And we talk about the first look at the new Superman costume and much, much more. 

X-MEN '97: "Tolerance Is Extinction Part 1"

May 03, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 73.5 MB

Derek says nobody reads these. Is he right? Let's find out!  This week: how is it possible that the follow-up series to a mediocre nostalgia bait 90s cartoon is the best X-Men adaptation ever? It's nuts! This first part of a three parter is the kind of stuff most shows hold for season finales! Meanwhile: who is Paul Walker Hauser playing in Fantastic Four? And was 2019 actually forty years ago? Come join our Patreon!

X-MEN '97: "Bright Eyes"

April 26, 2024 19:00 - 2 hours - 87.4 MB

Gambit is dead. Real dead! Getting buried and everything. And Rogue is on a rampage - can Captain America stop her? Are Jubilee and Sunspot in their own TV show? And why did the X-Men wait a whole week before going to Genosha? All this and more on the latest X-Men '97! Also: is Zack Snyder in his Kevin Smith era? And is it surprising that two middle aged white nerds would find themselves sidetracked with Kevin Smith talk for far too long? Thanks for listening! Join the Patreon to support t...

X-MEN '97: "Lifedeath Part 2"

April 19, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 69.2 MB

To space, my X-Men! We finally catch up with Professor X, who has been walking around and boning down in the Shi'ar Imperium. Meanwhile, Storm has to confront her greatest fears to save Forge, even though it's his fault she has no powers. Do you like X-Men cosmic stories? If so, you're in luck. If not, you're Derek. And there's Marvel news, including a Captain America: Brave New World toy leak that may or may not reflect the actual film. Plus: what does that asterisk mean in the Thunderbol...

X-MEN '97: "Remember It"

April 12, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 71.8 MB

This week things go nuts! This is the big episode towards which everything has been building, and it has everything you want in an X-Men story: romance! betrayal! intrigue! violence! tragedy! It's got it all! Plus: a bunch of news from CinemaCon. What's up with the asterisk in the Thunderbolts title? How about that new Superman logo? And what's up with Beau DeMayo? Double plus: Derek has a theory that ruins my whole day! Thanks for listening! See you next week as we discover the ramificat...

X-MEN '97: "Motendo/Lifedeath Part 1"

April 05, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 73.9 MB

This week: can we trust James Gunn? Does anyone want a movie where Superman fights Evil Superman? And will the Human Torch really have those little lines on him when he flames on? Plus: I have an amazing experience at the bank. It's better than it sounds.  On X-Men '97: Jubilee gets sucked into a video game by Mojo while Storm chills out at Forge's cabin... but something just ain't right. Was this a waste of an episode? You'll have to listen to find out what we think! Thanks for listening. 

X-MEN '97: "Fire Made Flesh"

March 29, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 65.6 MB

This week the X-Men cartoon sorta adapts the crossover event Inferno, and jams it all into about 40 minutes. Is it too rushed? Yes. Does it still mostly rule? Yes. In the news segment we have thoughts about Spider-Man 4 and the rumored directors. Plus: we talk more about bringing an It's Always Sunny attitude to Fantastic Four.  Thanks for listening and see you next week!

X-MEN '97: "To Me, My X-Men" & "Mutant Liberation Begins"

March 25, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 76 MB

First up, a programming note: we will be swapping the days we release our podcasts. We are going to release Marvelvision on Fridays and move The Bad Batch to Mondays. So expect another episode of Marvelvision this week.  On this episode: wait, the new X-Men cartoon is good? Like, really good? How did this happen? What miracle has occurred?  And in the intro: some small news, and I tried smelling salts. Wowza. They're not just in old movies, they're real, and they pack a punch.  Thanks for...

News Update

March 18, 2024 18:00 - 1 hour - 49.4 MB

As we get ready for X-Men 97 starting next week we take an episode to just catch up with the news, including the latest on Blade, Eternals sequels and the eternal production of Thunderbolts. Plus: they finished Wonder Man?!? Next week it's all nostalgia all the time as the continuation of the 90s X-Men cartoon hits Disney+. We'll be covering the first two episodes. See you there!

Special Oscars Recap Episode!

March 11, 2024 06:00 - 1 hour - 54.6 MB

This week we're talking about the 96th annual Academy Awards, the first Oscars Derek has watched in over a decade! And he picked a good one to return to, as the night had surprisingly deserving winners, big fun moments and also Godzilla.  Find out our thoughts on who deserved what they won and which losers should have been winners. Hear us discuss "I'm Just Ken" and also get into an argument about celluloid! This one has it all.  By the way, join our Patreon at the $5 or above level to get...

Marvelvision: News & THE MARVELS

March 04, 2024 21:00 - 3 hours - 141 MB

This week we're doing something a little different. We're pulling an episode of Watch Men out from behind the paywall and letting you get a listen to it - free! The episode is about The Marvels, a much-maligned MCU film that we quite liked and that is now on Disney+ and finally picking up some appreciation. What better time to get this back in front of your ear canals? But don't worry - if you've already heard this we have a solid hours of news and putzing around, so you've got plenty to li...

DETECTIVE COMICS #38: First Appearance of Robin the Boy Wonder!

February 19, 2024 22:00 - 2 hours - 101 MB

The Dynamic Duo is born... and right off the bat there's something a little odd about their relationship. Now, we're not taking Wertham's side on this one but it is really strange for a rich guy to simply abscond with a recently orphaned little boy.  It's Detective Comics #38, the first appearance of Robin the Boy Wonder, the multi-murdering sidekick to the Dark Knight Detective. And there are backup stories galore, a few of which contain racism! Before that: the news! The Fantastic Four a...

CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS #1: First Appearance of Captain America!

February 12, 2024 21:00 - 2 hours - 96.4 MB

When Captain America throws his mighty shield.... well, he's not throwing his shield yet, but he's already got a 9 year old sidekick who sleeps in bed with him? Yes, this is just one of the revelations coming out of Captain America Comics #1, where Joe Simon and Jack Kirby introduce the Star-Spangled Avenger and his nemesis The Red Skull.  And there are backup stories, and get this - they're first appearances of major Marvel mythological concepts as well! Pretty impressive for 1941. Next w...

THE FLASH #110: First Appearance of Kid Flash!

February 05, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 67.4 MB

Comics are for kids. We all know that. But don't kids deserve a little bit more respect? This is the question that hangs over the two stories in The Flash #110, which sees the introduction of Wally West, aka Kid Flash, aka a future Flash.  Before we get to the origin of this scarlet speedster we got ourselves some news, including pondering about whether they'll keep Israeli superhero Sabra in the new Captain America, which seems like it's going to do a complete reshoot in the coming months....

JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #83: First Appearance of the Mighty Thor!

January 29, 2024 19:00 - 1 hour - 63.3 MB

“Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.” We all know the Mighty Thor today, thanks to the MCU and of course his appearance with the Incredible Hulk on TV, but how did he start? The latest entry in our Secret Origins series has shown us that many of the most famous comic book characters were born with their fundamental DNA intact. Not so much with the Mighty Thor.  In fact, in his first appearance Thor is visually recognizable... but that's about it! ...

ECHO Episodes 4&5

January 22, 2024 20:00 - 2 hours - 87.8 MB

The finale of Echo is here, and the show was better than we expected - but how much better? We do not agree on this particular point, but we do find ourselves in agreement on a lot of elements that we actually did like quite a bit. And then there is the news - a lot going on in the world of comic book movies, including the groundbreaking news that Superman will have a sense of humor in the upcoming James Gunn film, and if you think that sent a certain segment of fandom into a rage spiral.....

ECHO Episodes 1, 2 & 3

January 15, 2024 20:00 - 2 hours - 92.2 MB

This week I finally come clean about my serious case of John Krasinski Derangement Syndrome,  and we speculate about Pedro Pascal's schedule. Then it's on to the first three episodes of Echo, which showed up on Disney+ and Hulu this week. The whole series was released at once, but we're splitting it up because it would be a very, very long episode indeed if we did it all.  The big takeaway? Neither of us hated this show the way we expected we would. Maybe the most shocking thing - we both a...

Special Q&A Episode

January 09, 2024 21:00 - 1 hour - 72.5 MB

You asked, we answer. This week we interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you a special Q&A episode. We asked your for your questions and you came through - so much so that we couldn't answer everyone! The questions range from the silly to the sublime, and if you listen you can find out why I would marry the Red Skull, who Derek's least favorite Flash is and whether we ever intend to do more podcasts on different subjects. Next week we will be talking about the first two or ...

WHAT IF...? Season 2

January 01, 2024 23:00 - 2 hours - 86.6 MB

This week we are talking about all the episodes of What If...? season two all at once. That's partially because Disney+ dropped em one day after another and partially because I had COVID and we couldn't do this in two parts like we intended.  Was this a bad season? One of us thinks so! Was this a 'whatever' season with a few good eps and one great episode? One of us thinks so! Is What If...? wasting the entire concept by just doing rehashes and being afraid of killing any characters? Everyb...

ALL-STAR COMICS #8: First Appearance of Wonder Woman!

December 18, 2023 21:00 - 1 hour - 80.8 MB

Trigger warning: someone farts on mic this episode.  And if that's not bad enough, my mic was not set properly for the intro of the episode. But don't worry, the bad sound quality only lasts fifty minutes. We talk about all kinds of news and stuff, and also there's a recorded fart, but it sounds very bad. So if you don't want to suffer through it skip to 50:19.  When we get to All-Star #8 we are faced with a stultifying Justice Society of America book-length epic before diving into Introdu...

The Bad Batch: A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE

December 15, 2023 11:00 - 2 hours - 86.9 MB

A Cinema Sangha Special Presentation! This week we are giving you a free glimpse at one of our other podcasts, The Bad Batch. That's our weekly Star Wars show, and this week we're talking about the new documentary A Disturbance In the Force, about the legendary Star Wars Holiday Special. It's a pretty terrific documentary that gives you a good sense of the context of early Star Wars, of 1970s TV and just how the hell something as truly awful as the Star Wars Holiday Special even came to be...

FANTASTIC FOUR #1: First Appearance of the Fantastic Four!

December 11, 2023 20:00 - 1 hour - 61.6 MB

This week it's a look back at the birth of the Marvel Age of Comics, and it's not completely what you might expect. It's weird, silly and not actually the Marvel Universe as we know it. For one thing, the Fantastic Four debut in a fictional city, not New York! Before that we have some news, and some movie talk - Derek has caught up with Napoleon and The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, while I've been playing Baldur's Gate 3. Find out what we think about these, what we think ab...

DETECTIVE COMICS #27: The First Appearance of Batman!

December 05, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 60.6 MB

Welcome to the debut of Batman... or should we say, The Bat-Man. In Detective Comics #27 Bob Kane and Bill Finger introduced a character who would impact the pop culture of the 20th century in ways nobody could have guessed. Hell, reading this entire comic book it becomes clear nobody would have guessed this stuff would still be around in ten years, let alone 80+ years later.  We attempted to read all of Detective Comics #27, but the length and the general crumminess stymied us! Still, read...

AMAZING FANTASY #15: First Appearance of Spider-Man!

November 27, 2023 18:00 - 1 hour - 71.2 MB

This week we're back to reading comics, and we are continuing our origins project. It's Amazing Fantasy #15, the historic first appearance of Peter Parker, the spectacular Spider-Man! You can find this comic on Marvel Unlimited or for free on the Kindle app; what's nice is that Marvel has reprinted the whole comic, which includes a bunch of frankly terrible back-up stories... which we also read and talk about! How does this tale hold up? Did Stan Lee and Steve Ditko get it right the first ...

ACTION COMICS #1

November 20, 2023 17:00 - 2 hours - 94 MB

While we wait for What If...? to start, we decided to do more comic book readalongs. But we learned a lesson from Secret Wars II - we can't ask you guys to read 9 comics a week. So our interim activity will be reading first appearances of famous characters, and what more famous a character to start with than Superman himself, first appearing in 1938's Action Comics #1. But first: a whole lot of news! Pedro Pascal! We talk about Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (no spoilers)! Monarch: Legacy of Monst...

LOKI: "Glorious Purpose"

November 13, 2023 18:00 - 1 hour - 82 MB

It's the end of Loki... and it's the end of Loki? Big series finale here, with major consequences for the God of Mischief. But does the rest of the season support the finale? Is it possible the last episode of a show can be amazing if the ones before are kind of not great? Find out! Also: we talk a little bit about The Marvels, saving the main discussion for our podcast Watch Men. You can get that by subscribing at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha. Just $5 a month! Somehow that is now the cost ...

LOKI: "Science/Fiction"

November 06, 2023 06:00 - 1 hour - 77.8 MB

Believe it or not this week I'm not complaining. The penultimate episode of Loki season 2 is a lot of fun and has the kind of lovely strangeness that's been missing. It also has the Velvet Underground... and that I complain about, believe it or not.  Plus: hot takes on that big Variety piece about Marvel Studios, and which parts sound kind of like BS. Who is throwing Nia DaCosta under the bus here? And what does it mean when FX are "out of focus?" Next week: the season finale! It's probabl...

LOKI: "Heart of the TVA"

October 30, 2023 22:00 - 1 hour - 71.4 MB

This week's Loki ends on a major cliffhanger, but is the journey to get there worth it? On this episode we try to figure out what the different characters actually want, and what the stakes of the show are - things you would hope the program made clearer! Before that - a revisit of Infinity War and Endgame leads to discussion about why Phase Four feels so different, excitement-wise, from the first three phases. What's different, and what does the future hold? Plus - we finish reading MCU: T...

LOKI: "1893"

October 23, 2023 06:00 - 1 hour - 56.5 MB

What does everybody want in this show? This week we talk about some muddled motivations and some muddled stakes, but do those things mean the episode isn't enjoyable? Not necessarily! Also: we're reading MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios and it's giving me memberberries about the days when I was in the scooping game. Come join the Patreon at www.patreon.com/cinemasangha!

LOKI: "Breaking Brad"

October 17, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 67.9 MB

This week it's a twisterooni, as I am the one nitpicking and Derek is the one defending. However we both agree this episode's cold open was designed to make us feel like we missed a whole episode of the show.  Plus there's news! A bunch of trivia questions whose answers just don't feel right! Plus I reveal the dark reason I won't review the new book MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios (I know one of the authors and he's a really good dude and it would be awkward if I didn't like the book). T...

LOKI: "Ouroboros"

October 09, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 44.4 MB

After years we get the second season of Loki, and it starts off with a bang. This episode also starts off with a bang as I tell a tale from my old drinking days when I tried to get into a fight with someone involved with the production of this episode. Who? You'll have to listen! Also this week: Derek gets to be the one who laughs at a mispronunciation, we remember how much we love Owen Wilson and we wonder if an event at the end of the episode is going to be resolved as obviously as we thi...

SECRET WARS II #9: "God in Man, Man In God!"

October 04, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 65.9 MB

The cosmic conclusion of the nine part Secret Wars II saga is upon us! This week we have only one crossover, an epilogue with the Avengers, and otherwise this whole episode is going to be about baby killing. Yes, you read that right - baby killing is a main component of this final issue of the superhero crossover comic book series.  Did you enjoy Secret Wars II as much as we did? Interested in more comic readalongs? Let us know! Join the Patreon to get into the Discord and join the discussi...

SECRET WARS II #8: "Betrayal!"

September 27, 2023 17:00 - 2 hours - 115 MB

The Beyonder has had enough. This universe, and all of the desire and disconnection he has found here, has driven him to the brink. The only option left to him is to destroy it all so that he can once again be alone. But can Marsha cuck Owen Reese, the Molecule Man, hard enough to save reality? This week's crossovers include some of the best books we've read in this whole little project. In many ways this issue and the best of the crossovers (not so fast, Fantastic Four) represent the ideal...

SECRET WARS II #7: "Charge of the Dark Brigade!"

September 19, 2023 00:00 - 3 hours - 126 MB

The Beyonder has a lot to think about, and this issue that's pretty much all he does - sit and think. But this guy has an impact on the world even when he's just parking his kiester on a rock in the South Pacific, and first he gathers a crowd of followers and then a group of villains, sent by Mephisto.  This episode we talk about how Puma should be the star of a Sony movie, what Peter Parker line makes Derek feel seen and how a lifetime of comic reading can really alter the way you perceive...

SECRET WARS II #6: "Life Rules!"

September 12, 2023 19:00 - 2 hours - 109 MB

The Beyonder has turned away from his despair, and now he wants to help people. But this bugs Captain America and Mister Fantastic who yet again  do nothing about the Beyonder but do continue to threaten him. The Marvel cosmic beings show up in this issue, and something happens that finally gets Molecule Man off the couch.  Plus we have a whole bunch of crossover comics, including a Thor/Power Pack crossover and a Micronauts story that is so wild you just have to read it. Next week's homew...

SECRET WARS II #5: "Despair!"

September 04, 2023 19:00 - 2 hours - 102 MB

This week The Beyonder gets real sad and goes emo with a 13 year old girl, who ends up being a significant recurring character in the X titles! The Avengers pull a Ray Stantz, and Derek wonders if Iman Vellani is scabbing by promoting her new Ms. Marvel comic book.  Next week's Secret Wars II is much more crossover heavy than some of our recent issues, and one of the comics you need to read is simply unavailable anywhere. With that in mind I have included a link where you can find the issue...

SECRET WARS II #4: "Love Is The Answer"

August 28, 2023 18:00 - 3 hours - 131 MB

The Beyonder goes to pound town this issue as he seeks to understand this crazy little thing called love. What is love and desire? And can he make Dazzler love him? This week sees us having a big argument about Dune Part II moving and the Oscars in general, as well as, believe it or not, a big argument about the existential philosophy of an issue of Rom: Spaceknight.  Next week the Beyonder gets sad! And we have a handful of crossovers for homework. Your reading for next week: Secret Wars I...

SECRET WARS II #3: "This World Is Mine"

August 19, 2023 21:00 - 2 hours - 85.2 MB

This week The Beyonder takes over the whole world - but can that satisfy him? We also have a mixed bag of crossover comics; there's Derek's favorite ever issue of The Incredible Hulk and there's an issue of Daredevil that saw Denny O'Neil quit the book. It's a mess, but is it purposefully recalling the temptation of Christ in the desert? Next week: the Beyonder tries to understand love. We have some crossover action again, but be aware: there is one crossover comic that is hard to find. It'...

SECRET WARS II #2: "I'll Take Manhattan!"

August 11, 2023 18:00 - 1 hour - 80.3 MB

When is a crossover not a crossover? When it happens in only one panel of the comic book in question, I'd say.  This week we follow the Beyonder to New York City, where he bumbles around and learns to poop. Then we get two fantastic Spider-Man crossover comics and a Fantastic Four issue that is, crossover or not, just kind of bad.  Next week: the Beyonder takes over the world! Here's your homework: Secret Wars II #3 Avengers #260 Daredevil #223 The Incredible Hulk #312

SECRET WARS II #1: "Earthfall"

August 05, 2023 01:00 - 2 hours - 100 MB

This week we're doing a big pivot. Now that Secret Invasion has finished we have decided to not return to X-Men: The Animated Series just yet. Instead we're going to spend the next few weeks reading Secret Wars II and all of the associate crossovers. Yes, it's a trip back to 1985 to talk about the granddaddy of all crossover event series. Secret Wars II is weird and shaggy and an awful lot of fun, even if it isn't exactly one of the great comic book storylines. This week we cover: Secret ...

SECRET INVASION: "Home"

July 28, 2023 18:00 - 1 hour - 69.4 MB

Well that's a let down.  The Secret Invasion series wraps up with a whimper, and it didn't have to be this way. There is stuff that happens in this episode that, had it happened in episode three, would have made this series an all-timer.  After this episode the hierarchy of power in the MCU is changed, but will anyone care or ever reference it? Next week we begin a new project here: a weekly read-along of Secret Wars II, the 1985 comic book miniseries and all of the tie-in comics. That's n...

SECRET INVASION: "Harvest"

July 21, 2023 23:00 - 1 hour - 60.1 MB

Things start coming to a head this week on Secret Invasion, but they also kind of stop making sense.
