Justice League International | Introduction
April 01, 2020 07:00 - 9 minutes - 9.04 MBWe begin our look at the 1980s hit JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL. Originally simply JUSTICE LEAGUE, this was an incarnation of DC's super team that featured lots of ... not exactly A-list superheroes. Oberon, anyone? Doctor Light? Blue Beetle? Third most important Green Lantern Guy Gardner? We got 'em! But this series worked and the brothers Hines loved it and here we are. -- SHOW INFORMATION Twitter: @ScrewItComics Instagram: @ScrewItComics Email: [email protected] Subscribe: Appl...

The Incredible Hulk #6 | The Metal Master!
February 26, 2020 08:00 - 53 minutes - 48.7 MBThe Metal Master is a villain so powerful, so fascinating -- that we're pretty sure he's never heard from again after this issue.

February 12, 2020 08:00 - 38 minutes - 35.1 MBLots more of the Hulk flying-not-flying, Rick being a scientific genius, a new set of rules for Banner turning into the Hulk, lotsa gamma rays, a few rampages, a few torn-up houses and a space gladiator wearing shorts!

The Incredible Hulk #3 | A Completely Bonkers Story
February 05, 2020 08:00 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MBTruly one of the most bonkers stories Will and Kevin have ever read. Hulk flies, but doesn't, gets mind controlled, gets trapped in space for the third time in three issues, rampages several times, and probably murders the most active circus of all time -- in 22 pages! YES HULK YES! -- SHOW INFORMATION Twitter: @ScrewItComics Instagram: @ScrewItComics Email: [email protected] Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Subscribe: Spotify

Watchmen: Issue #1
November 27, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 59.1 MBKevin and Will go over the first issue of legendary comic book series Watchmen. This is unrelated to the rest of this season, and just because the new HBO television series gives us an excuse to go over one of our favorite comic series of all time.

The Fantastic Four: A Wrap-Up on The Kirby Era
November 20, 2019 08:00 - 53 minutes - 49 MBWe look back on the Kirby era. These 102 issues have been at different times: perfection, wildly brilliant, recklessly inventive, silly, downright dumb, out of date, ahead of its time -- but never, ever, ever boring. What did we learn on this re-read? And what next for the podcast? ALSO: We go over the "lost" Kirby FF issue, and the recent FF history recap comic Grand Design! -- SHOW INFORMATION Twitter: @ScrewItComics Instagram: @ScrewItComics Email: [email protected] Subscribe: ...

November 06, 2019 08:00 - 58 minutes - 53.6 MBWe are reaching the end of Jack Kirby's FF issues, and the stories are maybe getting crazier? But still good. We've got a gangster planet that has alien gladiators, a witch babysitter for newly-named Franklin Richards, and a guy with a monocle tries a dumb plan which does not work! -- SHOW INFORMATION Twitter: @ScrewItComics Instagram: @ScrewItComics Email: [email protected] Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Subscribe: Spotify

Galactus Has Shorts | The Fantastic Four #68-77
October 09, 2019 07:00 - 1 hour - 71.5 MBJack Kirby is starting his (slight) dip in story quality. Fewer new characters. Plots stretched over a couple of issues with little development.

September 26, 2019 07:00 - 1 hour - 65.5 MBPast the peak, we move into some issues that we deem as "not bad!" Meaning, they don't change the very landscape of the Marvel Universe, but they are darn good Jack Kirby stories.

The long-winded, big-helmet-wearing, pantsless God-like villain known as Galactus shows up on Earth in order to... eat it for dinner. Along with him comes the Silver Surfer, and in battling him the FF meet one of the most powerful and popular villains in all of Marvel comics!

August 07, 2019 07:00 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBKevin and Will analyze the "getting good" run, including a deep dive on the much-underdeveloped character of the group: Sue Storm aka The Invisible Girl. Jack and Stan seemed determined to relegate her to "needing to be rescued" status. But was there something progressive by just having romantic interest part of the team at all? And was it revolutionary to see a couple get engaged, then married, then have a baby? All this and much more! -- SHOW INFORMATION Twitter: @ScrewItComics Instagr...

July 17, 2019 07:00 - 1 hour - 65 MBKevin and Will analyze the bad issues. You can still see the elements that will make this series great. Ben's character is settling into place. The artwork remains strong (although the inking gets worse). The huge number of ideas is still impressive.

Review: Spider-Man Video Game (2018)
January 01, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBA special episode! After swearing they would never play the PS4 Spider-Man game, both Kevin and Will bought PS4 systems and games and got completely obsessed with it! They loved every bit of it, and in this episode get into why! The characters, the mechanics, the rendering of Manhattan, the surprises in the story!
Review: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
December 20, 2018 20:40 - 1 hour - 93.5 MBWe re-activate this podcast to discuss the awesome new movie: “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” Your co-hosts Kevin and Will LOVED it, but of course we also have enough thoughts that we talk for over an hour about. Which version of Miles Morales do we get? What do we think of our two different Peter Parkers? How about the crazily good and varied art styles? Isn’t it so funny and also moving? Holy crap we loved it!
Eulogy: Stan Lee (1922 - 2018)
November 13, 2018 19:02 - 1 hour - 94.1 MBStan Lee, the co-creator of Spider-Man, as well as the architect of the Marvel Universe, passed away this weekend. Kevin and Will give a eulogy. They talk about Stan’s personality, his salesmanship, his focus on the reader, his love of words, his respect for good stories. They get into a bit of the darker stuff too -- issues of giving credit, bad business deals, and the poorly written female characters. But overall, we loved and revered Stan, and we miss him already.
