We continue to slowly make our way through a pair of critically-acclaimed series: The Mighty Thor and The Immortal Hulk. Both arcs today deal with themes of superheroic theology, which excites the heck out of Stephen. But are the stories any good? Let’s rank them and see!

For the holidays, we each picked someone out and gave them a single issue story that we thought they would like/find interesting to discuss. Then, of course, we all met up to talk about them! Happy holidays! See you in 2025!

Days of Future Daredevil

Make Mine Manga! ·

2024/12/16

After a 2014 publication revealed some significant gaps in our Marvel readings, we plugged a couple of them in a double-feature, including Daredevil: Born Again and Days of Future Past. Bottom line: these are good books. But to find out just how good, you’ll have to listen!

Hulk Has a Ball Peen

2024/12/02

There’s nothing to fear but fear itself, the saying goes. But is Fear Itself even worthy of fear? That’s the question the boys have to face tonight as they read the main event and the tie-in, Hulk Vs. Dracula. Don’t miss it!

Poor Aldo’s taken a sick day, so Stephen and John provide a bit of banter over the best Marvel stories as chosen by Marvel readers… in 2014. How has their selection of best Marvel stories aged? And why is ours better?

Fill-In Issue: The Anime Episode

Make Mine Manga! ·

2024/10/14

When John’s away, Aldo and Stephen will play. And the game they play is “Which Marvel characters would make good guest stars in classic anime?” John’s presence never really deters the weabiness from coming forth, but be warned: this episode is just a LOT of anime.

A Story for You Heathens

Make Mine Manga! ·

2024/09/30

After we continue our journey through Superior Spider-Man, we realize that we’ve hit a real milestone. It’s our 300th story… with a twist so devilish you’d think we were reading One More Day again! Alas, it’s not to be… It’s potentially worse? Really? That can’t be right. After all, how bad could Trouble be?

I’m the Problem, It’s Me (Daredevil)

Make Mine Manga! ·

2024/09/17

It’s a bit of a lighter read this week, but a good one. The boys tackle Johnathan Hickman’s Doom one-shot… well, Hickman was the writer, but the real draw (no pun intended) was Sanford Green’s amazing art. From there, things get EVEN MORE SERIOUS with the grim event comic that is Shadowland! Can Luke Cage and Iron Fist save Daredevil from his darkest demons?

None Shall Marry But Doom!

2024/09/02

We’re feeling a touch romantic this week. No particular reason. We just love you!Three of Marvel’s biggest wedding stories are in the spotlight this week: Reed and Sue, Spidey and MJ, and Northstar and Kyle. How will the books fare on the great Superhuman Registration Podcast list?

Namorita Margarita

2024/08/19

Nostalgia is a strong spice, but does it accent the quality of John’s first comic (the 1992 New Warriors event “The Hero Killers”), or is it simply so much pepper to mask the stink of something rotten?Also… Venom! It’s not the 90s anymore as of Donny Cates’s 2018 run. Why does that relic of the most extreme decade feel better today than it did then?

Fill-In: The Mighty Marvel Musical

Make Mine Manga! ·

2024/07/29

Aldo spent our usual recording time at Evo, so John and Stephen were left to their own devices. So they did what any parents would do when their kid leaves town: brainstorm which Marvel characters would make for the best musicals! Featuring Chris, who is perhaps most famous (at least in our circles) for… being John’s brother-in-law.

I Think I Love the Hulk

Make Mine Manga! ·

2024/07/15

Today’s hero double-feature is… less heroic. First, we’ve got the slightly monstrous Immortal Hulk. Then, we’ve got the wonderful She-Hulk, who’s very heroic in deed, but her personal life is kinda trash. Between the continued descent into horror we see in Bruce Banner and the offbeat comedy and heart in “Single Green Female,” I think we can conclude we’re all Hulk fans now.

The Bible Book of Alpha

Make Mine Manga! ·

2024/07/01

It’s Patriot Season in the US, which means the boys are reading some more Captain America stories. Will the Star-Spangled avenger help our boys overcome their current nationalist-fatigue? Or will they walk away cold?(You get it? Cuz… cuz the stories we read are “Winter in America” and “Cold War”?) (Guess I should have explained that first.)

Read Me a Lotta Peach’s (Comics)

2024/06/18

The X-Men and Captain Britain are, perhaps, the two most convoluted corners of the Marvel universe… and when they intersect in Betsy Braddock, you know there are gonna be shenanigans! Can our curious kiddos keep their craniums above the convoluted current of continuity long enough to dive deep into the Peach Momoko epic that is Demon Wars? Why not give this episode a listen and find out!

Redneck Pied Piper

2024/05/27

Join us for another episode where the boys valiantly strive - and fail - to stay on topic. The topic: Iron Man “Armor Wars” and Ms. Marvel… mutant?The tangents? Hololive, the Flash’s Rogue’s Gallery, and Whoopie cushions. The usual.

2024/05/14

The boys get back to that far, far away galaxy for another crack at Marvel’s Star Wars.First, we check in with that lovable scamp Dr. Aphra to see where her adventures have gone. Then, we tackle an unconventional (manga) adaptation of… possibly the greatest sequel ever? It’s The Empire Strikes Back, and boy does the anime aesthetic add… something.

An odd double-feature this week, covering issues of Mockingbird and Hulk. What do the characters have in common? How about deep psychological themes? Folks are into that sort of introspective storytelling nowadays, right?

Dick Tracy Throws Hands with the Devil

2024/04/01

This week, it’s the Merc with the Mouth facing off against America’s Founding Fathers (and more) in Dead Presidents - a story which feels maybe more timely now than it did when published in… oh. Oh dear. How old we all are now.Let’s try to recapture some of that fleeting youth by also visiting a new spin on a classic character. Can Rise of Ultraman help us feel young again?
