Ultimate Adventures #1-6/Josh Kang is...The Fly!

The Ultimate Comics Podcast ·

2025/05/01

The guys take a weird turn into Ultimate Adventures! This mini-series honestly has a more interesting behind-the-scenes story than the actual plot of the comic. Josh and Nabeel don't think it's the worst thing in the world, but it certainly feels out of place in Ultimate Marvel. An interesting commentary on Batman and Robin, an insanely goofy villain, and some overly quippy dialogue keep the guys talking. Plus: Josh shares his method for writing fan-fiction, and Nabeel keeps confusing owls with

2025/04/17

A new era of Ultimate X-Men! Josh and Nabeel cover the first arc of Ultimate X-Men by Brian Michael Bendis and David Finch (Spoiler: they love it!) Guest stars galore, in this Wolverine-centric comic. Spider-Man! Daredevil! Black Widow! It honestly feels more like a Spider-Man or Marvel Team-Up comic than an X-Men comic at times! The guys love how this issue works to redeem Ultimate Wolverine while being a fun, fast-paced action thriller. Plus: The guys discuss how horrible Wolverine must smell for

The Ultimate Comics Podcast ·

2025/04/10

The boys are finally back to Ultimate Spider-Man! After a long streak of X-Men-related content, Josh and Nabeel are relieved to be back to good ol' Spidey.

Of course, just when you think you've got a break, the X-Men make a guest appearance! Plus: plenty of witty repartee with our very own Joshua J. Kang!

The guys talk about it all: the characters, the stories, the artwork, the writing, you name it. The boys get into the good, the bad, and the very weird. Josh and Nabeel even pull up an old interview from Mark Millar himself, talking about his approach to Ultimate X-Men! A great catch-up episode for both longtime and new listeners!

Ultimate X-Men #27-33/Wolverine's Questionable Rizz

The Ultimate Comics Podcast ·

2025/03/27

The end of an era! Josh and Nabeel finish up the Mark Millar/Adam Kubert run on Ultimate X-Men with "Return of the King"! The guys have so much to talk about with these issues, including the action-packed story, the great character moments, and a moderately unsettling ending. Very fun comics discussed by some very fun hosts! Plus: Nabeel antagonizes Cyclops fans (even though he is one)!

Ultimate War #1-4/Ninja Assassin Orthodox Jews

The Ultimate Comics Podcast ·

2025/03/20

It's the first major Ultimate Marvel crossover! Josh and Nabeel dive into a clash between The Ultimates and The X-Men! Magneto's return has put The Ultimates on his trail, with The X-Men caught in the middle!

Ultimate X-Men #21-26/The Meat, The Sauce, No Bread

The Ultimate Comics Podcast ·

2025/03/13

Josh and Nabeel are back into Ultimate X-Men! The guys are so happy to be covering something they enjoy again (for the most part). Josh gives these issues a solid B-, since the depiction of Wolverine is still pretty nasty. In these issues, we also get the introduction of Kitty Pryde, a new take on the Dark Phoenix Saga, a big moment for Iceman, Beast getting catfished, and much, much more! It's fun times all around (with the occasional tangent about the east coast vs. west coast)!

Ultimate Iron Man II #1-5/Soggy Carrots

The Ultimate Comics Podcast ·

2025/03/06

Josh and Nabeel finish the fight with Ultimate Iron Man II (The Search for More Money)! These issues are better than the first series, but that's not really saying much. Nabeel is over it and Josh has so many questions. At the very least, Pasqual Ferry's art is gorgeous, there's more action, more corporate intrigue and 1000% more Tony Stark getting blown to smithereens! Plus: A special shout-out to our Italian listeners!

Ultimate Iron Man #1-5/Take Him to the Bathroom

The Ultimate Comics Podcast ·

2025/02/27

Josh and Nabeel tackle possibly their weirdest Ultimate comics so far: Ultimate Iron Man! The series so controversial it was retconned out of Ultimate Marvel canon entirely! The guys are bewildered by this bizarre mini-series, ultimately asking themselves: who let this happen? Interesting ideas are introduced, yet so many unnecessary changes are made to Iron Man for this series to work. Plus: Josh explains gabagool to Nabeel!

2025/02/20

It's the Ultimate Venom Saga! Friend of the pod India Miraglia joins the guys to discuss a major arc in Ultimate Spider-Man! The gang loves these issues, especially for how they connect to the broader Ultimate Universe.

Bonus: Nabeel and Josh might have settled the MJ vs. Gwen debate, once and for all (maybe)!

The guys keep rolling along with Ultimate Spider-Man! But first, they dig into the oversized Ultimate Spider-Man Super Special, the conclusion to Ultimate Marvel Team-Up! They're not huge fans of this special, but generally agree that it features some incredible artists. In the main series, things get intense! Josh and Nabeel love these issues, despite getting caught in their recurring MJ vs. Gwen war. Plus, the shocking death of a major character! Fun stuff all-around!

CONTENT WARNING: This episode briefly touches on self-harm and suicide as it pertains to the story. The boys continue with Ultimate Spider-Man! Things get more intense than ever, as Josh and Nabeel cover the return of the Green Goblin! These issues have it all: high stakes, brutal fight scenes, and more drama than you can spin a web at! The guys rave about these issues, discuss obscure villains, and debate whether or not the Goblin Formula is stronger than the Super-Soldier Serum! Plus: special

A very special episode! Friend of the pod Annika Falconer joins Josh and Nabeel to talk about The Ultimates #1-6! This is Annika's first exposure to the Avengers, so the guys get her thoughts on the characters, the political themes, and the overall story of this modern take on Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Time to put the accessibility of Ultimate Marvel to the test! Josh also struggles to remember movie titles and alienates fans of Grey's Anatomy.

Ultimate X-Men #7-12/Unleash the Dinosaurs

The Ultimate Comics Podcast ·

2025/01/09

Josh and Nabeel get back into Ultimate X-Men! Nabeel thinks the second story arc is a big step up, but Josh isn't too impressed. The guys also dive into some new characters (Nightcrawler!), Ultimate Wolverine's character development, the role of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Ultimate Marvel, and more! And yeah, Josh mentions cannibalism. Again. *Sigh*
