  264 - Out of Alcatraz + Ultimates #11

  Aug 17, 202650 min

  It's time for some modern crime stuff that's based on a true story and also totally made up. It's Christopher Cantwell and Tyler Crook's Out of Alcatraz! Based on the infamous escape from 1962, it follows the story of the 3 mysterious inmates who were never found again. Interesting stuff! Then we move onto Ultimates #11 which gave us a lot to talk about! Like why did the bad guy spend half the issue monologuing about his plan and then change it? Next Time: We investigate Secret Wars (2015) by reading WeirdWorld instead!

  263 - Archie Meets Batman '66

  Jul 15, 202647 min

  We decided it's time to try another comic book crossover and we think we may have finally picked a good one for once: Archie Meets Batman 66' by Jeff Parker and Michael Moreci. It's campy, it's old timey, and it knows it's dumb as hell, so let's go for it. Plus the art by Dan Parent and the covers by Mike Allred are perfectly primed to make middle-aged nerds weep. Then we read Ultimates 10, which unfortunately also made us weep. Next Time: Out of Alcatraz by Christopher Cantwell & Tyler Crook

  262 - Marville + Ultimates #9

  Jun 4, 20261h 5m

  This might be it. The worst comic we've ever read. Marville, a miniseries from 2002 written by Marvel's Editor in Chief at the time, Bill Jemas. It's a fever dream of a comic that starts as a Smallville parody, but it becomes more. Oh it becomes so much more! Please join us for this bizarre piece of garbage. Then we keep going with Ultimates in issue #9, where there's a fairly inconsequential fight! Next Time: Archie Meets Batman '66!

  261 - Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow + Ultimates #8

  Apr 15, 20261h 9m

  We've never read a Supergirl comic and it's time to change that! We're taking a look at Tom King & Bilquis Evely's 8-issue miniseries, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which also serves as the inspiration behind her new movie. But is it secretly a Coen Brothers movie in disguise??? Then we're continuing The Ultimates with issue #8 where we meet some new cast members! Next Time: We celebrate April Fool's Day with Marvel's Smallville parody, Marville (2002)!

  260 - Avengers Academy + Ultimates #7

  Mar 11, 20261h 17m

  It's The Heroic Age! All the Marvel heroes are friends again and there are no villains! Or something like that, and the Avengers want to keep it that way. So they're training up a team of brand new recruits in Avengers Academy while also lying to them. Perfect. We read an unprecedented NINE issues of this series, all so we get to Taskmaster and talk about him. Then we continued Ultimates with #7, and it definitely had some pictures in it. Next Time - Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow
