Hype is my Superpower

Episode 73: Medium-Sized Reign of X Podcast #4

The best thing in in current-day Marvel continues. New titles Way of X and X-Corp kick off by rocking our feeble little bodies, while Cable reaches a satisfying conclusion for a perfectly adequate book in our reading for this episode, Reign of X vols 11 and 12.

Episode 72: What the #%*@ is a sheep?

Will returns from his cruise with theological concerns, and having read a giant heap of comics: Ghost Rider: Return of Blaze, Black Panther vol 1: The Long Shadow, Avengers Forever vol 1: The Lords of Earthly Vengeance, Captain America/Iron Man: The Armor and the Shield, Amazing Spider-Man: Beyond vol 4, Black Widow by Kelly Thompson vol 3: Die by the Blade, Miles Morales vol 7: Beyond, Hawkeye: Kate Bishop, Ms. Marvel: Beyond the Limit, X-Men Legends vol 2. Steve reads, uh, X-Man #51-55.

Episode 71: Journey to the 3rd through 8th Cosmoses

What's bigger than the Multiverse? Defenders books. Will reads Amazing Spider-Man: Beyond vol 3 and Defenders: There Are No Rules. Steve reads Wolverine & Punisher: Revelation and X-Force vol 1 #91-93.

Episode 70: The future of the MCU, feat. Matthew Fox & Paul Hoppe of Superhero Ethics

We changed it up a bit this episode! No comics — instead, we brought in our good friends Matthew Fox and Paul Hoppe from the excellent podcast Superhero Ethics to chat about everyone's favorite Cinematic Universe (hint: it's the Marvel one). Where is it going from here? What are the problems? What are the opportunities? You're not gonna want to miss this one!

Episode 69: Nice

How are Will and Steve such good friends despite being about as different as two people with the same childhood could be? Those stories plus, Will shares the scoop on Venom by Al Ewing & Ram V vol 1: Recursion, Captain Marvel vol 7: Last of the Marvels, and Phoenix Song: Echo. Meanwhile, Steve barely survives Magneto Rex and X-Men Unlimited vol 1 #23-24.

Episode 68: We Will All Become Soup

Utopia is where we all go splat. This week Will got his fix of magically-induced body horror with Savage Avengers Vol. 5: The Defilement of All Things by the Cannibal-Sorcerer Kulan Gath, Darkhold, Fantastic Four by Dan Slott vol 9: Eternal Flame, and Ka-Zar: Lord of the Savage Land. Steve read the overwhelmingly Alan Davis-y Uncanny X-Men vol 1 #368-370 and X-Men vol 2 #88-90.

Episode 67: The adamantium has been drinking (not me)

Absurd MCU fancasting, Sandman pleading, and a heaping dose of awesome comics. Will reads Amazing Spider-Man: Beyond vol 2, Extreme Carnage, and Darkhawk: Airborne. Steve reads Cable vol 1 #s 66-70, including the storyline "Sign of the End Times".

Episode 66: The Big Human Soul Short

"This guy's whole business is built on ripping people off, how long can that last?"

Will read Immortal Hulk vol 11: Apocrypha, Kang the Conqueror: Only Myself Left to Conquer, and Moon Knight vol 1: The Midnight Mission. Steve read Peter Parker: Spider-Man vol 1 #4, X-Men/Dr. Doom Annual 1998, Deadpool vol 3 #26-29, and Mutant X vol 1 #7-12.

Episode 65: The Magneto What?

The highs of 2020s Marvel meet the lows of 1999! Will reads Winter Guard, Deadpool: Black, White and Blood, Death of Dr. Strange, and Death of Dr. Strange: Companion, and they're good! Steve reads X-Men: The Magneto War, and WOW it's bad.

Episode 64: Captain America is canonically a hipster

Sorry for yet another delay. We have podcasts for you, all lined up, and I'll be posting two a week until we're up to date.

In this episode, we talked about the legacy of Crash Cars, Spider-Man for the PS4, and a few comic books too. Will read Amazing Spider-Man: Beyond vol 1 and The Marvels vol 1: The War In Siancong (both from 2022). Steve read Gambit vol 3 #1/2 and 1-5, Uncanny X-Men vol 1 #365, X-Men vol 2 #85, and X-Men: Magneto War vol 1: #1.
