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 ..read more

For decades, scholars have wondered about Darkhawk. Who is he? Are his books any good? Can he introduce me to Wolverine? How good, exactly, was the Kyle Higgins-penned miniseries from a few years back. We aim to resolve these disputes today. Also: dads. What are they? Is Reed Richards a good one? Why not, exactly? Fantastic Four: Life Story paints a compelling picture of Marvel’s first family that had us talking for HOURS.  This podcast is edited for brevity. You’re welcome ..read more
