MCMF MCMFpod

Ever since the infamous 2007 story One More Day, comics fans have posited the question of if Marvel Comics hates your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, but is that really the case? Come along with Marcus as he gets to the heart of the issue on the fourth edition of Splash Pages.

To celebrate fifty episodes of MCMF, Alex joins the show to talk with Marcus about Spider-Girl! Debuting in What If #105, this title stars May "Mayday" Parker, daughter of Spider-Man in her own adventures, juggling home, school, her new powers and a father who's scared to death of the responsibility that comes with them.

For the 49th episode of MCMF, Marcus and Jessie spend some time with Jennifer Walters a.k.a the Sensational She-Hulk! This five issue story from the team of Rainbow Rowell, Andres Genolet and Joe Quinones features the Jade Giantess balancing her new, tricky relationship with former Avengers teammate Jack of Hearts with her day job as a lawyer to the super-abled, as well as pursuing a mysterious thief who seems to take a special interest in her.

Chloe returns to finally talk at length about her love of Venom, as she makes Marcus experience THE HUNGER. Released in 1996, this miniseries follows Eddie Brock as his symbiotic other half's hunger for human brains grows stronger and threatens their partnership forever.

Five years ago, DC published a story in which fan favorite character Dick Grayson was shot in the head. The ensuing two years of Nightwing stories are among some of the most reviled in comics history. Join Marcus and find out exactly what made these 26 issues feel like a ride that would never end.

On episode 47 of MCMF, Chloe returns to talk with Marcus about THE DARK PHOENIX SAGA! Released in 1980, this story by legendary comics duo Chris Claremont and John Byrne is one of the most famous in comics history, following the corruption and eventual fall of Jean Grey, also known as Phoenix of the X-Men. It is also notable for introducing Kitty Pryde and Emma Frost, both of whom become major players in the X-Men franchise and eventually the Marvel Universe at large.
