Marvel Zombie?

Have you ever tried to read every issue of the Marvel Universe only to get to 1968 and swear off cheesy dialogue forever? This is your answer. Read every issue of Marvel Comics that you need to form a solid continuity foundation and appreciate the comics that are coming out today. Plus have a really good time laughing at these guys.

Top comic show!

I really like the gimmick of this podcast as the stars go through years in the history of Marvel comics! It’s a fun ride through the backlog of one of my favorite things, and the introduction of a new comic reader being along for the ride let’s you view it all through new eyes. Great stuff!

MMY Rocks!

The premise of this podcast, Dave is the experienced comics guru and Zack is the newbie diving in, using Marvel Unlimited to review the Marvel universe, year by year, is exquisitely executed! The boys have developed a great rapport, friendly and jovial, even when disagreeing, e.g. Zach refuses to acknowledge the greatness of Stiltman. We’re only in 1983, so you’ve got plenty of time to join and enjoy! Also, if you check them out on Patreon and sponsor at a $5/month level (I think), you get to join the Slack, which is filled with the wittiest comics fan chat on the inter webs. The addition of super fan Charlotte to the hosts has added new spark to conversations, which were already top-notch!
