    Deadpool Brawls in a Seattle Cemetary

    Secret Defenders #16 (1994)




    It’s a new run of books as we prep for DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE with some early Deadpool content. Here, our favorite Merc with a Mouth joins up with the Secret Defenders - Doctor Strange’s (and eventually Doctor Druid’s) crew of randomly aligned heroes. In this case, it is Luke Cage (neat), Shadowoman (who?) and Doctor Druid (bleh)




    Check us out as we chat about Seattle graveyards, pre-death “your mom” jokes, Spider-Woman’s garage sale, Chris Cornell, reincarnation and zombie teenager superheroes.




    *** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:19:00 ***




    All this plus we rock some introspection over a dual rewatch of X-MEN (2000) and X2! Turns out they are both still pretty great!

    Daredevil Has Some Juicy Thighs

    Daredevil Has Some Juicy Thighs

    Daredevil #164 (1980)




    We’ve reached the end of this Daredevil “Marked For Death” storyline and it doesn’t appear that we’ve gotten anywhere. All we get here is a DD origin story - which is nice - but what does it have to do with him being targeted?




    Anyway, Daredevil shares his life story including tales about his school bully John Cena, how he became a pretzel snob and the time he watched his dad box Morgan Freeman. Also, Ben Urich smokes in a hospital!




    *** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:20:26 ***




    All this plus we share our thoughts on the new trailers for CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD and AGATHA ALL ALONG!

    Incredible Hulk's Stressful Subway Adventure

    Incredible Hulk's Stressful Subway Adventure

    Daredevil #163 (1979)




    The Hulk rolls into town as we carry on with Daredevil not being so much “marked for death” as he is “marked for some really bad publicity” as Ben Urich closes in on his identity. Not only that, but DD has to deal with Bruce Banner spiking his fine china like a football, Foggy telling dirty jokes to priests and disco dudes sweeping up his ex-girlfriends. It will all be well if you just keep your cool on the subway and don’t let Mean Gene Okerlund put out his cigar on your jacket




    *** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:17:14 ***




    All this plus we chat about our general malaise towards celebrity autographs and why you should, SERIAL on NPR and why you shouldn’t harass Tom Atkins.

    Bullseye Shops for a Decent Wig

    Bullseye Shops for a Decent Wig

    Daredevil #161 (1979)




    Daredevil is STILL marked for death and but now he’s gonna do something about it. Bullseye has captured Black Widow and put a Real Doll of her on a rollercoaster track. DD has to avoid a descending restaurant, a knife-throwing Beyonder and a barrage of baseballs to get her back.




    *** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:14:27 ***




    All this plus we discuss brown food in North Hollywood, wallet chains and Donald Pleasance eating spaghetti at an Italian Wendy’s.

    Black Widow Has a Daredevil Statue For Some Reason

    Black Widow Has a Daredevil Statue For Some Reason

    Daredevil #160 (1979)




    We continue on with Daredevil and his “marked for death”-ness as now Black Widow enters the equation. Natasha and her Lionel Richie Daredevil bust are besieged by Bullseye and his hairbrush throwing skills. To get her back, Matt has to hit the streets, grab a towel from the Daily Bugle and do some ballet in a seedy establishment. All this plus awkward cemetery etiquette!




    *** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:17:41 ***




    All this plus we discuss the Lollapalooza documentary on Paramount+ because we are so old.

    Daredevil is MARKED FOR DEATH

    Daredevil is MARKED FOR DEATH

    Daredevil #159 (1979)




    It’s been a minute since we’ve tackled Ol’ Hornhead so let’s check out the DAREDEVIL: MARKED FOR DEATH trade paperback! It is not a “proper” or “official” Daredevil storyline but it does share the same name as a pretty good Steven Segal movie, so that’s cool.




    Join us as we discuss Daredevil hitting some sick tricks with his billy club, vengeful city judges, Frank Miller art and Bullseye breaking necks with life preservers. Also, we offer our deepest condolences to Foggy Nelson’s stomach, the Marvel Universe’s most tragic human organ.




    *** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:18:42 ***




    All this plus we talk about AEW Wrestling in Loveland and our first trip to Red Rocks to see Sarah McLachlan. MIDDLE AGED PEOPLE — DOING THINGS!!!!

The Most Fun Allowed By Law

Jen and Shawn constantly bring the funny as they examine not-very-good comics from all
eras. If you like your comics fun, this is the podcast for you.

Hi there

Another home run of a fun filled show.

Tremayne10 ,

and I thought I knew alot about comics

Shawn and Jen cover everything from the garden-variety Marvel and DC heroes to the lesser knowns and oddball comics. I learned more about some of my favorites and even went out searching for stuff I've never even heard of until I heard it here on WCE. Required listening for anyone who considers themself a real comic book head.
