Ep 70 - Maximum Carnage
Monday Aug 14, 2017
Monday Aug 14, 2017
In this weeks episode. Carnage, the spawn of Venom, has assembled an army of Spider-Man's criminally insane adversaries to spread his message of hostility, chaos and wholesale slaughter: Carrion, Demogoblin, Shriek and the Spider-Man Doppelganger! Outmanned and overpowered, the wall-crawler must recruit his own band of super-beings to combat the rising tide of evil. We’re reading Maximum Carnage.
Prepare yourself for the most shocking Spider-Man story you will ever read! Young Peter Parker has led a heroic life, and tried to live by the simple and powerful philosophy that with great power comes great responsibility - but will that philosophy be enough to save him from the horror that awaits him here? This is easily the most important story in ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN history - and maybe the most important story in the Ultimate Universe. Who better to illustrate it than Ultimate Spider-Man legend Mark Bagley, making his mighty Marvel return in The Death of Spiderman

Monday Aug 07, 2017
Ok, so lets be clear about this. We’re a big ol mess in this episode. Forgive us, but it was the first time we were all in a room together to record. We had an amazing time, hopefully listening to us will be fun too.
Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson are getting married! But Kraven the Hunter is going to make sure the wall-crawler ends up six feet under... literally! It begins with an all-time classic encounter with Wolverine that changes Spidey's life forever, and leads to the death of one of his best friends! In the wake of tragedy, Peter pops the question - but the honeymoon will be short-lived, as Kraven goes to extreme lengths to prove himself better than his greatest foe! The Hunter will learn that it's one thing to defeat Spider-Man - but quite another to expect him to stay down! This month we are spotlighting Spider-man.
Next week we continue our month long spotlight on Spider-man, with Maximum Carnage. Carnage, the spawn of Venom, has assembled an army of Spider-Man's criminally insane adversaries to spread his message of hostility, chaos and wholesale slaughter: Carrion, Demogoblin, Shriek and the Spider-Man Doppelganger! Outmanned and overpowered, the wall-crawler must recruit his own band of super-beings to combat the rising tide of evil.

Episode 19 - X-Men vs The Avengers (1987)
Monday Aug 22, 2016
Monday Aug 22, 2016
Its second tier hero madness with 1987s The X-Men vs. The Avengers. With so much fighting, drama, and inaccurate international law, you’ll think its professional wrestling.
Todd was attempting to join us from the Nevada Desert. Sadly it seems he was taken prisoner by robot overlords. Hopefully a worm hole will open up next week to let him join us again.
We are not sure what book we will be reading next week. We will announce on our social media as soon as we know.
