A motley band of amateur bartenders, avid comic book readers, and critics. Join us each week we ramble and discuss a different Graphic Novel, Trade Paper Back, or Comicbook and attempt a cocktail pairing (cause pairing chocolates and wine doesn’t have enough superheroes involved).

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
Next week Miles Morales IS the new Spider-Man! What's the secret behind his powers, and how will he master them? What new and familiar enemies will rise to challenge this all-new Spider-Man? And will Miles live up to Peter Parker's legacy?

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.

Q: What if overcoming your fears, mastering any skill, learning any art was as simple as turning a key? A: It could cost you your life—especially if Dodge, the malevolent creature who is the Locke family's sworn enemy, gets his hands on it.

Between the supercomputer wired into his brain and the enhancements saturating his body, the living weapon known as Midnighter doesn’t face a lot of real challenges to his uncanny combat skills. Lucky for him, he enjoys beating the tar out of low-level bad guys as much as the high-end ones—and since his recent breakup with his first love (and fellow superhuman) Apollo, he’s had plenty of chances to engage in his unique brand of physical therapy. This week we’re reading Midnighter Vol 1 - Out.
