| What if Salem’s Seven and Agatha Harkness were one being (or something)? (from Marvel Comics Ultimate Fantastic Four) | 07 Oct 2024 | 00:42:56 | |
Are you ready for the ULTIMATE episode? Marvel's Ultimate Universe that is! We take our first trip to this polarizing run tackling yet another witchy episode with Agatha Harkness and the Salem Seven! We kick off with the Seven's first appearance in the 616 back in 1977 (appropriately enough) before seeing their reboot in 2008. We wrap up by talking the Salem Seven on Agatha All Along and the legacy of the Ultimate universe on the MCU.
from Ultimate Fantastic Four #54-57 (from Marvel Comics) It may feel like our seventh witchy episode in a row but it's only our third as we tackle the Salem Seven and, of course, Agatha Harkness. We talk the Seven's premiere in Fantastic Four back in 1977 from the legendary team of Len Wein, George Perez and Joe Sinnott - from snake lady to robot man. Then we see their rebirth in 2008 from Mike Carey and Tyler Kirkham in our first look at the Marvel Ultimate Universe. We wrap up by talking about Okwui Okpokwasili and company's appearance on Agatha All Along and how in many ways the Marvel's Ultimate Universe (MUU?) paved the way for the MCU. Reading / Watch List:

| What if Wolverine was gay (and an exile from another world named Howlett who was boyfriends with Hercules)? | 03 Jun 2024 | 01:05:49 | |
Happy Pride Month, Bub! After many X-Men episodes we are finally focusing on the most famous X-Man of all: Wolverine! We romp through many multiverses and meet Howlett, a gay version of Wolverine who is in a relationship with Hercules. We start by covering Wolverine's legendary first appearance in The Incredible Hulk before tackling Howlett's debut across multiple Greg Pak scripted books that see him team up with Cyclops, Dazzler, a teenage Nightcrawler battling many evil Xaviers. Plus we talk if we will see a gay Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie and why we have never seen Howlett again.
from Astonishing X-Men #44+ and X-Treme X-Men #1+ (2011 Marvel Comics) The claws are out as we finally cover the legendary Wolverine and specifically, his gay multiversal counterpart. We give a history of Wolverine on the page and behind the scenes and talk his first appearance opposite The Hulk. Then we jump into a nearly 20 issue run from the mind of Greg Pak and others that sees Howlett, the gay Wolverine, reunite with his partner Hercules, partner with the 616 Cyclops and Dazzler and battle countless evil Xaviers across the old west, steampunk gods, dinosaurs and more. Plus we talk why we want Wolverine to be more of a Spike then an Angel, why Howlett has never returned and what we might expect from Hugh Jackman's last (?) appearance. Reading / Watch List:

| What if Furiosa (of Mad Max) barely appeared in a comic of her own name (but remained the best character ever)? Plus what is Mad Max canon + NO SPOILERS for Furiosa! | 20 May 2024 | 00:57:48 | |
Put the pedal to the metal and join us as we explore the world of Mad Max in comics and on screen! We talk about George Miller's one of a kind film series especially Fury Road before exploring the Mad Max: Fury Road comic book series that shows the origin stories for Nux and Immortan Joe plus prequel stories for Max and our featured character, Furiosa. We also speculate on what other stories we want to see from this universe in light of the new Furiosa film!
from Mad Max Fury Road - Furiosa #1 (DC Comics 2015) Grab your guzzoline and join us as we head to the post-apocalyptic world of George Miller's Mad Max on screen and in film (and video games!). We tell an (abbreviated) history of the franchise before discussing the 4-issue Fury Road comic book series (plus the collected addition only fifth story) that goes deeper into backstories for War Boy Nox, despot villain Immortan Joe, reluctant hero Max and the mysterious Furiosa who is getting her own film! We also speculate on why there haven't been more Mad Max comics and where else we'd like to see this franchise go. Reading / Watch List:

| What if Deadpool was Frank-N-Furter in the Rocky Horror Picture Show (and was also in the Breakfast Club with Peter Parker aka Spider-Man)? | 06 May 2024 | 00:47:57 | |
Jump into the deep end of the (dead) pool with us as we dive into (get it?) the many multiverses of Wade Wilson aka Deadpool! We start by talking Deadpool's history in comics before chatting about Avenging Spider-Man #12-13 from Kevin Shinick and Aaron Kuder that sees the Merc with a Mouth and Spider-Man tangling Hyno Hustler in dreams within dreams including takes on The Breakfast Club and The Rocky Horror Show! We wrap up by talking exceptions for Deadpool & Wolverine and what other parodies we want to see Wade take on.
from Avenging Spider-Man #12-13 (Marvel Comics 2012) This one is a silly one! As we await the release of Deadpool and Wolverine, we return to Deadpool for the second time (and the first time in three years) to talk his origin story, his connections to Harley Quinn, his presence at Comic Con, why he is a gateway character for teens and so much more. We also see Deadpool become both Judd Nelson and Tim Curry in some wacky dream sequences as Deadpool tangles with Spider-Man in hypnosis inspired dream sequences. Reading / Watch List:

After many X-Men episodes, we finally do deep dive into everyone's favorite cajun: Gambit! We start by talking the debut issues for both Gambit and the twisted villain Mr. Sinister with whom Remy shares a dark secret. The secrets keep coming in the 90s aftermath of Age of Apocalypse that sees a fracture between Gambit and Rogue. For this week's alternate universe we look at a What If that sees Gambit, Rogue and Sinister battle it out to one heck of a twist ending! We end by looking at the the wedding of Colossus & Kitty, how it affected Remy & Rogue and wonder what is next for the couple on the current run of X-Men 97. It's a stacked deck!
from What If Volume #2 Issue #100 It's a MEGA X-Men episode focused on Mr. Sinister, Rogue and especially the mysterious card slinger Gambit. We review books by an all-star list of creators including Chris Claremont, Ivan Velez, Jr., Klaus Janson, Jim Lee, Marc Guggenheim, Scott Lobdell, David Marquez, Marc Silvestri, Fabian Nicieza, Andy Kubert, and more including Sinister and Gambit's first appearances, the length 90s "Gambit has a secret" saga to how Gambit and Rogue's relationship has evolved in the 21st century. Plus, Guido talks about some recent grail pickups and we continue to share our love for X-Men 97. Reading / Watch List:

What are we going to do on this episode? The same thing we do every episode: Host a comic book podcast and try to take over the world!
