The Smark Avengers - Why Marvel Comics Feel Broken Right Now

Episode Date: April 10, 2026

Something feels off with Marvel Comics… but what exactly is going wrong? In this relaxed follow-up episode, Corey, Dylan, and Jon continue their discussion on the current state of Marvel Comics, diving deeper into the growing frustrations around cancellations, constant relaunches, and confusing creative decisions. From books getting cancelled before they can find an audience, to endless new #1 issues, the guys break down why modern Marvel can feel inconsistent — and whether the publisher is hurting its own long-term storytelling. 🧠 Topics discussed include: The cycle of quick cancellations and relaunches Why so many series never get time to grow The impact of constant #1 resets on readersCreative decisions that feel rushed or unfocused Whether Marvel has lost the patience it once had with its titlesIs this just the reality of modern comics… or is Marvel making things harder on itself? This episode is a candid, laid-back conversation about what’s working, what isn’t, and what fans actually want from Marvel right now.Click the link for Dylan's radio show!: http://www.bouncedigitalradio.co.uk Click the link for Dylan's Twitch stream: http://Twitch.tv/spookylaroux Click the link for Jon's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/bigjonbowski/ Click the link for Corey's show "Large Old Cup": https://open.spotify.com/show/2YHMppnl9inQevwLIxR64f

I'm not excited about it because I think it's a one shot anyway, but it was the best I could do. Because I can't do Lobo number one because it's a DC book. And I can't do The Century number one because it's a Marvel book. Well, Cyclops number two is also not a, I mean it's a number two. It's not even the number one. You have the number two Show New number two's

World's Finest is an issue 49 Okay And I've got Nightwing Yep And I've got Racer X

Okay This is a pretty fun publisher They're doing a lot of really interesting stuff with using like Dick Tracy and Speed Racer characters I think they also have the Phantom as well And then I also have

X-Men number 27 Okay Do you recognize any of these characters Except for Quentin Quire? Is that karma? No, it's not karma. I don't recognize Oh wait, is that

I don't know what a name is now No, the one on the right-hand side her yeah no she's a new character oh no the one with the big hair on the right hand side oh that's idea she's from your generation hope yeah yeah yeah

I think she goes I think temperance is what she's going by now she's changed her name a lot over the years yeah I thought she was like aoya or something like that when she was oya now she is temper okay right who's a kid with the red jacket he is a grown man who is an original character to this run he can alter reality so the big premise to

the X-Men book has been this group 3K that are setting up like they've been experimenting with mutants and one of those things is they have found a way to or they've been experimenting with ways to activate the dormant X gene in non-mutants so So those two characters that we didn't recognize are two characters that were like adult humans who had like a regular life until 3K activated their X gene that would have, you know, activated if they were teenagers, but didn't for whatever reason. So they developed their powers out of nowhere. I guess were they like teenagers during the whole decimation years and when no new mutants were being born? It's hard to answer that with a sliding time skill Because that would also imply that like

A decade has passed So like Cyclops and everyone would have to be like 10 years older And Marvel and committing to that No way If a character has to get aged up They get sent through time or another dimension For like five minutes and then come back a decade older Which is what happened to hope

Except the kids though I was going to say like Franklin and Valeria Richards yeah they have grown up very quickly yeah well it doesn't help the fact

that Valeria is supposed to be like four years old but they draw her and write her like she's a very short 12 year old um 12 year olds are short well it's kind of like when we were talking about Normie Osborne and being rascal in the Red Goblin book he's supposed to be like

eight but like he looks like he looks like he's 14. Mm-hmm. Because you don't want to draw a 14, like an 8-year-old kid getting punched around and stuff. Like, that just makes you feel weird. Hey, we should probably say that at some point

the show started because I'm recording and we're talking about comic-related stuff and this is a relaxed fit episode. So hi. Okay. Welcome to Spark Adventure. His name is Corey. With me is Dylan and John.

How's it going, guys? Good. Yeah, yeah, not too bad. So, yeah, we're recording on not our usual day and not our regular time. So we're going to be a little free form and a little more of a relaxed kind of deal. So the episode, I'm going to say probably we started the episode with me bitching about not being able to get dead kids, which was a new number one through Oni Press. That's what I was aiming for this week.

But it was sold out. And I was there on Wednesday, which implies that like enough people bought it that they sold out of it almost immediately. That's good news. It's great news for Oni Press. Yeah. but yeah I was very disappointed because it was kind of slim pickings when it came to new number ones

at least all those dead kids didn't die for nothing then that's true oh no it was dead teenagers that was the name of the book I mean the premise was yeah they don't count anymore uh since 1997 five friends have been trapped in the ultimate nightmare as a mysterious entity forces them to relive their first prom night

over and over again and re-kills them in new and in increasingly insane ways each time. Okay. So that's the premise is that these characters are stuck in a loop where they keep dying and have been doing so for like 20 years. Okay. How do you feel with that? I mean, it was certainly interesting because the other options I had was Leonid the Vampire, the House of Yonda, number one, which is another Mike Magnola Curious Objects

imprint, and I just did one of those. you know, two weeks ago. And then horror comics Leprechauns number one, which was like a horror anthology one shot they put out for St. Patrick's Day. Oh, yeah.

And then they didn't have Super Creep Show and they didn't have Witchtober. I was gonna go, I was like at a point where like, if they have Wichtober, I'm gonna get Wichtober. Witchtover is clearly like a kid's book because these are the characters.

you're going to buy that. I was going to if I had no other choice. Good Lord. Yeah. A lonely witch cat and Majo casts a friendship spell and conjures a zombie, a ghost, and a grim reaper cat.

That was the premise of the book. I was like, I will read this before I read leprechauns. I think that's a good call, frankly. I'm on board with that. As an Irish person, And does it make you feel weird that there are like horror leprechauns?

It makes me feel weird that Americans are bizarrely obsessed with leprechauns. Over here, the concept of leprechauns does not come up in conversation almost at all. It comes up once a year for us, to be fair. Unless we're talking about Americans. Now, isn't that kind of funny? Is it the only time lepracons are mentioned in Ireland is when we're talking about America? Well, there's also the, it does come up when you talk about the Boston Celtics, because Lucky is their mascot.

We very rarely talk about the Boston Celtics. I got to be honest with these. They're not as big over in Ireland as you think they might be. There's no talk about, you know, Jason Tatum coming back from that ankle injury. I mean, that was great. Sure. That was fantastic. But other than that.

You got high hopes for him. Now, I don't know if they're going to make a championship run there. Some people saying, the Boston Celtics are the best team in the east, but like, it's the East Coast. I mean, it's really up for grabs. Yeah, I... They play what sport? Basketball.

Oh, of course. Yeah, yeah. That's... Real quick, John. Is that the sport you thought he was going to say? Well, I mean, if it's lepricorns playing any sport, then basketball seems like the obvious one. Yeah, a sport known for height. We're so obvious.

Six foot two is short. Yeah, super obvious. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, that's what they were going to play. Not golf. I'm looking at next week's new number ones, and it's looking a little dire as well. Okay. Yeah. Oh, but hey, next week, DC and Marvel's Superman Spider-Man number one comes out. Will that be reviewed on the show? Oh, you can't review it in the show because it's DC and Marvel.

But it is interesting. Have you seen anything about the this book so far front cover yeah it's about it all right the creating the writers that are associated with are mark Wade Tom King Matt Fraction Sean Murphy Gil Simone Christopher Priest Greg Ruckett and Jeff Lemire

okay I do you need that many writers for one book well it's gonna have a bunch of shorts loads of stories in it yeah I assume it's like the Batman Deadpool one we're like there's one main story and then like seven different smaller stories yeah so Mark Wade is telling the story of Superman and Spider-Man team-up. The other stories, Tom King is doing a tale of Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson.

Matt Fraction is doing Superman's pal Jimmy Olson and Carnage. Sean Murphy is going to the future with Superboy from the Legion of Superheroes and Spider-Man 2009. Gail Simone is doing Power Girl meets the Punisher. Oh, I love her. Christopher Priest is doing Superboy Prime and Spider-Man right after he gets to the Black Symbiate. Greg Rucker is doing a race between the daily planet and the Daily Bugle. Race?

Yes. I guess to do a walk. I guess to break a news story. Oh, not just like having a foot race. A hundred meters. And we also have a tale of. Who would win in a fair fight? Paw Kent or Uncle Ben?

No, that's a joke. But it is Jeff Lemire writing a team-up or a meet-up between Paw, Kent, and Uncle Ben. Cool. So those are the backup stories for the Spider-Man and Superman team-up. In the Deadpool and Batman one, they had a Batman Deadpool comic and then a Deadpool Batman comic. Are we doing that with this?

Is there going to be... No. And the Superman and Spider-Mod. I don't know quite yet. Cool. Good. I do know that I was surprised to see this one because I knew they were going to do the Batman Deadpool and the Deadpool Batman.

So the fact that they're doing Spider-Man Superman was kind of a surprise. Hey, real quick. You said this is coming out next month, right? Next week. Next week. Next week. Okay, cool. Because that means that whenever people watch this, it's been out for three weeks.

It's been out for a month. Yeah. so let us know what you thought about that in the comments we'll get back to you in a month with our thoughts where did you see our review of these issues in August

I would quite like because we talked about Deadpool and Batman we did it was a similar to relax fit yeah I would quite like I might take a trip up and buy I haven't bought comics since did you finish up the

Uncle Scrooge book I did. I believe we talked about this. We did. Yeah. I thought it was okay. Yeah, I didn't think. I think Jason Aaron did what he could with four issues for sure. I was hoping for a more traditional duct tales story, like, though, instead of this overarching four issue end of the world comic.

Right, exactly. Like, we've got duct tails. That's what duct deals is known for. Like, they go on an adventure, and then they're Swiss and turns, and he steals a truck. treasure or whatever. Like, it's a fun time. Maybe he just thought, oh, that they've done that already, but they haven't fought a bunch of weird alien robot dogs. Yeah.

Coin-operated robots. Yeah, we're going to do that. That's a great. And then the whole world fucking falls apart because there's no coins. I'm like, hmm, okay, interesting. Yeah. Quite prophetic when it turns out of now, we're going to run out of coins on oil and shit. And they're like, well, you know.

Yeah, well. Not that far away from the truth. But I felt like it was, I spent at the end. it was a bit weird as well where like he forgets everything I'm like this what is this you know I liked it up until I thought the last issue was a bit

that's not how I thought it should end or wanted it to end so I thought that the end of it was a bit whatever but I did like the rest of it you know yeah three out of four it it was yeah three three issues out of four were pretty good

yeah I do there is another Uncle Scrooge comic that's being put out by a different publisher right now Okay. That is more of a traditional Ducktail's kind of deal. When is that? Oh, it's been coming out.

So it's probably at this point, probably like six, seven issues in. Oh my God. I'm going to have to check and see if my comic guys have kept them for me and it doubt they have,

but I'll double check. I remember you did say something about like, hold my, my Duck Tales books for me. So yeah, Dylan, it's Uncle Scrooge is the name of the book. It's from Fantagraphics comics.

And it has, it's, Issue 6 comes out March the 25th, which is next week as a time of recording. So if you go and pick up Spider-Man and Superman, you can also pick up Uncle Scrooge number six. I would like to pick up issues one to five as well. You might be able to. We were talking, this is kind of a little follow-up on the last episode where we were talking about the cosmic Marvel. Nova number five came out last week.

I did read it because I thought it was going to be the last issue. It's not. Maybe they're going to squeeze out to issue six as the last issue. but remember how we talked about when they had to fix the beast problem with X-Force. They did it in like two issues with like the bulk of it happening in one issue. It felt very much like that. Like in issue four, this kind of scoundrel pilot ends up joining Nova's crew. And then like within the first two pages of this issue,

the guys already turned on him and sold him out to the, uh, the scroll and the cree. Good. Good pacing. And also Star Lord is somewhat getting redeemed in the process, but like also it's getting very much rushed because it looks like this is going to be the book they redeemed Starlord in after they made the big change where he kind of turned heel and became like leader of the Galactic Union.

Is this like the John Cena heel term where like he turned heel and then nobody bought it? So it's been good nod. Yeah, yeah. Pretty much it's quite literally. The issue started with like Nova taking off his helmet and getting into a fist fight with Starlord. Because he's like, I don't need powers to beat your ass. And now they're kind of like, you know, they got into a fist fight, found out that the decree and the scroll are after them. Another member of Star Lord's crew, or not Star Wars crew, but Nova's crew reveals that they have this disease that turned him into a giant tentacle monster.

That came out of fucking. I had that. I had that for a while. Yeah. Yeah. So it's very much like this, the person writing it, who I believe is Jed McKay, was under the belief that he was going to have 10 issues to tell a story and is now having to wrap it up very quickly. This thing is really like annoying me about Marvel. That were there not giving people enough time to flash out their stories? Like it seems weird to me to be able to say to somebody, a you know

you've got all this time to tell a story so you plot it out as a writer would you plot out the whole thing 10 issues 10 story beats everything the way it works piercing all that stuff it seems it's incredibly unfair for Marvel to be able to go oh hey cool you're halfway through the run

fuck it just wrap it up we're done yeah like like even regardless of like um uh seals and stuff like that Marvel are the ones commissioning it. They're the ones to say, yes, we want you to do this amount of issues. Surely, like, legally, they are not allowed to midway through that contract go, we're going to change the rules.

Sorry, fuck you. Like, that doesn't seem correct. Yeah, I don't know how the actual finance piece of it works. I don't know if, like, the guy, like, if they, hey, we're going to bring you in. Because, I mean, that was like in, in 2024, that's what we referenced in the last issue. the publisher for Marvel said like everybody's coming in we're guaranteeing 10 issues before a book

gets canceled now we're two years later and we're getting like we're finding out that stuff is actually more like if sales of the issues two and three pre-orders aren't strong they're canceling it at 5 then are like are people signing on with the belief they're doing 10 issues because that's what this

feels like with Nova like it feels like there's five issues worth of story getting crammed into one but that's that's it like if they can say we're guaranteeing you 10 issues and then halfway through that they go and you get six issues max like that's not a guarantee i mean do you think it's one of those things where they mean they got paid regardless of however many they put out or i don't know i thought the rules were and again we don't know the finance contracts but i thought it was like like a per issue thing surely like there's no point you get paid for issues in me because you haven't made them yet yeah it's also that also seems illegal for you to be able to do it that in a different way. So surely you get paid per issue. And if you are promised 10 issues and you only get to make five, then you don't get the story that you want to tell. But you also don't get paid with the other five issues. So that feels, and I assume some of the writers, I again, don't know how works, but they might get like residuals or like it might not even be able to. Yeah, I don't think residuals are a thing Marvel does. I mean, Ed Brubaker apparently was lucky to get an acknowledgement for creating Winter Soldier in the movie. You know, Yeah. So.

Okay. Well. This is Stanley's Marvel at the end of the day where he was notorious for shit like that too. Hypothetically, though, let's just say, even if they got a penny for every comic that sold. Right. Yeah. If you're not selling five issues because you can't make them, that's money off the table for you. Yeah. Yeah.

That's a lot, you know. Yeah, because like you said, we, again, we talked about this when. So when they announced from the ash, they were like, hey, here's our three core X-Men books, and then here's some other X-Men titles. And then we find out that some of them, like, you know, for some of them, they were legitimate ongoing. But then they did the Age Revelation, and we come back from Age Revelation, and they're like, hey, by the way, two of these X-titles are back.

So X-Men and Uncanny X-Men. Exceptional X-Men, that's done and over with. That's going to now be called X-Men United, because that's the current new X-Men book that just came out where Emma Frost has basically used Mr. Sinister Technology and has created a multi-dimensional school for all of the mutants. And everybody's real keen about having the school except for Cyclops. He was like, uh, this is kind of fucked. Like, why are we using sinister technology? You know we can't trust that shit. It's sinister. He's got like, that's just a backdoor for him to get in. But, you know, Kitty Pride and Emma Frost are all for us.

it. So I mean Cyclops is a dickhead and wrong. That's what I've learned over the years. But anyway, so that's like, those are the three core X-Men books. Wolverine's still around. But now here's some other X-Men titles, but these are mini-series instead. Hey, while we're talking about X-Men, I'm Wolverine. We really quickly talking about that fucking. Oh, over there.

Yeah. All right. So the context, it was yesterday. I sent, it was either yesterday or the day before. I sent you guys a screenshot of a news story that I think it's Wolverine issue number 20 that's coming out this summer where the premise is that Wolverine's claws are shattered. And I guess that means they're not coming back, which it's going to require some explanation because like his healing factor that, I mean, the shit should be regrowing back and he's regrown everything else. Correct. So, so Wolverine's claws are breaking.

So that's where we are. I don't know the context. I don't know who or what, but they're like, this is the new era in Wolverine. He doesn't have claws anymore. Well, can I ask why, when did,

I'm not up to date with a lot of the stuff that's going on? Why does he not have adamantium? I mean, he does. If you look in the image, do you see the adamantium? So how are, I have not been following, I,

when they, when from the Ashes started, I did, I was reading, the Wolverine comic because there it did relaunch with a new number one I was checking it out plug for new number ones

except not going to be talking about Marvel DC books sorry but anyway the preface on that one was that there was some sort of like ancient force behind animantium

that was like finding other people who had adamantium and possessing them and going after Wolverine so I don't know if it has something to do with that, that this deity is like back or what? Because even

when I was reading Gail Simone's uncanny, while Wolverine was a member of the team and a part of the book, he wasn't a major part of the book or a major part of the team. He was kind of there to be like someone to be in the fight scenes and occasionally bounce some advice off

like rogue would bounce some advice off of him because that book is very much a rogue and these new kid characters. book where everybody else is sort of like kind of a supporting character. So there was really nothing indicating there's something wrong with Wolverine in that book either. So unless this is like a newer development, I'm not sure what's wrong with him. Right. Is that one of those things where like they don't tell everybody, like this writer came up with this idea and they're like, that's great, but they didn't tell the other people who write Wolverine?

Yeah, I don't really know. I mean, the question then becomes like, what are we going to do with Wolfram? if his claws are breaking, you know. It's such an interesting concept as well. Like, oh, he's not got claws. Like, well, he's still Wolverine at the end of the day. Right. He's still going to be like the same surly, angry, violent person he's always been.

So, big work. Right. To me that this just seems like one of those like, this has never happened before. Wolverine's never been without his claws before. You're like, yeah, there's a really good reason for that. It's because it's a stupid idea.

You know what I mean? It sounds like they're just doing it as a surprise thing. It's never been done before. Let's see what happens. I'm like, nobody wants to see what he's going to get the back. So here is the current writer of Wolverine is Saladin Ahmed. I'm not sure if you guys are

familiar with Saladin Ahmed. Great. I think he would like his fiction books Dylan, he's got a very weird sense of world building about him. I think you dig it, but I've not been super into his comics. But it's fiction's good. So these are the solicitations. This is Wolverine number 21. This is coming out in June 10th.

Break. Logan faces the aftermath of the unthinkable as he and Nightcrawler embark on the perilous journey ahead. But the true test lies in what they'll discover. and in issue 22, which the solicitation for that is June 24th, Wolverine has been beaten down to the bone. His adamantium claws shattered. His bones snapped down to nubs. This is Wolverine at his most brutalized and most beat up.

But when an animal is backed into a corner, they can be at their most dangerous. Wolverine must fight his way through a gauntlet of enemies for his very survival. Villain's plot's turn, and you don't want to miss the ultimate trial for even if Wolverine can reach his enemies, will he remain a mutant? so I'm guessing he's losing his healing factor his mutant ability which would explain why his claws aren't coming back so did so he did he did he did no more muted mutant mutant did did uh that's not stupid

because it's like we've seen so like the first time this happened to Wolverine you would say is in the 90s when Magneto took the adamantium out of us his body, right? Yep. Because that's when, like, he, the pain was so bad that he turned to do the weird feral version of himself that didn't have a nose and he had bone claws. Okay, so that was weird, but like, the whole bit of Magneto,

pulling the Adam out of him was, like, insanely cool. They got sick as hell. Like, you know, like, it had impact. It had meaning. It was, you know, he did that. Yeah. Well, he did that. And then Xavier did the thing to, like, you know,

like it was a big moment. It wasn't just like, hey, what happens if it was like, well, no, this is, you know, the consequences and stuff. The fairer thing, I'm like, I don't quite understand how his whole face changed. I don't get, I don't get why his face changed, that's for sure. I do get the idea that, like, the pain was so bad that it broke him. Yes, that makes sense. But he's changed his biology. Yeah.

Well, and then he's also been through as much, like, I imagine way more painful, shit than that, you know, in recent years. And it didn't do that to him. No. Like, I hope that I would want them to be consistent. Getting all the adamantium pulled off his bones by Magneto was so painful, it turned him into a feral little mutant monster man for a while. Like, not even talking about the physiology change, but just like the mental change.

So every other time that he has been like nearly. incinerated, atomized, brutally, like, wounded. That was just a walk in a park, apparently. That's the, the real, the most painful thing in the world is having adamantium and you pull through his skin. I guess. The atomized is a piece of piss. Piece of piss.

Don't worry about it. Easy. Adamantine through the skin, oof, that'll hurt. Yeah, so, like, we, he's had that happen to him. And then he's lost his healing ability. We've had that happen to him already. yeah then because that's how he he got put into that adamantium cocoon right that's what killed yeah yeah yeah he was dead for a good bit of time it doesn't feel like he was but he was gone for like a

year or so right i think it was more like two or three years kind of impressive i mean they kind of bullshitted by having old man logan around but you know yeah yeah yeah they're like five other wolver brains like he's still here yeah he's still around Sabretooth was like that was part with the Axis storyline where Sabretooth had a conscience and was like a good guy. So it's, you had Laura Kay around as X23, you know, and I think that's what she first started going by Wolverine. There were so many Wolverines that we were like, we actually missed the old Wolverine. As if an old Wolverine comes back, then we'll have one Wolverine. Yeah.

Well, except we have, we've had two because Laura Kinney never stopped being Wolverine. But also, whenever he came back, like Old Man Logan was still a wrong. wasn't he? No, he got sent back. A little bit. Yeah, he didn't last long. He's old. And then there was what Jimmy, who was the,

the kid Wolverine from the old Ultimate Universe got brought in. Yeah, yeah. Kid Wolverine. Yeah, there's a blonde. And then there's a blonde Wolverine. There's a blonde Wolverine. He's disappeared as well. Yeah, he fucked right off.

He's like, they treat him like they treat Nate Gray. He's just gone every now and then. What happened on Nate Gray? I think he's back for the Jeff not Jeff Who am I thinking of? Yeah, Jeff Loeb X-Men of the Apocalypse

thing which was to celebrate the anniversary of age of apocalypse but then like one issue came out and then it got delayed for a while. That sounds like Jeff Loeb because it's Jeff Lobe.

Quit bringing him back. At least don't don't start putting it out until he's done. At least he's consistent. You can rely on him to not make a deadline. You can run.

on him not to be reliable. Well, that's the thing. Like, he still gets to make his issues, and it takes him seven years to make him, and people who do their issues on time get cut off at issue five. Isn't that crazy? It is insane. And that's what's weird is, like, a lot of these stories that have been coming out about these books getting canceled or pull or whatever, like, the thing I pointed out,

like, so that was the thing is, like, D.C. has a Poison Ivy comic. Poison Ivy is it issue 40? and Iron Man got cancelled at issue 10 Yeah Like what the fuck is going on over at Marvel That they cannot keep the book out But yeah But who's writing them

Like what are they about? Like what's happening Yeah yeah It's surely got to come down to the creative part of it Right If an Iron Man book is so bad I know that he was walking around In some really weird looking armor

With a sword Oh, ding, ding, ding. Yeah. They keep doing weird shit, and I don't know why. Like, we were talking about it after I sent you guys the Wolverines' bone snapping storyline. And you were like, Mary Jane's Venom, Black Panthers in space. Like, why can't they just do this shit they normally do? Isn't that, like, part of what I was saying, like, Iron Man has a sword now?

No, no, nobody. Dr. Strange is in Asgard because he's not sorcerer supreme. nobody was begging for Tony Stark Iron Man to have a sword because he doesn't need one but a writer at some point said hey this has never been done before let's give him a sword and they missed

the just because it's never been done before doesn't mean it's worth doing it's the same with that Wolverine thing there's a good reason why he didn't have his bone snap because nobody but who cares that doesn't make a good story Iron man the one of the coolest thing about Iron Man is he's got loads of

fucking guns and shit he's lasers in his chest he doesn't need a fucking sword what the fuck what do you need a sword for short range attacks he's got a fucking laser like that's that's short-sightedness

on the on the behalf of the writer surely like you're not writing for the character you just make it up your own shit and attach it to the iron man you know yeah yeah I mean at the end of the day

I need to quote Dr. Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park, you're so busy asking if we could. No one asked if we should. Exactly. Don't you feel like that's what's happening with these comic guys? Like they're just not... Well, yeah, I mean, it's weird because like when I'm looking at, I'm looking at the next couple of weeks of what's coming out at Marvel, right?

Okay. One of the books that has the highest... What's already come out in Marvel? What has already come out in Marvel? what has already come out in Marvel and like one of the books that have the highest like number count right now is X-Men because it's at 27

and it's at 27 because there's a couple of like every other month it comes out twice in the month but like Spider-Man and Spider-Man and fucking X-Men are the only thing that's been like really coming out consistently and kind of going back to we're talking about like not letting the characters do what they are

There's a series out now, and I don't know if you guys do this because you don't strike me as Thor readers, but it's called The Mortal Thor. Oh, I read Thor. Okay, cool. So have you heard anything about The Mortal Thor? Yeah, well, I just finished reading The Immortal Thor, which was like the run before that, which led up to it. And then at the end of that run, he basically dies, but finds a way to kind of, I think, connect. with the Donald Blake persona and create like a new version of himself on Earth, but it's like he's not Thor.

He's got no powers. Beta Ray Bill has basically taken his place. What do you mean he's not? So he connected with Donald Blake, the human who has no powers. To become a different guy with no powers. Right, like what the fuck does that mean? So here's here's the premise behind it. Following a battle against the gods of Utgard, Thor is slain by Loki, which fulfills a dark prophecy and shatters the rainbow bridge.

To protect Asgard, Thor is reborn as immortal, losing his divine powers, his memories, and his status as a god. Thor now lives on earth as Sigurd Jarlsen, a Norwegian construction worker, unaware of his former identity. Despite being a mortal, Sigurd must navigate a world where Norse gods have been erased from memory and bring back the magic of the gods. The series is a grounded mythological journey where a powerless Thor faces more intimate and dangerous threats. This is by Al Ewing,

who I think is one of the more reliable Marvel authors, but it is still the very thing of like, hey, let's take Thor who's known for being a god and just, he's not a god anymore. He's just a guy who does construction work. Can I really quick just say, grounded mythological?

Yeah, a bit of a, it's a bit of a twist in it do we oh it's never been done before we don't need to do it just do fun stuff well like all the other stuff like Spider-Man going to the space and shit

or Murray Jam being Venom it's never been done before don't do it then something else be something fun I hate Spider-Man going to space what's he doing what the fuck this is what we're talking about

about the film where it's like finally see him being like a grounded real-ass spider-man he hasn't been a grounded real-ass spider-man in the comics for fucking years it's not the same spider-man this is not what people like spider-man do you mean yeah it is

so okay we're gonna do some juxtaposition real quick right okay sure so you have at marvel right now Dr. Strange is in Asgard because he's no longer sorcerer supreme the Scarlet Witch is now the sorcerer supreme you have Mary Jane as Venom Wolverine is losing his claws somehow.

I feel like the beginning of that last Star Wars movie where it's like Palpatina, somehow Palpatina is returned. Somehow Wolverine is lost his claws. Somehow Mary Jane is Venom. Somehow Thor is now immortal. Yeah. Sigmund. Anyway, you have all this weird stuff going on there.

But over in DC, they are also doing some weird shit where it's like, Aquaman is now the, is now called, is now emperor Aquaman with the idea that he's going into space but I read the first issue of that and they kind of explained it in a way that kind of makes sense in a sense.

So in DC they have these elemental forces there's the green which is like synonymous with swamp thing, right? So they introduced the green and that's with swamp thing and there was the red which is with Animal Man. They've created the concept of the blue which is water and that

through the stuff that is happen, Aquaman has become sort of the protector of the blue, the elemental force of water, and that there are other galaxies out there that are planets of water that are in danger, and he feels this calling that he has to go to them to save them. So there is an explanation as to why Aquaman is going into space, that he is now a protector of all of the oceans and not just Earth's ocean. Okay, but I also would argue that with a lot of the other stuff we talked but yeah there is an explanation for it there is i don't know if it's a great one a good explanation

it's not a great like that's the thing is like there's an explanation i don't know if it's a great one but it's an explanation i still don't quite understand mary jane is venom aside from her time is jackpot which is still a weird thing to do with her anyway like damn near killed her and the only thing keeping her alive is the venom symbiate how is this what happens with venom i guess It also is weird because like she's... Eddie had cancer as well, and the Venom symbiote kept him alive for years. How? Does he eat it?

Does he eat the cancer? Venom eating the cancer? I guess it keeps their day. You would imagine so because venom, the symbiote needs Eddie Brock to be alive for it to continue to exist. That was before the symbiote would just fucking suck anybody. Yeah. Yeah. Because I was like, I was going to say, like, does that mean that it, like, does the symbiote?

that it like does the symbiate just need a body but it's the symbiote you would imagine I'm saying so it's like if eddie was like near death is he the only thing keeping Eddie alive is Eddie a walking corpse at this point well the thing about that was

that's like some doom patrol shit really well at the time whenever Eddie did have cancer he did he lost the suit yeah that's when McDonnell Gargan was venom can I tell you I love your insist on on keeping that going.

I just, because like you said it when we were talking about the, so also context for your listeners, we were talking about the Spider-Man Brave New World trailer. Is that what it's called? Brave New World?

Brand new day. Brand new day. Spider-Man 5 or whatever it is. Just call it Spider-Man 4. Anyway, in the trailer, you see the Scorpion, and he's clearly a man of, like, Latino descent.

And you're just like, I don't get why MacDonald Gargan's not wearing a mask. I'm like, I'm not sure he's McDonald Gargan at this point. That's his name. It seems like a very Irish name for a man of that skin complexion. What how else, what, what would you abbreviate Mac to? If not McDonald. Mackenzie.

That's not a Latino name either, John. It could be. We all know the Scots came over to settle. Mexico first. It's either Scotland or it's from Ireland. You get to choose. You have a Scottish scorpion of you and Irish scorpion. But that's his name. I know. I just appreciate that. Eddie had lost the suit by then, so he was dying, like legitimately.

And then the reason that he stopped dying was he got the anti-batham thing. So I guess, but I guess my other problem with that, right? I'm so weirded out sometimes when like maybe this is an example because Grant Morrison talks about it in their book Super Gods about how adults overthink and I don't know how much of it is me overthinking. But like realistically, I feel like Mary Jane should be horrified that she's bound to the symbiate because she knows what the symbiates capable of because not only was her former boyfriend possessed by it when he was. Former husband. What is it? I don't know if the marriage is recognized or not. It's hard to tell these days.

He undid their marriage. I don't know if that counts as divorce. But what? Mm, very interesting. Is it divorce? Is it divorce? He just said, like, I want your marriage.

Like, he made them forget that they got married, but like, did they also make the county clerk? When he said, I want you, I want your marriage. Does that mean she's married to Mepesto? That's not so weird point. but anyway right like not only that but like

Venom has like tried to kill her in the past for being associated with Spider-Man like I just feel like she should be horrified by like having this thing in her because that's what it is it's in her yes I totally agree it's like that happened she saw it happen with Peter Parker she saw it happen with Eddie Brock

it happened to Anne Wayne had him with Flash Thompson like well Flash didn't get fucked up from it but like the other guy It's weird. Out of every person who's ever had a symbiate, Flash Thompson's time with a symbiate was like straight up like, like it was just a costume.

Yeah. It's so weird that they handled it that way with him. Most of that, I think in the, in the agent venom run, was it? Like, where. Well, that was Lemire too, right? Yeah.

Like, to begin with, he was sort of dealing with the symbiate trying to, you know, give into its urges and stuff. But then it didn't really continue on. And like, I guess they resolved whatever issues there were. I mean, that, I would say as well, like, maybe, like, there's been more, like, over the last few years,

there's been more kind of heroic instances of venom being around than villainous. And maybe that's kind of tempered whatever, like, fears Mary Jane had about the symbiote before. Do you think Mary Jane would know that? Do you think Mary Jane, after all the fucking shit she went through, like personally, she saw, that she witnessed,

and then she reads on the news that the symbiates nice and nice, like, oh, cool, suck me up, baby. Like, I don't think she's, I think she's still sort of involved in Spider-Man's world and it's probably experienced it firsthand and stuff, and she knows Flash Thompson as well. So, I don't know. I'm trying very hard to, like,

you should make some sort of this. You should get a plug to marble because you're the only one trying to make sense of this shit. Yeah, it is, it is. Like, I had that thought of, like, man, do you think she'd be more horrified about this? Mm-hmm. But, like, she's being all cheeky with it and, like, oh, you know, like, I think they even, like, brought it up that, like, before she broke up with the infamous Paul that, um, he was kind of creeped out by it because it was just like,

I can't be intimate with you because there's this other thing there too. And she's like, oh, it's fine. Yeah, don't worry, it will fuck you. Yeah, don't worry. He has his own mind. Real quick, because we were talking about Margie and Vanham. I had this idea today. I was watching a thing that was about the Spider-Man 94 animated TV show.

Yeah. and you know what happened and the end of that was the Mary Jane that Peter Parker thought he knew was like a clone and then the real Murray Jane went through a time portal and then whatever the fuck and then Peter Parker chased after and there was no logical

good conclusion to that boy they figured out Marvel back in that 24 didn't they but then I was thinking about the Murray G& we have now that's like going out with this guy Paul or was going out with this guy Paul and is totally okay

with the Venom symbiote. I'm like, well, wasn't the gimmick with her and Paul? Like, they were trapped in some kind of like other dimension. Yeah. Yeah. With fate kids. So is, is this Mary Jane? It's an interesting.

Is it? Is this a close? Is the other Murray Jean somewhere else? It would explain my Murray Jean is now suddenly okay with being Vanham. It would explain why she's suddenly okay with going out with that guy, Paul, or like being a bit of a joke. jerk or being like suddenly okay with all this stuff that's going on and i'm not saying that this is what's happening i have a feeling that marvel will let us down once again and go yep that was

murray jane the whole time suck it up i mean it would be it would be an easy way to retcon it for sure and you basically undo all of that stuff there's a lot i feel like there's a lot marvel needs to undo to be frank i feel like what they've done to to ben riley is a big one the whole chasm thing i I was I was so excited with that whole, like, run where he was, like, the corporate-backed Spider-Man kind of deal. I'm like, what's an interesting concept? But that, it just was set to set up him turning into a villain, which is, like, not interesting at all.

Like, nope. There's also a lot of character. And there's so many fucking Spider-Man spin-offs right now. Because, like, there's Ghost Spider. there is the Miles Morales Spider-Man, there's Spider-Boy, they just introduced Spider-Girl, there's like the Indian Spider-Man,

there's like, I think, two versions of Spider-Man 2009. But it's like, for some reason, they think having Kane and Ben Riley around is too much. And it's like, really? Like, the two established ones, that's too much.

Yeah. Well, also because the way they write them is shit. So, Yeah, I just really don't. I don't get what's going on in Marvel. It feels like nothing over there feels inspired. Like, it feels like doing stuff for the sake of doing stuff.

And every time they go, like, this is a new creative team on the Avengers. Like, I look at the creative team. I look at the lineup of the characters. I'm like, this is uninteresting. Like, I've not, it feels like the only writer that I really like at Marvel right now is Jed McKay. And I checked out his cap. in America that he just started. I read the first issue of that and I'm like, well, this is an interesting premise,

but I'm not going to keep reading this. Corey, you love Gil Simone. Gil, well, I don't like, I don't like what she's doing with Uncanny, though. He has a horse. They still, by the way, still haven't figured out what that horse's deal is. It's still a sudden weird going out of that horse. Because we have to keep reading to find out. The girl's mutant power.

isn't involving the horse isn't the horse she's like she can create flame constructs I think but like like pyro but I don't know what the horse has to do with anything it's got you intrigued it's doing brain surgery according to us I forgot about that classic bit oh one of my favorite thumbnails that was good I did like that one but yeah I don't know I've been reading a lot of comics lately and checking out a lot of the independent stuff as well because of like I said,

because of do a new number one. And it just feels like it feels like D.C. is doing a better job at like trusting their creative teams and not pulling the plug on stuff so quickly. Yeah. The only time that like I said, we talked a little bit about this, the last time I can remember that a book got canceled

somewhat prematurely at D.C. was they canceled Red Hood after issue one because the writer was a little too happy about Charlie Kirk getting shot in the neck, you know? I remember that. A lot of people were really bummed out that Green Arrow got canceled, but it got canceled at issue 31.

Like, that's not bad. They gave it 31 issues, and, like, sales weren't there. That happens, especially with Green Arrow. When you get to those C-list, C-and-B-less characters, sometimes it really is luck of the draw. But they gave them 31 issues to try to turn it around.

Which is fair. It's fair, absolutely. I had no, like, I was bummed out about it because I love Green Arrow, but I can see what they tried, you know, and what they're doing with the character now is he and Black Canary are moving over to Detective Comics to be characters with Batman in those stories. So they're still keeping the characters around, which I don't know what they're going to do at Marvel with all these cosmic characters, probably nothing. We talked about this.

They're going to establish all this species, and then they're not going to do nothing about it for like seven years and then they're going to have a big like um comic event where all the cosmic guys come together again and you're going to go remember this guy from seven years ago and we're all going to go no no no no no not at all no remember your horse and we'll go yeah of course you have a horse you can't forget horse yeah it's amazing yelsamud's book at They're dogs. They're dogs. They're sentinels. Sentinel dogs. Sentinel dogs.

Who cares? That's Gail, though. But also, like, what benefit would that have? If you were making a robot, like, why would you, like, listen, the sentinels that look like humans aren't working against the X-Men. Dogs. But a dog will do it. Yeah, that'll figure it out. Killed one of them.

Though it killed the one who had the whole, their whole power was, like, talking to dead people, so it didn't stick, but, you know. Didn't kill the horse, though. Didn't kill the horse. I kill a horse. Yeah, I don't get it. So, I don't know. You guys are big Marvel guys.

For me, like, when I've been looking over at Marvel, I'm not really seeing too much. It makes me excited to, like, check him out. I think we talked about it before how, like, when you're writing comics, you can't just write the same old thing every time. There's got to be some, sort of evolution to the characters there and like trying to push them beyond just you know whatever

knows but i think creatively they are just pushing these characters and the storylines and weird directions which no one really wants to see and that's like the crux of their problem like if they could find the balance between keeping been the characters familiar enough with what people know and love and then pushing them in more like logical directions than who knows maybe a book would actually last be on five issues yeah i think that's true i think that i really do think they're too obsessed with trying to do something new and shocking with these characters instead of trying to be like well what's a good story.

Exactly. What if people want to read, you know, or what do I believe is a good story? As opposed to like, what's going to grab head? Because like this is grabbed headlines. Oh, Wolverine lost his claws. People are going to talk about that. Podcasts like this are going to talk about this for. But we're talking about it for the wrong reason because we're talking about going,

this is stupid. Like, we're not going to read it. Doesn't matter. We're talking about it, right? And people are going to buy the buck to see what happens because we're all talking about shit of this. And this is what we're saying. is that's not necessarily a good way to run a business.

It's to just run it on hearsay and shock value. Like maybe you could just be good at the stories. So here's the thing that I feel like is a separation of like what we're talking about as a good example and a bad example. So one of the miniseries they announced for after Age of Revelation ended was a Cyclops mini series. I already showed you the cover of issue number two. The premise of that is Cyclops is stranded in the Arctic tundra We're in the forest

Because it doesn't really look like the tundra There's not a lot of snow that I've seen But his visor is broken So it means he can't open his eyes Because if he opens his eyes He's just going to obliterate everything in front of him So he's lost in the forest He can't see and the reavers are after him

Easy premise What we know about Cyclops is Control That's why he has to have the visor You remove that and becomes a complication. So now he has to make his way back home whilst also being hunted by mutant hunters. Easy premise. That works.

Right. They're trying to, it seems like what's happening in Wolverine is to take that same idea, but kind of dumb by this, the sound of it. Like, Wolverine's claws are snapping in half, or snapping off. Like, okay. We know that he can fight, though. Like, we know that he's, like, he's more than capable of it.

The dude was a fucking. like samurai ninja or whatever the fuck he was doing in Japan, you know? Like, it's not like you've made his life more complicated. You remove something that he's used to, yes. But that's not as debilitating as like Cyclops can't open his fucking eyes. It's not the same. Also, you know, like Vega in Streetfire has those claws he can stick on his hand. Why doesn't Wolverine just get a pair of those?

And he's got his claws back. Done. Exactly. Vega figured it out. Vega figured out. Yeah. He only needs one of them. Exactly.

And he can climb up the big fence. Yeah. He was my favorite character. He get played by Oval Beck. But that, I don't know, but, but, I mean, I guess he wears a mask. I don't know. I feel like that's maybe the only reason they hired him. Honestly, I believe that's the only reason.

That, but, that Street Fighter movie looks bizarre for that reason. Questionable. Questionable, yes. Cody Rhodes' giles is guile is still. choice. Tell you what, though, right? Roman Reins is Akuma? You're like, I could see that.

I could, I mean, Cody is guile I'm fine with. I was just like, boy, it looks weird, but I'm fine with it. I'll tell you what, Cody Rhodes, I bet right now is thanking his lucky stars that he got the America flag tattooed in his fucking neck whenever he decided to play all American guile. Like that couldn't have worked out any better. Yeah. So let's, let's pitch it.

Let's just do a little sidestep. of that territory. Is that a movie, Dylan? I know you're a street fighter guy. Is that a movie you're interested in seeing? Yes, in a manner of speaking. Yes, in that kind of like morbid curiosity kind of thing where you're like, I have to see how bad this film's going to be. Do you mean?

Yeah. Not going to way. I know somebody who is super in the Weather and Heights and had to see the new Weather and Heights film to see just how bad it was. Spoiler alert, it's fucking terrible. I've heard it's bad. Oh, it's bad. Like, I can't describe how bad it is,

but she had to see it to know, to understand. And I feel like not to draw parallels between Wuthering Heights, a classic in literature, and fucking Street Fighter. A classic in video gaming. Well known for its narrative structure. Yeah, we all know that the plot of Street Fighter is too long to talk about right now. Exactly. So we won't.

Not enough time in the day. Yeah. So, but I like Street Fighter enough to know that this film is probably going to suck. But I have, I just have to see. I feel like I have to see it. What do you think about Kenny Omega as Alex? We've talked about this. I fucking hate it.

I know. He'd hate it. I'm so, I'm so angry. I know someone who's a big Kenny Omega fan and I've told them about your reaction to it. And they're like, well, it just doesn't seem like Dylan has like a sense of fun. I'm like, I feel like Dillon just fucking hates Kenny Omega. Guys, you've known me for a while. Yeah, I think that you would both agree that I definitely do not.

The one that you can say about me. No serious person I know. I am not a fun person. Never once said something facetiously. I'm so unfa. Like, I have no sense of humor. None whatsoever. So it's really hard, boring.

All right, so John, as someone who is, you're a resident go-to movie guy, what are your thoughts have been from what you've seen of the street fighter movie I mean I'm not as invested in it as Dylan but like I mean I'd watch it still I'm not gonna rush out to the cinema to watch it

but when it's streaming I'll check it out I feel like it's one of those you gotta have to see in a movie theater but you have to see it for that experience level of it so I saw the 90th Street Fighter movie in the movie theater and I

I have very fond memories of that. I remember people fucking laughing at Zong-Gief going, quick change the channel. Yes, love that bit. Great joke. Great joke. Pulled it off perfectly fine. That's the thing.

Parts of that film are great. Oh, very memorable. The M. Bison speech of, for me, was just a Tuesday. Fucking, really in the line. It's just such a shit movie, but it has so many memorable scenes. Well, the best thing with that film is that, like, Raul Gilead does not phone it. He is a diamond in a big rough.

Like that film sucks us and he is just a shining example of fucking pro. He was literally dying, making it as well. No, it was cancer. The whole of the show. So Christopher Walken has that similar kind of thing to him where it's like the mood, I saw someone theorized a long time ago that Christopher Walken will be over the top and absurd in movies that he's meant to be serious in and deadly serious in movies that he's meant to not take seriously at all. Yeah.

Like the country bears movie that Disney put out there, like it's his most sinister that he's been in a long time. And it's like some movie with people in bear costumes for all intents and purposes. I haven't seen it. Nor should you. But it is like one of those, he's weirdly sincere in it the whole time. But like, okay,

my opinion on this street fire movie, the casting is fucking insane, which we've kind of talked about. I like David Dasmalchian, and I'll see him eat up some scenery as in Bison. I'm a fan. The rest of the casting, I don't really, you know, I know who Orville Peck is, and I know Jason Mamoa,

because he's in everything these days. And I know, you know, I know the WB wrestlers that are in it. Aside from that, I don't really think I'm from, familiar with anybody else. Wasn't Andrew Shultz? Doesn't he Dan?

Yes. He's Dan Habiki. I think that's perfect character like casting and that I think he's a fucking idiot. So that's perfect. Because it's Street Fighter lore, Dan's like an intentionally character. Yeah. He's just like really bad. He's got the worst Tedukin.

You know, you have to be like really close for it to actually hit someone. Yeah. I used to love in Street Fighter 4, I would always play a stand because if you beat somebody with him, like, but you suck, dude. But yeah, yeah, it's definitely a movie that is leaning way more into the aesthetics of Street Fighter than anything else previously. It's like they took, like, the inspiration. So there's like that One Piece show on Netflix. It just looks like the live action version of an anime, complete with character designs and everything.

And a lot of people really fucking love it. And maybe that's what they're going for. They're like, let's just be, let's just go for the most literal attempt at adapt. this silly thing. Part of that's because people just love One Piece, but I do agree that I feel like they're just kind of like there's going to be, the tongues

are in the cheek here, they're just kind of like we're not, yeah, so there's no point in making a big, serious, epic Street Fighter film, because nobody's going to buy it, but if we just kind of play around with it and just have fun with it, people will have fun with it. Because like we said, Street Fighter are not the most

densely narrative of stories here, but if you just kind of play around and have fun with it the audience will have fun and you know it's not going to win any awards but you'll have a good time at the cinema it feels like the uh masters of the universe movie that's coming out is in the exact same vein as well and now i'm looking forward to that way more than i am the street fight movie did you did you grow up a fan of he-man in the master's universe john oh very much so yes did you enjoy the uh the dulf lungren Human Masters?

Yeah, man. That... I was playing that the other day. Frank Langeller's Skeletor is one of the greatest villainous performances of all time.

Of all time. Of all time. More than... Yeah? I mean, I'd say he's on a par at least. Okay. I'll go with that. I haven't seen the film,

but I trust your judgment. The film guy. Yeah, exactly. Film guy. So John, speaking of being the film guy, how many movies have you watched for 2026 so far? I have watched 288 movies so far. Wow.

Okay, because like, so we record next week. That's going to be the month of March. You are currently averaging about 100 movies a month. This is the month of March. Yes. Yeah. So, yeah, it's going pretty well so far. I like it.

So what was the last one you watched? It was called Murders in the Rue Morg. Sort of loosely based on the Edgar Allan Poe short story, which basically introduced the whole concept of like detective fiction. Okay. Yeah, this was completely different from that story. But it had Herbert Lom in it, who was like Inspector Cluso's exasperated chief character in all those Pink Panther movies. And he's amazing and it was very funny.

Not so much in this, he's like the actual murderer who's killing people. and he has like his face scarred by acid. But, you know. I mean, it was not great, but I enjoyed him at least. I was hoping you tie it back into Master of the Universe and say that he played Mechanek or something. Yeah. Anyway, John, where can our fans, our listeners, just because you're listening doesn't mean you're a fan. I'm just going to put it out there.

You don't feel pressured. Where can those listening check out your review of that? exceptional Edgar Alpoh adaptation. They can head to Letterbox and find me at Big John Bowsky, Ormwood. And Dylan, what do you get up to you during the week? I sleep a lot, but when I'm not sleeping, I'm awake. And on Monday nights, I do a radio show on, you can listen to it online, which is magical. If you have a browser, you can listen to it.

Sometimes I stream on Twitch at Spooky LaRue and I post animations that I make on YouTube on TikTok at Team Crows and I. I think the links are all somewhere. You can find them. We put up a new animation the other day And we fucking loved it

And nobody else did Oh, I was got it, I was heartbroken Like this was so good It was so funny But how do you know people didn't like it Were the people actually saying, oh, this was not good? We saw the numbers Like we put up one a few weeks ago

And it did like crazy numbers on TikTok Like it was the most popular one we've ever done it had like 3,000 views like that's amazing whoa dude 2,000 views and I kept going up like every day

like most times we post something it's stagers after like a day yeah just kept going up so then we worked on this one for like two weeks

whatever like this is gonna be fucking sick as hell dude it's gonna be so good and I got like 200 views I'm like oh oh my oh that's a shame

so go back and like watch that and on TikTok and on YouTube. Give us money. Give us money. Yeah? Give money to Dylan

and his friends. That's your money to Dylan. Be careful. You're going to start something like Danhausen. Hey, he's got the right idea. He does. Should I start calling myself Dylanhausen? Will I get in trouble?

Might. Might. Let's just forget that and just give me money. I'm just. Yeah, just give me. Dylan money and that way you don't even have to paint your face I'm not going to there you go now you don't have to done easy done and done as for me I have another show called large old cup it is a spoken word storytelling podcast that is fun to do because there's no plan behind it I just do it

and it's good time there is also the kind of show that we talked a little bit about in this episode called new number ones it comes out on our YouTube channel where every week I go to the comic book store and I try to find a number one comic from a smaller publisher and do a review on it. Some weeks, I have a selection, and then some weeks I don't. So we might be revisiting that Nodisi and Marvel rule at some point soon because there was some slim pickings this week, and I'm not necessarily sure of what I pick counts. Well, yeah, we'll see how that goes. It'll adapt and grow.

But, of course, you can find that here on our channel. the links to everything we've talked about is in the description. We will see you all later next week. Until then, goodbye. Goodbye. Bye-bye.
