My guest this week is Michael Buzzelli! What did John Byrne do that Michael didn't like? How did another writer fix it? Are comic books like a soap opera? What's going on with the Fantastic Four now? Who's doing the covers? Who is Nova? What have they been doing with the X-Men lately? What is a sliding time scale? What is Marvel Two-in-One? How is Mantis different in the comics versus in the MCU? What did Stan Lee refer to the Marvel Universe as? What's the deal with the Swordsman? What happened to Kang in the MCU? How great were The Defenders? Were they too powerful? Why wasn't Michael a big DC fan? Why is Quicksilver always in a bad mood? What did Agatha Harkness do? What was Stan Lee not good at? What do they do in Age of Ultron that they don't do in the DC movies?
