Make Mine Multiversity

In this episode, the Make Mine Multiversity book club is back and bringing you one strange, strange mini-series. We love strange here at MMM, and maybe one day the good doctor will come as well, but for now bask in the glory that is the pettiest Marvel villain ever: M.O.D.O.K. and his crew of Z-listers. One of which is now on Krakoa. Who is it? You'll have to listen to find out.

Next month's book club: the mini-series "Bullet Points" from 2007. It's like an Elseworlds, but for Marvel. What If there was a name for that?

In this episode, we decided to talk about X-Men. Again. But we also look at current Marvel books in general and pick our respective favorites as part of a brand new feature. You might be surprised as to how much two men could love "X-Men." Or if this isn't your first episode, you probably won't be surprised at all. But stay tuned because we don't just talk about "X-Men!" We also look to space, New York City's streets, and some strange corners of the Marvel universe.

In this month's Make Mine Multiversity Book Club, we're taking a time machine back to the mid-2000s to see what Marvel thought teens sounded like, what the youts wanted to see, and why the digital coloring in those years makes Elias sad. Oh, and there's some set-up for an event called "Empyre" and a direct link to the last book club entry? Who knows. Oh, wait. We do. It's time to dig into Alan Heinberg and Jim Cheung's "Young Avengers."

The Mighty Multiversity Marvel podcast is back with episode 49! Every comics fan has an origin story that leads to a twisty path. This is ours. We talk a bit about our faves, and our least faves, our family and friends who got us into Marvel stuff, and the characters we feel like deserve more respect.

Make Mine Multiversity is a twice-monthly podcast that premieres on the first and third Friday of every month! It's like payday, but you can't buy food with our voices.

The first Make Mine Multiversity book club kicks off with "Avengers" #89-97, collectively known as 1972's "Kree-Skrull War." Why this book? Well, a little event on the horizon called "Empyre." Oh, and here's a timeline of that whole Captain Marvel debacle. But before we get down to that, Jake and Elias take stock of the current X-world with Baseline X, a soon to be recurring segment once X-books become more regular.

While comics are still slowly returning to the shelves, we're going to keep taking some time until we get back to reviews, and in the grand Marvel tradition of returning after a break with news, we have some! But you'll have to listen to find out exactly what it is. It's another SpecialTM episode of Make Mine Multiveristy you won't want to miss. There's hot takes. There's some Who's Who's of our hosts ala the Direct Competition. There's even something about the Kree-Skrull war? I wonder why that's important.

An instant classic! 7 variant covers, 3 with holo-foil and 1 made of pure chromium.

As comics slowly start coming back to the shelves, we're waiting a few weeks before we get back to reviews. And so is Marvel. They published new single issues last week, and new trades this week, and will be alternating the month of June as things get back to normal. Therefore on another special episode of Make Mine Multiversity Kevin, Jake, and Elias take a dive into all of Marvel's event comics of the 2000s and pick their top three. Come for the rankings, stay for the jokes. 

No new comics and less new news means another special episode of Make Mine Multiversity to kick off the month of May. After a brief intro by Kevin, the DC3Cast boys offer their definitive rankings of the Dawn of X books at this moment. While there will be no Free Comic Book Day this weekend, enjoy more lists and reliving this already exciting era for Marvel's merry mutants.

With no new comics still this month due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, the trio of Kevin, Jake, and Elias wade through all seven of Marvel's relaunches from the 2010s. Journey with them as they try to pick the objectively best book of the eras plus their personal favorites and underrated choices. The episode goes chronologically from Marvel NOW! (2012), All-New Marvel NOW! (2014), All-New, All-Different Marvel NOW! (2015), Marvel NOW! 2.0 (2016), Marvel Legacy (2017), and the current Fresh Start era (2018-).

Host Kevin Gregory takes you briefly through the current plane of where publishers are at amidst the coronavirus pandemic before moving onto announcements and discussion of books in Marvel's June 2020 solicitations like the "Shang-Chi" relaunched. In the back half of the episode Brian, Vince, and Zach of the DC3Cast return to give their thoughts on some of the March 2020 Dawn of X books. These include, "X-Men" #8-9, "Giant-Size X-Men: Nightcrawler" #1, "Cable" #1, and "Hellions" #1.
