It's Hawkeye time! Specifically 2012's classic by Matt Fraction, David Aja, Matt Hollingsworth, and Chris Eliopolous (with Annie Wu and Francesco Francivilla rounding out the regular artists.) Jaina and Elias revisit the first eleven issues of this seminal classic about a sad sack avenger, a different sad sack YOUNG avenger, and an apartment building in Bed-Stuy. Does it hold up? Yes. Duh. Is it still a perfect masterpiece? Welllllllll.....

Next episode, things get coastal as we check in on the back half of "Hawkeye" with #12-22 and the annual! That's volumes 3 & 4 of the trades and there is no set order because existence is pain and trust us we get into it. Comics!

After quite a number of episodes away, our monthly (now quarterly-ish) look at every X-book published since "House of X/Powers of X" returns with a new title and a new coat of paint. In addition, there's a small detour into one of the X one-shots we loved: "Giant-Size X-Men: Thunderbird" #1. Oh, and apparently Elias is British or has been reading Kieron's newsletter too much because he kept spelling Judgment as Judgement.

Next time, we're digging deep legendary "Hawkeye" comic series by Matt Fraction, David Aja, Annie Wu et al. Join us for the first 11 issues and a discussion of how we've been pronouncing David Aja's name wrong all this time.

This year we've read comics, we've even read a book, but in this episode we are doing neither. This is an episode all about a TV show. A short-lived, pretty fun TV show about everybody's favorite big evil head, MODOK. You know MODOK? The Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing? George Tarelton if you're feeling nasty. Turns out Marvel released a weird animated sitcom about the guy on Hulu. Though now cancelled, we discuss the series highs and lows, as we dream of a future with more MODOK.

Still keeping up with our book club? Well get ready for some good old fashioned comics! Our next book club episode is all about Hawkeye. The Matt Fracion/David Aja run to be exact. This is going to be a two parter, so read the first twelve issues for next time. You should read the annual too!

The weather is hot. The comics are gearing up for something big. And we here at Make Mine Multiversity want to answer your burning questions about the Summers family, namely: hot or not? OK. More like good or not but wouldn't that have made for a fun, steamy episode? We also talk some of the books we're enjoying and we dunk on a couple books we're not. Only a little dunking; we don't want to be mean.

Still keeping up with our book club? We got a bit ahead of ourselves in last week's description because next episode, we're watching MODOK! Sadly recorded before news of its cancelation hit. After that, we'll be off to the races with the legendary "Hawkeye" comic series by Matt Fraction, David Aja, Annie Wu et al.

This is a comic book podcast and sure, there's some talk of movies and TV shows, but a book? With no pictures!? That's right true believers! Today's episode is all about All of the Marvels by Douglas Wolk. The good Mr. Wolk took upon himself the great endeavor of reading every issue of a comic set in the Marvel 616 universe. Then he tried to synthesize that information into something of a coherent book. Was he successful? The two hosts can't even agree! But the discussion that disagreement inspires is fascinating.

Still keeping up with our book club? Next time you can tune in for a discussion on the legendary "Hawkeye" comic series by Matt Fraction, David Aja, Annie Wu et al. It's impossible to have a bad time while reading those issues! To follow along, read the first dozen issues and the first annual, and you will be right on target.

Normally on the weeks MMM doesn't do a book club, there are a couple recurring segments but, with a new era of X comics, Jaina and Elias thought they'd change things up, mostly so they weren't reading a list of over 30 comics every other week that's mostly, but not always, the same. Long time Mutantversity readers will recognize the segment as The Two resurrect the Merry Mutant Medals...with a twist!

The twist is the medals are different.

Next time, we get wordy as Jaina and Elias talk about "All of the Marvels" by Douglas Wolk. A prose book!? In our comics podcast?! It's more likely than you think.

It's book club time for Make Mine Multiversity. You probably remember our recent "Howard the Duck" episode; this one is the sequel to that! Now we are discussing the most recent "Howard the Duck" run, written by Chip Zdarsky and illustrated by many talented artists, mostly notable Joe Quinones. Every so often, Make Mine Multiversity reading club reads an absolute gem. This is one of those times!

If you are reading along with us, we are covering "Howard the Duck" #1-5 (2015A,) #1-11 (2015B,) and "Unbeatable Squirrel Girl" #6 (2015B.) For trade readers, you can check out the omnibus or volumes 0-2. Does that numbering make sense? Of course not, and we get into that.

Still reading along? Want to know the next book club comic? Trick question! Next time we will be reading a prose book. Check out "All of the Marvels" by Douglas Wolk. We hope to see you there!

We're back with another book club and this time we're looking at the classic 1976 series "Howard the Duck" series by Steve Gerber & Frank Brunner/John Buscema/Gene Colan/a whole host of other colorists, letterers, inkers and another writer. Not every issue though. As much as we love being thorough, 31 issues is a LOT to read. We'll encounter space turnips, presidential ducks, megalomaniacal gingerbread creatures, Kidney Lady, and a whole host of other wacky Clevelandites and New Yorkers while also talking about the just as wacky behind the scenes of this book's creators.

For those reading along at home, we read "Howard the Duck" (1976) #1-8, 30 & 31 which can be found in Vols 1 & 2 of the "Howard the Duck: Complete Collection."

Next book club, which is the next episode: We're reading the newest "Howard the Duck" series which should've been straightforward but then Hickman had to happen. Dammit Hickman! We'll be reading "Howard the Duck" issues #1-5 (2015A,) #1-11 (2015B,) and "Unbeatable Squirrel Girl" #6 (2015B.) For trade readers, you can check out the omnibus or volumes 0-2.

Most people read Marvel comics for the story and the artwork, or maybe a love for the characters. This episode ain't about any of that. This on is all about the decisions that happen behind the scenes, and how it changes the way we read comics. Learn about the strange reading habits of a few comic collecting weirdos! You'll also hear some talk about Marvel's plans for the future and one impassioned plea for a Marvel video game!

Next time: Book club is back! We're reading the original "Howard the Duck" #1-8, 30 and 31. You can find these in the first two volumes of "Howard the Duck: The Essential Collections" or on Marvel Unlimited or probably through your local library! Have you been to the library recently? I bet they really miss you there.

The Hickman era of the X line is over. Long live the X line! It's no surprise we love the X line at the moment and so it should be no surprise that we wanted to celebrate the departure of the Head of X in style. It's time to talk legacy, Hickman, and the past three years of X books. Come on down and see if your list of X books lines up with Jaina or Elias' in this final Baseline X. Or about as final as anything gets with superhero comics. Don't worry: we'll have a new #1 soon enough.

Next book club: We're reading the original "Howard the Duck" #1-8, 30 and 31. You can find these in the first two volumes of "Howard the Duck: The Essential Collections" or on Marvel Unlimited or through your local library if they have it. I'd have directed you to ComiXology too but Amazon recently decided to eat it whole and I'm still mad.
