For your fourth visit to the Non-Stop Comic Shop, Jordan dives way back to the seriously silly Silver Age with his review of the Amazing Spider-Man #14. When the Green Goblin (in his first ever appearance, and riding a literal crotch rocket) convinces a Hollywood mogul named BJ to make a movie starring Spider-Man, the web-head is drawn into a trap set by the pitiful mobsters known as the Enforcers (who are not fully aware of what their name means). Also, the Hulk is there, because of reasons. After the break, the boys compare and contrast classic Batman: TAS episode “Harlequinade” with recent release Batman & Harley Quinn. Both feature Batman-Harley-Robin buddy cop triangles, unnecessary musical numbers, and sudden but inevitable betrayals. But which one threatens a nuclear apocalypse and which threatens a vegetable apocalypse? Which has the Joker leaving Harley to die and which has Disco Shrub leaving Harley hanging on the telephone? Which loves our website's favorite suffix and which loves hanging out at Super Hooters?
For your third visit to the Non-Stop Comic Shop, Jordan chronicles the rise and fall of one of his favorite supporting characters, lady hipster police captain Jean DeWolff. Witness her introduction from Marvel Team-Up #48-51 where she defeats an RC toy enthusiast and psychic micromanaged meat puppet! Gasp at her downfall, as foretold by the great sage Avril Lavigne! Finally, mourn her passing in The Death of Jean DeWolff, where Spider-Man joins forces with Detective Stan Carter, who's totally not her murderer ;) Guest starring: Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Daredevil, Nick Fury, Charles Xavier, Charles Bronson, and Bernhard Goetz! Also: will the Justice League's greatest foe turn out to be: Henry Cavill's mustache?
For your second visit to the Non-Stop Comic Shop, Jordan takes a hopeful look at Dennis Hopeless' recent run on Spider-Woman. After a brief detour into the Spider-Verse dodging Spider-People Eaters and meeting the God of Plot Convenience, Jessica Drew takes the case to defend a cabal of Z-List supervillains from their own ex-girlfriends. Will her sweet new motorcycle jacket and sub par charades skills be enough to prevail over a villain who tools around in Ellen Ripley's power loader? After the break, the boys welcome Peter Parker home with their review of Spider-Man: Homecoming where you'll find out: How well did Flash transition from “dumb jock bully” to “social media bully”? Why is Captain America the real guy in the chair? And what's Stan Lee's name now?
On the debut episode of the Non-Stop Comic Shop, your hosts Jordan and Brendan cut through the well-regarded (by 90's standards) Venom: Separation Anxiety. Eddie Brock is down one symbiote and up one Ken Ellis, the world's worst undercover journalist, but will that be enough to resist the symbiotic quintet we call Donna & the Skittles? Note: we call them that because the toy department hadn't gotten around to naming them yet. After the break, our review of the rock solid fourth season of Agents of SHIELD. Featuring: Ghost Rider in a car, a magic book written in binary, and a decent Matrix sequel!
