The Brothers Marvel

The Avengers just seem a bit out of place on top of a train.

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby can’t seem to get enough of the Avengers battling the rampaging Hulk, having Earth’s Mightiest Heroes chase after him again in January 1964, and 54 years later, we decided to talk about it.

This is the 71st episode of The Brothers Marvel podcast, in which we discuss Avengers No. 3, featuring poor battle strategy from Namor and the Hulk, a terrible act of stream pollution and Tony Stark’s fancy fire-engine red tuxedo.
