Two True Freaks

Comixology Sales have lead to the Palace Data Banks becoming full to bursting with shiny digital comics, mostly Spider-Man. Of these, the most recent release in the Masterworks range rose to the top, screaming "Read Me! Read Me!" So I did. Amazing Spider-Man Masterworks 19, covering issues 193-202, plus Annual 13, and Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man Annual 1 are poured over in obsessive and quite frankly redundant detail.

In episode 94 of the Man of Screen podcast, Mike Zummo continues his run through Season 2 of “Super Friends” with two more episodes of the famous shows initial season.

First the Marvin is going to get some visitors from outer space. Theyre going to land right in his back yard. And Batman is going to tell the world that theyre there. So what do these balloon people want? To escape pollution.

But will they be able to withstand the machinations of the worlds self-proclaimed smartest man, Noah Tall. Is he superior to “The Balloon People”.

Now, someone is stealing the governments plastic supplies. The delivery is late and Mike Rosescope is panicking. What do you do when your deliveries are late? You call the Justice League. Who doesnt?

So what exactly is missing? And where will we find, “The Fantastic FRERP”?

Next time: Two more Super Friends, episodes: “The Ultra Beam” and “The Menace of the White Dwarf”.

Also, Maggie, Enid and Michonne encounter a new face who may have the “Key” to the future survival of the human race. Its a rousing discussion of one of the better episodes of this season. Scott will be back next episode to rant again, dont fear, kids. So remember, no one gets to touch Lucille except for her man on your Fear the Walking Deadcast.

Too tired to write up anything sarcastic so I'll just say this episode's second segment might sound a little wonky. There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that given in the first segment though. Okay, time for some chili dogs now.
