In this action-packed episode of the Unspoken Issues Podcast, Jesse, Evan, and Chris take a nostalgic dive into one of Marvel's most delightfully chaotic storylines: The Amazing Spider-Man's six-part "Round Robin: The Sidekick's Revenge"! Covering issues #353–358 from 1991, the crew shares memories, hot takes, and plenty of laughs as they revisit a time when superhero crossovers were loaded with guest stars, questionable puns, and pure '90s energy.
Join the discussion as Chris reveals why this story was a must-cover for him, reminiscing about his childhood love for Darkhawk and Amazing Spider-Man. Meanwhile, Jesse experiences the entire saga for the first time, offering fresh reactions to everything from Mark Bagley's early artwork to Al Milgrom’s dialogue—some of which lands... and some of which definitely doesn't! Evan brings the humor, wondering aloud how Moon Knight ever thought training a sidekick was a good idea.
The trio unpacks the Secret Empire's ridiculous amount of hidden bases, marvels at the sheer amount of accidental victories and botched plans, and laughs about Spider-Man's worst one-liners. From Punisher’s stealth antics to bagel jokes that aged like fine (or maybe not-so-fine) wine, this episode is a love letter to a wonderfully over-the-top era of Marvel comics.
