X-Man #20 (1996)

X-MAN is about Nate, who looks like a Chad and has some serious telepathic / telekinetic powers. He’s probably related to Cyclops or Cable somehow but hell if we know what’s going on there. In this issue, he squares off against Abomination and some stereotypically New York sewer mutants over the safety of Threnody, a young careless mutant who stole Nate’s jacket.

The Outsiders [vol 2] #0 (1994)

Post Zero Hour, when everything’s all screwed up, Eradicator assumes leadership of the Outsiders team in LA. Halo embarrasses herself in front of the youth at the Beverly Center while Looker has a blood smoothie by the pool. Then they all head out of Central America somewhere to confront a white-haired Penn Jillette over the production of violence-fueled “hyper guns.” Eventually, they hook up with Felix Faust’s son and implode a warehouse in Las Vegas.

Marvel Spotlight #14 (1974)

Daimon Hellstrom returns home from a wild night of being a demon offspring to scare the hell out of his milkman. He gets a call to come to St. Louis to check out a local college’s communications building that has being haunted by ice demons living in the walls and messing with the college radio station playlists. This has been confirmed by the totally teetotaling janitor and some hippies who got hit in the face with their textbooks. Hellstorm then gets his ass kicked and forced to live in David Boreanaz's house.

Blackwulf #1 (1994)

This week, we delve into some random 90s excess with Blackwulf, Marvel’s attempt to get the Deviants over for a spell. Blackwulf ends up being two dudes - the rebellious Plops and the future monkey man Lucian. One guy’s got a glowing sword, the other has a glowing stick but neither has any charisma. At least there’s the potential for Blackwulf crew member Mammoth and his mini-series.

Because there weren’t enough hot takes out on the internet, Jen and Shawn drop their thoughts on the Zack Snyder cut of JUSTICE LEAGUE (2017). There’s some good, some bad but if there’s one silver lining in all of this, its the introduction of DC’s newest cinematic sensation, Slappy the Angry Sketch Artist!

Suicide Squad [vol 7] #1 (2021)

The current comic cavalcade continues as we check out what’s going on with DC and the Infinite Frontier. Turns out - more of the same with an incredibly handsome Rick Flagg facing off against badass Amanda Waller. We also got John Cena the Peacemaker breaking into Arkham with a few jobbers including Film Freak, a film school flunky with no apparent powers outside of maybe channeling Robert De Niro kicks from GOODFELLAS.

King In Black: Thunderbolts #1 (2021)

Look at us….covering a comic in the current decade!

The world - and specifically New York City - is covered in alien goo so Mayor Kingpin is like “I’ll do a Suicide Squad thing but even more corrupt.” So he grabs Taskmaster, Mister Fear and a few other jabronis and has them go find Norman Osborn and his weird hair to help them. We bear witness to goo dragon fights, some beheadings and a few witty comments along the way.

Secret Origins [vol 2] #21 (1987)

Two stories in one today as we first explore the origin of infamous cowboy corpse, Jonah Hex. Twisted curio collector Ian McKellan and hired goon Donal Logue are here to shake down Jonah’s elderly wife for rights to his stuffed corpse but ’92 Jeff Goldblum is here to save the day.

Then later, we learn about the original Black Condor. Starting out as an obese baby, Condor became irradiated by a meteor and learned to fly, going around fighting eagles and stuff. He makes his way to America where he assumes a senator’s identity despite only meeting, like, one other non-bird human in his entire life.

Jack Kirby’s Secret City Saga #2 (1993)

From the mind of a comic book legend comes the Secret City, a lost civilization from 15000 years ago that was buried under Chicago. Upon their re-emergence, the more nefarious citizens kidnap Bill Clinton and and have him replaced with a sarcastic shapeshifter. It’s up to the good guys — a Captain America wannabe, a woman with osteoporosis, a dude who hurls guns and a kid hellbent on vehicular homicide — to save the day.
