Welcome to Marvel Saga, a team-up podcast from the creative minds behind Comic Reflections and the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!

Comic Reflections, hosted by Nicholas Prom, looks at comics from the Silver and Bronze Ages. The Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, co-hosted by Jerry McMullen, is a weekly show looking at comics, movies, and TV shows with reviews, previews, and interviews.

In this episode, Thor is on trial, the Fantastic Four feel helpless, the Hulk is rescued by Talbot, Peter Parker gets his diploma, and the Avengers are seeking new members to join the team.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, we swing into the final issues of our Spider-Verse read-along of the Marvel event from 2014. You know, that webbed event with Peter, Miles, Ben, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Ham and more that led to the Academy Award winning movie, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Strap in because the final reads are action packed! Who lives? Who dies? Who gets to go home? These questions and many more will be answered in the following books:

• Amazing Spider-Man #12-#15
• Spider-Man 2099 #7 & #8
• Scarlet Spiders #2 & #3
• Spider-Verse Team-Up #3

We have our Pick 3 choices for books coming out next week at your local comic book shops. John does his best to stump Jerry and Cullen with his pick for March 6. For the record, he is not picking Fartnite.

We wrap things up with Cullen's recap of Wizard World Portland. Hanging out with Scott Koblish, getting a picture taken with Chelsea Cain, and hanging out at a comic book store to meet Brian Michael Bendis and friends. Who said starting a comic book podcast wouldn't pay off for us?

As this podcast goes up, we are now four weeks away from Planet Comicon. You can find us at the Hero Initiative booth, or hosting panels with comic guests. Be sure to check out the WCPE panel on Saturday morning at 10:30. We have a lot of awesome prizes to give away.

Welcome to Marvel Saga, a team-up podcast from the creative minds behind Comic Reflections and the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!

Comic Reflections, hosted by Nicholas Prom, looks at comics from the Silver and Bronze Ages. The Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, co-hosted by Jerry McMullen, is a weekly show looking at comics, movies, and TV shows with reviews, previews, and interviews.

In this episode, the Stranger declines an invite, the Fantastic Four suffer a loss, Thor absorbs mighty blows from a man, Doctor Strange is on the run, Nick Fury picks up the S.H.I.E.L.D., and we take a look at the many loves of Peter Parker.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, Cullen and Jerry sit down with legendary comic creator Karl Kesel to discuss his book Section Zero.

But wait... There is no Section Zero!

Karl and artist Tom Grummett first launched Section Zero on an imprint label with Image Comics. The project was put on hold due to other commitments by the creators, until finally it was brought back out last year with a very successful Kickstarter campaign.

Section Zero reads like a love letter to Jack Kirby, reminiscent of the comics filled with adventure and action. A government team tracks down the unusual, from UFOs and dinosaurs to aliens and monsters. You know you want to read this, right?

Well, good news for you then, as Image Comics will be releasing (or is that re-releasing?) Section Zero beginning in April. Be sure to tell your local comic shop to hold a copy or two for you!

We have our Pick 3 choices for books coming out next week at your local comic book shops. John phoned in his pick for the week, and Cullen struggled to guess Jerry's pick despite a lot of clues.

Remember you can find Cullen at the Hero Initiative table at Wizard World Portland, which runs February 22-24, 2019. Cullen will be hosting artist Scott Koblish, who's most recent work includes runs on Despicable Deadpool and Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows.

On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!:

We discuss the retirement announcement from legendary creator George Pérez. Due to his ongoing health issues, George announced over the weekend that he will be stepping away from future comic work. All three of us have grown up reading his comics, and we all have had the pleasure of meeting him in person multiple times. We share our thoughts on his career, our favorite runs, and even our favorite covers done by Pérez.

We have our Pick 3 choices for books coming out next week at your local comic book shops. It doesn't happen often, but we did not pick a single book from Marvel or DC. Instead, we have picks from Dark Horse, IDW and Image Comics. Can you guess our picks?

We finish things up with a look ahead at the solicits for books coming out in March. It's not too late to let your local shop know what you want to pick up. We give you our highlights of books we want to read this spring.

Remember you can find Cullen at the Hero Initiative table at Wizard World Portland, which runs February 22-24, 2019. Cullen will be hosting artist Scott Koblish, who's most recent work includes runs on Despicable Deadpool and Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows.

So you may not have seen this on your calendar this week, but Wednesday, January 16, was National Nothing Day. Completely true. Couldn't make this up if we tried. It was very appropriate, because as we did a check in our group chat, the general consensus was that we had nothing to talk about this week. Nonetheless, we persisted in talking about something for well over an hour.

Of course, you will get your Kansas City and Portland weather updates. We skipped over the old man aches and pains section of the show -- sorry to disappoint all five of you who enjoy hearing about our ailments. We know who you are!

We've got our Pick 3 choices, sponsored each and every week by Clint's Comics. This week, Cullen & John try to guess Jerry's pick. It took a couple of tries, but they finally succeeded. Yay, team!

We run down some recent reads. Jerry bunkered down during the first storm of January with both his new books and John's new books, and did a lot of reading of paper comics. John and Cullen opted for some digital reading on Comixology and Marvel Unlimited.

We all got to watch the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer that debuted earlier in the week. Given Spider-Man's last appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he seems to be feeling much better. We are already counting down the days to the release of the movie in early July.

We have another giveaway this week! Who wants a copy of the new Conan the Barbarian #1 signed by Jason Aaron? Well, tune in for the question and be the first to respond.

We wrap things up with a look ahead to the AFC Championship game being played at Arrowhead Stadium for the first time EVER! We are concerned that first-fan-of-the-show James Taylor appears to be rooting for the team from New England. Our best guess is that James has been kidnapped and replaced with a Skrull.
