Welcome Back to Make Mine Multiverse City: A Marvel Podcast! Each episode we'll be looking at Marvel books, old and new! We discuss fun Marvel comics, Marvel news, Marvel history and, now, are putting the "mine" back into Make Mine Multiverse City. Make Mine Multiversity was a twice-monthly podcast that premiered on the first and third Friday of every month. Now we're shooting for monthly every fourth Friday. How's that for calling my shot?We've got a new format to go with the new schedule! Each month, Elias will be talking with a guest about a Marvel comic that's memorable to them. Sometimes this will be personally meaningful, sometimes it'll be "I read this a few months ago and it's still sticking around." I'm excited to see where it leads.This month, we're welcoming my good friend and former Chief Manager at Large (don't call him EIC) of Multiversity Comics, Brian Salvatore, to the podcast to read "Fantastic Four" #347-349, published in late 1990. It's the one about the skrulls. And the mole man. You know the one. Oh, and I think The Punisher shows up?I should also mention we totally beefed it while talking about legacy characters. How could we have left off Miles Morales?! He's the example of a legacy character with staying power (kinda. Sorta. 616 monkey-wrenches the whole thing.) In our defense...okay, there's no good defense besides "whoopsie."Next time, a couple familiar voices join us as we tie-in with "One World Under Doom" and talk "Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment." Reading along with us? You've got options! The best one is "Doctor Strange" Epic Collection, Vol. 8: Triumph and Torment.Elias can be found writing here at eliasrwrites.ghost.io. Brian can be found on Bluesky ‪@brianneedsanap.bsky.social‬ or hosting a podcast on the Distinguished Competition, TheDC3Cast. Our theme music is “Excelsior” by Carol Romo and our audio editor is me, Elias. If the episode is too quiet, blame him.The show is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, (Stitcher is apparently dead and buried) and other places so please subscribe!
