Show notes provided by Joe Peluso Hey PILGRIM strap on your web-shooters and get ready to sling back to the "swingin' sixties" and join James and Joe as they trek down to that special corner once again, and this time are transported back to the spring of 1966. What's so special about this tie-dyed season? What fantastic forces dropped them in the flower-power era? Would youbelieve everyone's favorite "friendly neighborhood" superhero? Appearing on newsstand and spinner racks across the nation, in May and June of that year were issues #39 and #40 of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN--and Peter Parker's life would never be the same again! It's the classic two-parter that delivers monumental mayhem, and the most awesome avalanche of senses-shattering thrills when Spidey and his arch nemesis--The Green Goblin--throw down for a raucous rumble that rocks The Big Apple! This one has it all: action, mystery, suspense, soap opera,comedy--and calamity! James and Joe employ their "spidey-senses" to bring you an inciteful, fun review of two--just two--comic books that quantified who our favorite "web-head" was back when. And then, how this adventure informed the choices made decades later by Sam Rami and others, as the kid from Queens swung onto the big screen. Stan Lee, and newly arrived penciler, John Romita Sr.create amarvelous masterpiece of four-color ferocity that will blow your mind! We think this trip to that special corner was well worth thetrip.So to quote Stan "The Man"--ENJOY!!!

Show Notes provided by Joe Peluso Episode art proved by Richie Garofalo Episode edited by Adrienne Garofalo "Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!--No! It'sanother Superman origin!" Just before the onset of the ill-conceived New 52 Reboot, DC Comics tapped Geoff Johns and Gary Frank to delivera post-Infinite Crisis retelling of The Man of Steel's beginnings.Paying homage to past iterations of the character from across all media, yet delivering fresh and innovative choices to the lore, this pair of creatives crafted a compelling, fun read that reminded fans--new and old--why they adore the skies that Superman soars through. Join your hosts Keith and Joe for another Comics Comics of rediscovery, and reminiscenes. From the doomed planet Krypton, to the wavering wheat fields of Smallville, to the sky scratching spires of Metropolis the guys examine in detail this mini-epic of the world's greatest hero's beginnings. Comparisons to John Byrne and Mark Waid origin epics are discussed. How much did the TV show Smallville inform the choices made by Johns and Frank? Was this a soul-searching emotional story of self-discovery, or a towering tale of inspiration?And what the heck was in those Lex Corp donuts that Rudy Jones scarffed down? All comic book aficanadoes have their favorite characters, and all Superman devotees have a Last Son of Krypton origin they treasure."Superman: Secret Origin" is one of those classic gems. Back to the days when radio brought to life hours of dramatic entertainment to millions of avid American listeners, one phrase was often heard that thrilled both young and old alike--"UP! UP! AND AWAY!"

Show notes provided by Joe Peluso It's a hot and humid New York July day, in the summer of 1974. You have just graduated high school and are getting ready to attend your first semester of college in September. But first things first! This week's new comics are out on the stands. The stands on this day is located at the intersection of Lefferst Bvld. and Jamaica Aves in Queens NY. Among the books you snatch from the rack is a diamond in the rough--INCREDIBLE HULK #181. On the cover, of course, is the "jade giant", and some little guy attired in yellow and blue (with ferocious claws) taking a swipe at ol' "jade jaws"! And comic book history is made! Join you hosts James and Joe for a special Comics Corner salute to the first appearance of The Wolverine! The boys do a deep dive into issue #181, the set up in issue #180, the talented creatives who gave birth to this pop-culture phenomenon, and his place in X-Men lore. Sit back, maybe pop open a brewski, and recall why this man is the best at what he does.
Show Notes provided by Joe Peluso "POW!" "BAM!" "ZAP!" The incredible iconography that best represented the bombastic battles that were willfully waged across the pulse-pounding pages of the Silver Age of Comics! Hop on your comic treadmills and join Richie and Joe for a raucous race back to the swingin' sixties as they pay tribute to the men and women who brought to life the four-color images that defined an unparalleled era of comic book art! From Jack "The King" Kiby to "Genial" Gene Colan, from the ultra-realistic renderings of Neal Adams to the "strange" designs of Steve Ditko, and a plethora of pages and panels that thrilled a generation of boys and girls, you will embark on a journey of wide-eyed wonderment as related by two guys who purchased their "funny books" off a spinner rack! That's right, a creaking wire, metal rack that every time it was turned could summon a swarm of crows! Bring a scorecard to this podcast pilgrim! You are gonna need it to keep track of all the artists Rich and Joe praise with enthusiastic embellishments! To coin a phrase: "Face it, tiger, you just hit the jackpot!"
Show Notes provided by Joe Peluso: Spoken in disgust by Superman to Lex Luthor from the classic film Superman: The Movie."You diseased maniac." Yes, it's a great line. But as Keith points out in this new Mint episode, it's also a reverential line delivered by Supes to Lex in Mark Waid and Leinil Francis Yu's, "Superman: Birthright". The 2003 iteration of The Man of Steel's origin that pays homage to the past while propelling The Last Son of Krypton into the future. Join your hosts Keith Tarnowski and Joe as they do a deep dive into the 12-issue maxi-series that would spark interest and controversy when it hit the local comic shops twenty years ago. Was this most recent retelling, of arguably the world's most famous fictional character fresh, or was it an Earl Scheib $99.95 auto paint job? (Got a feeling only Richie Garofalo and I know that reference?) As the boys examine this work, pop-culture references both pertinent and paradoxical abound. Strap in folks for a lively hour of Superman lore--and if I may coin a new term--"explosive headcanon". This one has it all!

Show Notes provided by Joe Peluso Well, it's time for another Comics Corner, but a word of caution first: Sometimes when you wander down to the corner in the dark you can get lost. A wrong turn or misstep might lead you to "the nexus of all realities", a murky place of stifling humidity and fearful denizens. An ancient area that is home to the muck-encrusted monster men have FEARfully named--THE MAN-THING! Join your hosts James and Joe as they dare to traverse the stagnant waters and gnarled foliage of the swampland that is the doorway to horror, mystery, and mayhem. Creatures large and small, sorcerer and wizards, and evil elitist corporatists repeatedly attempt to invade the realm of The Man-Thing and learn to their unforgettable horror the lesson that--"all who know fear burn at The Man-Thing's touch". Creatives Gerry Conway, Steve Gerber, Val Mayerick, Mike Ploog, and others gave life to their fevered dreams and spawned a classic comic book character that would stalk the dark corners of the Marvel Universe for the next half century! Be forewarned friends. Leave your fears behind when you tune into this episode--or you too might get burned!
Show Notes Provided By Joe Peluso Muck encrusted mire! Fetid brackish waters swirling in putrid pools of pestilence! Misshapen monstrosities meandering menacingly through gnarled foliage and slithering creatures! The incessant chittering of avians in the cloying blackness. Who would dare enter such a world? And even more unbelievably, who makes such a horrific realm their home? If it's The Bronze Age of Comics, and DC has tasked Len Wein and Bernis Wrightson to scare the bejabers out of their audience, then the master of this macabre manor of the bayou is THE SWAMP THING! Join your hosts James and Joe for another segment of The Comics Corner. The guys leap from their fan boat to the relative safety of the muddy shore and dive (Oops, poor choice of words!) into the early issues of one of the great horror comics of the early 1970s. Monsters, mutants, werewolves, and witches (and even a Bat-Man) encounter a shambling "man-monster" who seeks his (its?) lost humanity. Two young creators begin their journey to legendary status with tales of horror, adventure, and pathos that would leave comic readers breathless. Thanks to Len and Bernie, Swamp Thing set the comic book world on its ear back in the day! This episode was long overdue. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. P.S. If you stick around to the end, you will discover why The Swamp Thing is playing third base in Joe's twisted headcanon. "What? We're not discussing horror?"

Show Notes Provided by Arco Esposito We all love the X-men right? So many great characters through the years, so many great stories. What's your favorite X-men storyline? The awesome age of apocalypse? The heartbreaking fatal attractions?? Or maybe it's the insane Inferno?? Well those are all amazing of course but what if I told you that there was one storyline that came years before them all and is STILL as impactful today as it was in 1980?? That's right true believers, that's the year Stan “the Man” Lee blessed us with The Dark Phoenix Saga, a nine issue comic masterpiece from the epic creative team of Chris Claremont and John Byrne. Join James, Joe and myself (Arco) as we take the deepest dive into the origins of the fieriest of redheads, The Phoenix! But wait!! There's more!! We not only go back to the start of the Dark Phoenix saga, we gleefully take you away to where we find our favorite mutant heroes in their darkest hour (til that point anyway). Listen in to the joy we had bringing you this special episode and I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did!

Show Notes provided by Joe Peluso When it's time to literally bring one Of DC's classic heroesback to Earth, it might be wise to choose a super-star creative team. Starting with issue #172 (vol 1) of Green Lantern, legendary creatives Len Wein and Dave Gibbons traverse the cosmic void, from Oa to Earth, to chronicle the adventures of the Silver and Bronze Age "emerald warrior"--Hal Jordan! Hal is back on terra firma, but there's no time for a walk in the park. When old and new associates--friends and foes alike--are more than "happy" to welcome back a wandering space cop, is there any downtime to be had? Can you go home again? (Apologies to Thomas Wolfe) Join your hosts James and Joe for a special Comics Corner, as they explore a somewhat forgotten period in the publishing history of Green Lantern! And stick around as the guys review the remarkable careers of Len and Dave. You might be surprised.

This week the boys are talking Mister Miracle, other Tom King books, the writers strike, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and more!
