We explore her latest role in Marvel Rivals, unpack the evolution of her iconic X-fashion, and share our dream casting for Emma Grace Frost in the MCU—plus why we think Emma Roberts would be the perfect choice.

The boys kickoff Pride in the only way they know how: by assuming every character in the comics is gay. Ms Marvel is time traveling, Jonathan Hickman creates a new era of galactic politics maybe, and they get crazy about how many AIs are in Vision Quest (and don't need to be). They also talk about Peter David and his incredible work.

You stepped in for Tom Taylor on this annual—can you walk us through how that came about? Was this a story you had to write quickly, or did you have some room to breathe and make it your own? 2. The story kicks off with a classic locked-room mystery—an impossible murder in a high-tech safe room. What drew you to that kind of puzzle, and how did you approach building a detective narrative worthy of Batman?3. There's a moment where Batman's costume subtly shifts from black to blue once he's in London. Is that just a visual cue, or is there something more symbolic going on there?4. What's your take on the annual format? Do you see it as a chance to tell something self-contained and weird, or a pressure cooker to do a lot in a single oversized issue?5. You're working with a trio of incredible artists—Stefano Raffaele, John McCrea, and Fico Ossio. How did you decide who handled which parts of the story, and what did each artist bring to the table stylistically?6. This annual flirts with the idea of Batman not just solving crimes but confronting the nature of reality. How far is too far for Batman, in your mind, when it comes to stories that push past the physical world?7. UK mythology and angels? John Dee's magic - Elizabethan 8. Maybe the most important question of them all, what is Batman's favorite tea and how does he take it?

This week the boys discuss Marvel Secret Wars by Jonathan Hickman, Alan Tuck, the Sci-Fi Network and more!

Living Hell introduces readers to Jerome Jameel—a husband, father, and demon who has escaped Hell to start a new life on Earth. What inspired you to create a protagonist with such a complex duality?​2. The series blends elements of humor, heart, and darkness, drawing comparisons to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Good Omens. How did you approach balancing these tones within the narrative?​3. As both the writer and artist for Living Hell, how did your creative process evolve when developing the visual style to complement the story's supernatural themes?​4. The concept of Hell as a prison where demons have lived in exile is intriguing. Can you elaborate on your interpretation of Hell and how it influences the characters' motivations?​5. Jerome's encounter with a bounty hunter from Hell sets the plot in motion. Without giving too much away, what can readers expect from this confrontation and its impact on Jerome's new life?​6. Living Hell is your creator-owned debut. What challenges and rewards have you experienced in bringing your own vision to life through this series?​7. The series is described as a four-issue miniseries. How did you structure the storyline to ensure a satisfying arc within this format?​8. (Fun/Silly Question!) If you were a demon escaping Hell to live incognito on Earth, what profession would you choose to blend in, and why?​

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, the new animated series created by Jeff Trammell, imagines a branch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe where Peter Parker was never supposed to be bitten by that genetically altered spider–until he was. Cue wacky high school shenanigans, as a number of key changes from the comics and other shows/movies cause that butterfly effect to start flappin' its wings. Paul, Arlo, and forever guest Eric Sipple discuss how Trammell and company capture the spirit of the early Ditko/Lee comics, praise the vibrant animation, consider whether these iterations of the Osbornes are definitive, and much more. Plus, the gang pays tribute to Val Kilmer, there are new teasers for Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld and Superman, Arlo's been reading some more of the Kirby/Lee Fantastic Four, and Jonathan Hickman's Ultimate Spider-Man is the best Spidey book on the stands.   NEXT: we yare what we yare, and what we yare is discussing Robert Altman's 1980 take on Popeye for a new That Was Then.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:35  -  Intro / WAY TOO MUCH BANTER!!! 00:50:38  -  Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man 02:04:30  -  Outro / Next   MUSIC “Neighbor Like Me” by The Math Club “Across 110th Street” by Bobby Womack, Across 110th Street (1973)   GOBBLEDYCARES National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/  Abortion Funds in Every State: https://bit.ly/AbortionFundsTwitter Support AAPI communities and those affected by anti-Asian violence: https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/stop-aapi-hate Support the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund: https://aapifund.org/ Support Black Lives Matter and find anti-racism resources: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ The Trevor Project provides information and support to LGBTQ youth: thetrevorproject.org Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org/  National Center for Transgender Equality: transequality.org Advocate for writers who might be owed money due to discontinuance of royalties: https://www.writersmustbepaid.org/  Help teachers and classrooms in need: https://www.donorschoose.org/ Do your part to remove the burden of medical debt for individuals, families, and veterans: https://www.unduemedicaldebt.org/  Register to vote: https://vote.gov/

Four-score and 157 episodes ago, we are back in the world of Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben as we ask what if the Fantastic Four all had the same powers? We start off with yet another telling of their origin story in Mythos: Fantastic Four by Paul Jenkins & Paolo Rivera before jumping into our central issue by Jimmy Valentino that features Sue becoming Man-Thing, the FF as members of SHIELD, Johnny as Mr. Fantastic and the FF accidentally killing a baby. Yes, a baby. We wrap up with Jonathan Hickman's revolutionary soft-reboot of Marvel's first family leading into the decade long arc of Secret Wars, which seems prime to be a touchstone for the upcoming First Steps. Grab your headphones and power of choice and join us! Ep. 157 What if the Fantastic Four all had the same power?from What If Vol. 2 #11 (Marvel, 1990)Find us at https://linktr.ee/dearwatchersWe are back in the world of both What If and the Fantastic Four that sees our heroes adopt new powers across a four-part issue from Image co-founder Jimmy Valentino. Before that, we kick things off with a beautifully painted version of the FF's origin story from the pen of Paul Jenkins and brush of Paolo Rivera. We end by discussing the FF's modern era courtesy Jonathan Hickman and Dale Eaglesham in a 2009 issue that kicks off the very long lead up to Secret War. Plus, we ponder why the Fantastic Four's origin store has been told so many times (or has it) and if the groups needs to have these specific powers.

This is something special that won't be replacing the regular show, a bonus where Nick and Cam go over comics from two different perspectives. First we'll take you through what makes these characters special in the first segment, and in the second, we'll really dig into one storyline or run. This time, we're talking about the Jonathan Hickman Run on Fantastic Four, which is the perfect thing to try out if you're excited about the movie or Marvel Rivals. We'll be back with our anniversary Episode soon! Tell us what you think of this experiment: pleasedontcast@gmail.com

We sit down with legendary writer Joe Casey to dive into his Uncanny X-Men run during the Grant Morrison era! From the bold introduction of Stacy X to navigating stories alongside New X-Men, Joe opens up about creative risks, fan reactions, and the legacy of that transformative time in X-history. We also chat about his work on WildC.A.T.s, America Chavez, and what it means to write bold, genre-pushing comics. A must-listen for comic fans! 

Words we thought we'd never say: We love Hank McCoy after this heart-breaking issue! This is the BEST Beast-centric issue!

What inspired you to delve into the concept of time's fragility and its impact on everyday life? ​The anthology format allows for diverse storytelling. How do you approach crafting each issue to ensure it offers a unique yet cohesive experience within the overarching narrative?​Ashley, introduced in issue #1, is a relatable character amidst the chaos. Can you share more about her development and the role she plays in grounding the story? Collaborating with artists like Eric Zawadzki brings a distinct visual style to the series. How does his artistic vision complement your storytelling, and what has the collaborative process been like? ​The series blends various genres and time periods. How do you balance these elements to maintain narrative coherence while keeping readers engaged?​In previous discussions, you've mentioned the importance of density in storytelling. How do you ensure that each page is packed with meaningful content without overwhelming the reader? The theme of normalizing chaos is prevalent in the series. How does this reflect contemporary societal issues, and what message do you hope readers take away from it?​If you could witness any historical event firsthand, which one would you choose, and how might it inspire a future story in Assorted Crisis Events?​You've crafted 20th Century Men and The Ultimates. How has your experience with those projects influenced your approach to Assorted Crisis Events? ​How is it juggling multiple books?In The Ultimates #10, the Red Skulls—a neo-Nazi group—appropriate the Punisher's iconic skull logo. What motivated you to intertwine these specific symbols, and how do you perceive their combined significance within the narrative?Given your focus on individual character narratives, are there contemporary societal issues you aim to explore through specific characters in future issues?​In Absolute Martian Manhunter, you've described the series as a "radical reinvention" of the character, blending psychological horror with superhero elements. Could you elaborate on the creative challenges and freedoms you've encountered in crafting this narrative within DC's Absolute Universe?
