Hey everybody, Jeremiah is back, and he and I have two more issues to talk about! But, these two issues are a little bit of a downer. Not because they're bad, but because they're the swan song for Len Wein and Jim Aparo, unfortunately. So, not only do we cover these two issues, but we also lament the departure of these two giants! As usual, if you'd like to leave any feedback for the show, you can do so through email at Magazinesandmonsters@gmail.com or to me on Twitter @Billyd_licious or on the show's FB page (just search Mahazines and Monsters). You can find Jeremiah on social media @bigox737 and his blog - comicscomicscomics.blog (and anything by SuperBlog TeamUp)! Thanks for listening.

Have a Nashville hot chicken sandwich with Robert Greenberger as we discuss our teen experiences at the first Star Trek convention in 1972, how TV taught him about the existence of Marvel Comics, the way George Reeves as Clark Kent made him want to be a journalist, the lecture Wonder Woman editor Robert Kanigher gave him after he dared give feedback, why so many DC Comics staffers walked around without their shoes on Fridays, how he convinced Cable News to launch Comic Scene magazine, the convoluted way Denny O'Neil was responsible for him becoming Len Wein and Marv Wolfman's assistant, how his editing of Star Trek comics led to his writing Star Trek fiction, the differences he saw in corporate culture while working at both Marvel and DC, what Clark Kent would have thought of his gig at the Weekly World News, and much more.
"There's always a choice. You're the one who taught me that." After giving us a glimpse of Wolverine's past in "Red Dawn," the stage was set for a full-length exploration in our very next episode. And with that, season two continues its globe-trotting, introspective character-driven features with a solo outing centered on the enigmatic Canadian X-Man. Notably, the extended flashback at the center of "Repo Man" pulls directly from Barry Windsor-Smith's 1991 Marvel Comics Presents serial, "Weapon X." Violent and atmospheric, this adaptation can't help but suffer in comparison due to the necessity of reigning in the comic's harsher elements for Saturday morning consumption. Beyond that, "Weapon X" had a tenuous relationship with the canon from its inception, with the story calling its own authenticity into question at various points. Nevertheless, "Weapon X" was so well-received that it stood for years as the most definitive account of Wolverine's origin. Later revelations and retcons would muddy the waters, but at this point, the animated series is guided by a very solid pedigree. The inclusion of Alpha Flight, while appreciated from a world-building standpoint, doesn't do this episode many favors in terms of clarity. Outside of shedding some light on Wolverine's past, the plot is concerned with linking two seemingly disparate milestones in Logan's history: how his skeleton came to be laced with adamantium, and his involvement with Alpha Flight. The shadowy, unscrupulous, ultra-militaristic Department H serves as the connective tissue, leading to an ultimately unsatisfying conclusion. If Department H was behind or had knowledge of the Weapon X Project, as the episode suggests, then Logan escaped their clutches by the skin of his teeth, only to soon thereafter coincidentally meet James Hudson, who happens to be the leader of Canada's premiere superhero team, and is brought in to join Alpha Flight, under the purview of... Department H. It begs the question as to how Wolverine was allowed to leave the team in the first place. (To say nothing for the fact that he was given the codename of the project that "created" him, a detail which makes little sense as either another absurd coincidence or as an inside joke by Department H... for the audience's benefit only.) Department H's connection to Weapon X seems like it should come as a major revelation, at least to Logan, but the script doesn't attribute any particular significance to this. Still, it's hard to fault the show for filling in logic gaps that the comics themselves had yet to address, given the time and resources allotted. Wolverine's mysterious past represents a corner of X-Men lore that somehow always manages to be more interesting in theory than in execution. Every resolution offered comes with its own set of brand new questions, and in that sense, "Repo Man" can be considered faithful to the spirit of Wolverine's role throughout the '90s. As a cohesive story, it is ultimately unsatisfying, but almost manages to stick the landing by way of momentum and novelty. It remains to be seen how sustainable that approach will be going forward. X-TRA: This episode was written by Wolverine co-creator Len Wein, his first of four such credits over the course of the series. It's a curious fit, given that Wein chronicled only Wolverine's earliest appearances when the character was effectively a blank slate. He therefore has the unenviable task of cobbling together pieces of a mythology which he had no hand in establishing. It's an admirable effort, and a credit to the production for reaching outside their usual pool of television writers.

We have made it through another year of podcasting and to celebrate we dive into something that has been talked about few times on this show. Almost 50 years ago a fanzine was created by a group of friends. This fanzine was called Outlooks it featured interviews some of comics top talent including Neal Adams, Len Wein, Marv Wolfman and more. It also featured reviews, opinions and artwork from some of the great talents of the time. One of Outlooks creators was our own Joe Peluso but also joining us is returning guest and another part of the Outlooks creative team Jim Chadwick. We hope you enjoy this episode and thank you for being a listener.

EPISODE 283: The Milksops begin their dive into Peter Milligan's early 2000s run on The Human Target. Created by Len Wein and Carmine Infantino in 1972 for DC Comics, the Human Target has had several runs over the years. The basic gist is this: if you're in danger of being killed, you can hire Christopher Chance who will dress up as you until he catches the killer! Very normal, simple strategy. In 1999, writer Peter Milligan and artist Edvin Biuković started a run which pushed the envelope of how far this story could go. For example, in this first story, Chance has an assistant who has gone so deep undercover he has forgotten he is in disguise. And that's just the tip of the iceberg in this complex, rewarded, thrilling four issue story. We learn that almost everyone we meet has a double life of some kind, and they're all trying to hide it for different reasons. By the end of the four issues, Milligan and Buikovic had established that this character was a great inspiration for terrific stories. Join us as we sample from this terrific run. ------- Subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com for bonus monthly episodes. Profits go to Hero Initiative and other comics-related charities.

It's been a long time... I am here. It was not a planned hiatus. We are good. Nothing dangerous or critical. Of course, I had to talk about the latest rap beef (It is dated). I geek out on Giant Size X Men (shout out to the late great Len Wein and Steve Cockrum) and talk about how even back then in 1975, it was woke af. I explain what I call the “Cosby Effect.” Free Palestine and we express solidarity to them and other oppressed peoples around the world.

"If there is truly a heaven, sweet Linda... I pray to God you're happy there... And there must be a heaven... because I know there is a hell... I'm living in that hell right now...!" We reach the end of the second season with "The Leviathan Conspiracy" wrapping up Len Wein's orignal run. Nestor Redondo supplies the art as Len Wein has revelations and twists to bring a conclusion to the storylines started in Issue #1. Eric Hanson from the Cradle to the Grave podcast returns to help discuss this important issue of one of the best comics of the 1970s.
