Throughout all of our episodes, there’s an era of the web-head we haven’t entirely touched on: the class Stan Lee/Steve Ditko era that started it all! So, it’s time we changed that by discussing one of the most influential Spidey stories to ever exist. Tune in as Alec and Brian y’all recent comics, news, and of course, the famous storyline, “If This Be My Destiny!”
