Podcasts about Weapon X

For this episode, the Bandits welcome cartoonist, educator, and comics historian Jim Rugg for a wide-ranging discussion about his career, his love of comics history, and his latest book, Wolverine: Weapon X from Bloomsbury's Marvel Age of Comics series. Jim reflects on discovering comics, balancing creative work with criticism and education, and the lasting impact of Cartoonist Kayfabe on the comics community. The conversation then turns to Barry Windsor-Smith's legendary Weapon X storyline, exploring its groundbreaking storytelling, horror influences, artistic innovations, and enduring legacy in Wolverine mythology. Jim also discusses the process of analyzing a classic work from both a creator's and scholar's perspective, offering readers fresh insights into one of Marvel's most influential comics and why it remains essential reading decades after its original publication. You can pick up Wolverine: Weapon X wherever you get your books and much of Jim's other work at his site, jimrugg.com. Follow him on Instagram @jimruggart. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When Skybound announced M.A.S.K. would be joining the Energon Universe, fans immediately had questions. How would Matt Trakker and Miles Mayhem fit alongside Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Void Rivals? Out this week, we sat down with writer Dan Watters and artist Pye Parr to discuss updating the classic property, designing its iconic vehicles, and why M.A.S.K. offers a unique perspective within the larger Energon Universe. We're running the full uncut interview, featuring even more discussion on cool cars, character dynamics, action sequences, and what readers can expect from the series moving forward. Plus, we recap the biggest comics news of the week, share our favorite new releases, and much more.

Joe, Transformers, and its own thing. What aspects of the original property were most important to preserve, and where did you see opportunities to reinvent it for the Energon Universe? Matt Trakker's introduction is fascinating because he's being hunted by the military, yet it quickly becomes clear he wants to be captured. Why was that the right way to introduce him, and what does it reveal about who he is in this version of M.A.S.K.? Miles Mayhem comes across as both calculating and completely unhinged. His fear of Transformers and extraterrestrial threats gives him a very different motivation than a typical villain. What interested you about making him someone who might see himself as humanity's last line of defense? One of the most exciting ideas in M.A.S.K. has always been vehicles transforming into weapons and armor systems. Pye, what was the challenge of updating those iconic transformations for modern audiences while still capturing the toyetic fun fans expect? Dan, after writing Destro, what was appealing about tackling another corner of the Energon Universe? Did your experience with Destro help shape how you approached M.A.S.K., or did you want this book to have a completely different flavor? The first issue hints at a larger arms race involving technology and weapons that may not even originate on Earth. How much of M.A.S.K. is a spy thriller versus a science-fiction story, and where does it fit tonally alongside Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Void Rivals? Bruce Sato and Gloria Baker are positioned as key new recruits. What qualities do they bring to M.A.S.K. that complement or challenge Matt Trakker's leadership style? The original M.A.S.K. comic debuted in 1987 and had a very different view of global threats and military organizations. Were there any specific elements from that era that you deliberately updated to reflect modern anxieties and geopolitics? Fun question: If you could each claim one M.A.S.K. vehicle and mask from the entire franchise to use in real life for a week, which would you pick and what completely irresponsible thing would you do with it?

 In this episode of The Snap Chat, Alex welcomes back long-time creator Bynx to discuss the current state of Marvel Snap, touching on Bynxs' new content series and the community's urgent desire for Series Drops to fix the bloated Series 4 and 5 economy. The duo dives deep into the "Weapon X" season reviews, analyzing Weapon H as a fun but skippable addition for Discard loyalists, while expressing skepticism about the new "Hybrid" Discard/Destroy cards, Marrow and Wild Child, which feel too niche despite strong stats. The excitement peaks with Maverick, a 4-star pick for Surfer decks, and especially the Fastball Special, which earns a rare 5-star rating from Binks for its incredible potential to revitalize Galactus and Nimrod strategies. The conversation wraps up with a mailbag segment on the Grand Arena event, where the hosts praise the concept of pre-made decks but critique the poor balance execution, ultimately suggesting a hybrid format to improve future limited-time modes.

Welcome to All New All Different X Is For Comics: An X-Men Podcast! We've traveled through the X-Men in the 70s, 80s, and the greater Marvel Universe; made stops in DC, and even the Amalgam and crossover universes. And after all those stories, we're ready to return home to the place where it all started: the X-Men comics we love! We're going to jump back into regular coverage of classic X-Men stories, starting with the 1998 relaunch and moving into some of our all time favorite runs, like New X-Men by Morrison, X-Treme X-Men by Claremont, X-Statix by Milligan and Allred, and 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.
