We thought it was time we gave some love to a Marvel big event, so we’re heaping our hopes onto the shoulders of Drax the Destroyer and the one and only Nova. We start things off reading book one and discussing the importance of abusive mothers, overactive artists, and the Worldmind’s inability to get Star Wars jokes.

Our Spider-Man series finishes on a high note, with “Kraven’s Last Hunt.” Written by J.M. DeMatteis and drawn by Mike Zeck, it’s possibly one of the best comic books we’ve ever read, an in-continuity cross-title tale that tromps all over the hallowed literary ground of stand-alones and graphic novels. From the narrative structure, to the delicately balanced art, we audibly salivate over the goodness of this book. For more information on past or future shows, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!
One of Spider-Man’s most popular villains, Venom’s a dynamic character who has lasted through decades of different iterations. We read the comic that established him as a unique character in the Marvel universe, for better or for worse, with “Spider-Man vs. Venom” by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane. This episode is chock-full of discussion about questionable art, pun-fraught 80’s writing, and more than a little innuendo.
