On today's episode, we're back from our hiatus and talk through our thoughts on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Today we discuss Issues 1-4 of Tom King's "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" from 2021. It's a great story that's been cited as being an influence on the upcoming DCU Supergirl movie.

Today we're trying something different and packaging our Alex and Drew Rank the MCU portion of the episode into its own episode to see if people would prefer it to be offered that way.

Today we discuss Issues 5-8 of House of M from 2005. It's a great story that surely influenced WandaVision and Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.

Today, we talk through the first 3 issues of Tom King and Greg Smallwood's new comic series, The Human Target. It's great, you really need to read it.

Today, we're back with Season 5 and we're talking about Black Adam, Black Panther, Werewolf By Night, and Thor Dark World.

In today's episode, we break down the recent event, Devil's Reign. (A run that is sure to have an impact on the future phases of the MCU).

So a short break turned into almost 6 months. Sorry about that. (shrug guy emoji), But we're back, and we're gonna get back on our weekly episode drops (on Mondays), and we're coming back this season Audio Only, (at least for a while).

In today's episode, we have our final installment for Black History Month with the emotionally gripping, "Truth: Red, White, & Black", which follows several characters, including Isaiah Bradley. Which, if you watched the recent Disney + show "Falcon and Winter Soldier", you saw was a forgotten/covered-up Captain America back in the 40's. We don't want to give it all away here, but trust us, it is worth the read!!

In the second of todays double drops, we introduce you to Riri Williams, also known as Iron Heart. This exciting character began her life in Marvel History by reverse engineering the Iron Man suit and eventually went on to be a part of The Champions. This series picks up a little bit after her last fight while a member of The Champions. She is balancing her time between MIT and Chicago, and throughout all of this, someone is interested in her. Or more specifically, something... The Ten Rings.

Today we're dropping 2 episodes (to make up for missing a week of black characters and creators for Black History Month). Our first drop is "Far Sector", which drops a brand new Green Lantern out in the far reaches of the universe to look into the first murder in hundreds of years. This series is a 12 issue arc, but we'll only be covering the first half in depth, hoping that you will choose to pick up a copy for yourself and read this great addition to DC's lineup.

Between car trouble and hectic schedules we weren't able to meet to record a normal episode this week. But we were able to record a few solo things that we wanted to share. So on today's episode, Alex starts with an intro into a "Discord Exclusive" offering of a Marvel: Civil War Read Along. Listen to what Alex has to say and then join the Discord to participate! Discord! https://discord.gg/mbMw2mxtUu 

In today's episode, the first of our Black History Celebration, we cover the beginning of the 2016 Black Panther run, and also a quick synopsis of the beginning fo the 2018 story as well. (Haha, we had a bit of a mixup due to the similarities of the cover art for the two runs.)

I can't believe we made it! 100 Episodes! (Well technically, we hit 100 a few episodes back, but early on we had a few mini-sodes that I didn't number, so it messed our numbering up, and for whatever reason, our "channel trailer" episode counts as #1 even though we considered it #0, so if you've been listening on Apple Podcasts, the number we've given episodes has never matched the A.P.#...Well, we're gonna rectify that starting with next episode, shifting to "Legacy Numbering"

 In today's episode, the final installment of "Spider-Month", we drop in on Miles Morales to see what he's up to. Though this isn't his origin story, which happened in Marvel's "Ultimate Universe", it's his first run on Earth 616, (after the events of Secret-Wars). This is an excellent run, and even has an issue that happens in "Civil-War 2", though you can happily read this issue without fear of any spoilers.

 On today's episode, we cover a great recent jumping on point into Spider-Man with 2018's Back to Basics! Over the span of a handful of issues, we get introductions to a bunch of Spidey's enemies and an interesting twist along the way.

In today's installment of Spider-Month, we dig into "Spider-Man: Blue". This is a great run to give you a little taste of a handful of Spidey's villains and Peter Parker's relationships. Told from the point of view of an older, wiser Peter, this story is full of heart and the struggles that make Spider-Man the great hero he is.

 Today, in our second installment of "Spider-Month", we cover one of the stories that seems to make everyones favorite Spidey stories lists: Kraven's Last Hunt.

 In Today's Episode, the first of 2022, we make our first entry into our "Spider-Month" Event here on 2 Man Comic Book Club, with "One More Day", a story that we feel has definite parallels to No Way Home. 

On today's episode we talk through our thoughts on Spider-Man: No Way Home. If you haven't yet seen it, we strongly encourage you to watch it before listening to this episode, as we will be talking about it freely with spoilers galore.

Last year we celebrated the first 2 Man Christmas, with a gift exchange and a giveaway. This year we do that again but we also added the first ever 2 Man Secret Santa to help share the gift of comics between the fans of the show. On today's episode Alex, Drew, and Torrance exchange gifts and draw for the two winners of this years giveaway, and also talk about some New Year's Comic Resolutions. Grab some egg nog or hot cocoa and enjoy an episode of giving.

On today's podcast we wrap up our coverage of the 1986 masterpiece, "The Dark Knight Returns".

We finally talk Batman! Bruce Wayne! The Caped Crusader! The Dark Knight!

When I we first covered the first few issues of Hawkeye a while back we mentioned that we might come back to it. I didn't finish it right away, but eventually I did, and I came across a three issue arc that I dubbed "The Grills Trilogy", or "Grillogy", and I felt we had to cover it. We ended up needing to cover a few additional issues to really capture the essence of an unsung hero of this series, Grills.

In today's episode we cover the first 5 issues of Time Before Time, which are collected in volume 1 of the trade paperback. We really love this series and wanted to get you caught up on it so you can jump in and start reading it as it comes out! 

In today's episode we conclude our coverage of Eternals from 2021 with issues 4-6, in preparation for the MCU Eternals Film. Thanos is causing trouble, there seems to be some conspiracy action going on within the Eternals, and the world seems to be tearing itself apart. How will it all end?

 In today's episode we cover issues 1-3 of Eternals from 2021, in preparation for the MCU Eternals Film. We will be covering the first 6 issues in this series so read along and enjoy it with is!

In today's episode, we were testing out a new video recording setup and decided to talk through our Top 5 Most Underrated Superheroes. Maybe you agree with some of our choices, maybe you disagree. Join our Discord and let us know!

In today's episode, we go all the way back to the year 2000 to read one of the classic's of DC Comics, "Tower of Babel". We start today with issues 43 & 44, where Ra's Al Ghul is out to "save the world", in his own twisted way. To ensure his success, is has plans to take the Justice League out of play, and it seems to be working!

On today's episode we do a quick side-step from Mister Miracle to give you our thoughts on the new "The Suicide Squad" Movie.

We continue this week's episode with issues 7-9 of Mister Miracle from 2017 (though these issues happened in 2018). Issue 6 dropped quite the bombshell and we're here to pick up the pieces in the aftermath. We start with a bit of a time jump where we welcome a new member to the New God Family! War is still raging on between Apokolips and New Genesis. Will Mister Miracle be able to escape this one?

 In today's episode we resume our coverage of the 2017 Mister Miracle run with issues #4-6, where Scott is on trial for conspiring with Darkseid. In the most comical court setting I've seen in a while, Orion acts as judge, jury, and prosecutor. And that's just the first issue we cover in this episode. 

In today's episode we resume our coverage of the 2017 Mister Miracle run with issues #2 and 3, where we're thrown into a war on 4th world. Apokolips v. New Genesis.

 In today's episode we dig into the lore of a character who has been on our radar for a while. Mister Miracle. We've covered Tom King before when we read Vision, so we knew we were in for a treat. This series deals a lot with the "New Gods", created by Jack Kirby. We will give a little background before we begin, but the more you know about them the better!

We were so excited about this weeks premiere of Loki, that we wanted to talk a little about it.

Well we planned a short hiatus during a busy time in 2 Man Land, and then the short hiatus became a little longer and then a little longer. Now, roughly 2 1/2 months later, WE'RE BACK! 

In today's episode we dive into "Flashpoint" with a quick dive into "Reverse Flash #1" and issue 1 of the Flashpoint titled comic story. There are over 70 Flashpoint tie-in comics, but we're just covering the main story arc, with occasional mentions of the tie ins. Let's dig in!

In today's episode we speed through 5 issues of The Flash/Reverse Flash that set up the next story arc we'll be covering on the show, "Flashpoint". 

Things got really hectic in 2 Man Land this week and we realized that if we didn't record an episode Wednesday Evening, we wouldn't be able to before release day. I hadn't yet had a chance to read the Flashpoint comics we were going to cover, so instead of making our loyal listeners wait another week to hear our "beautiful" voices, we opted to do a freestyle episode.

In episode 58, we jump way back in time to Flash #123 from 1961 to talk about a really important issue in comic book history, "Flash of Two Worlds", and the birth of the multiverse!!

After the crazy bomb that was dropped on us in episode 5, we had to talk about it, so in this remote-recorded episode of the podcast, Alex and Drew discuss episodes 4-6 of Wandavision.

In this final episode covering the Vision run from 2015, we cover the last 3 issues. Everything comes to a dramatic conclusion and we strongly encourage you to read it before you listen to us cover it on the show!

We cover Star Wars and Marvel announcements in this episode, in addition to our "New Years Comic Resolutions, and our traditional "Whatyabeenreadinyo?" segment.
