How do you humanize a Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing? Let Patton Oswald and Jordan Blum write a 4-issue mini-series about him! In this episode, we’ll discuss the comic “M.O.D.O.K. Head Games” and why it is the best M.O.D.O.K. story ever written. Oh, and also, what is a M.O.D.O.K.??? WARNING:This episode contains extreme spoilersContinue reading “Ep. 23: M.O.D.O.K. Marvel Offers Doombots Obscure Knowledge”

Who makes a better mom, a vampire or a shapeshifter? Do clones count as your children? What parental obligations do you have if your child is older than you are? Zach and Searnold will discuss these extremely common parenting concerns and more in our special Mother’s Day episode.

Marvel’s latest comic event, “King in Black” just wrapped up, and we’re gonna tell you all about it! In some ways, it started 3 years ago with Donny Cates’s run on “Venom.” In some ways, it started before the big bang. We’ll provide all the context you need to know, including a full review of 2019’s “Absolute Carnage” event, an examination of the Klyntar species, and whether or not Eddie Brock has a son (it’s more ambiguous than you’d think!)

In this listicle format episode, Searnold chose 25 pets from the Marvel universe to explain to Zach. We discuss which ones you may actually see in the MCU, which ones meet with an unfortunate demise, and why Searnold couldn’t narrow his list down to a reasonable number. PLUS! Zach has the biggest surprise he’s ever had on this podcast.

This episode really pitches itself. We’ll discuss the why and the how of it all, what it really means to be a monster, and Jeff the Landshark. Plus crossovers and black goo creatures! This episode has it all.

For the most part, The Winter Soldier movie was a faithful adaptation of his origin. But then he went off to an alien planet and fought his future son to prevent an elderly Loki from getting his hands on some hallucinatory drugs. Because comics! Don’t worry, Searnold & Zach will explain it all in this episode of Doombots!

What’s happening here? Why is everything backwards? Have we entered some sort of parallel universe? Listen up as Zach explains “Batman: Last Knight on Earth” to Searnold.

If you thought “Wandavision” was weird, just wait until Zach and Searnold tell you about the comics it is extremely loosely based on. No spoilers from the show included.

Not hype. Not hyperbole. It takes Searnold over an hour to fully express how good Immortal Hulk is. A follow-up to last week’s discussion with Mike Gray, this episode features life, death, kaijus, and some of the best horror art ever made.

Zach & Searnold talk to cartoonist Mike Gray about… comics. The conversation naturally finds itself twisting and turning all over the place, but in a good way. The main focus is the new “Immortal Hulk” comic by Al Ewing and Joe Bennet. We also talk about Civil War, the Marvel Unlimited App, and how we know that Zach’s 2-year-old is a reincarnated gangster.
