Ep. 111: What is Planetary? (Reversal Episode)

This week, Zach is teaching Searnold all about the cult classic Wildstorm/DC series Planetary, from Warren Ellis and the late, great John Cassaday! From some evil Fantastic Four parodies to some awesome powers and next-level art, we’re breaking down everything that makes Planetary such a beloved and bizarre fan favorite comic series.

Ep. 110: What is Agatha Harkness Like in the Marvel Comics?

It’s a weird world we live in when Agatha Harkness has her own TV show. In this episode, we’ll discuss her major comic book appearances and leave you to guess which will make it into “Agatha All Along.” Will she be nanny to a young Franklin Richards? Will she help Scarlet Witch find her real mom? Is she 20,000 years old? Will Firestar make a cameo and convince her not to punish all of humanity in retribution for the Salem Witch trials? Will she accidentally turn the Darkhold into a little boy? Find out what any of that means by listening to this week’s Doombots Marvel Podcast!

Ep. 106: How Did Orchis Kill Every Mutant?

X has Fallen. The Fall of X is over. The first Krakoan era is over. So now we can finally talk about what happened. It all started one year ago when Orchis attacked the third annual Hellfire Gala. How did they do it? What convoluted plans enabled them to kill every mutant? Will there be long term relevant consequences?

Ep. 105: Who Will Cameo in Deadpool 3?

Deadpool vs. Wolverine is set to be the best Marvel movie yet (depending on how you define best). The assorted trailers and rumors have Zach and Searnold very excited, and they want to share that excitement with you! In what ends up amounting to a very long ad for the movie, Zach and Searnold discuss everything from Tayler Swift rumors to Cassandra Nova’s origins as a Shi’ar mummundrai and more. Searnold will also explain some of the comic book versions of characters we expect to cameo in the film. No pickles!
