Ep. 78: What Happened During Secret Invasion?
Secret Invasion is coming to the MCU, so we’re going to talk about the comics it is ostensibly based on. We’ll talk about what it was like to read the event live, Dan Slott’s attempt to redeem Hank Pym, Brian Michael Bendis’ crafty plans, and why the event was ultimately a failure. We’ll also discuss a lot of really dumb names, featuring Game of Thrones!
Ep 77: What Is ‘Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’ About? (Also, Who Is Zelda? Or Link? What’s Hyrule?)
This week, we’re stepping away from the world of Marvel and into the world of Hyrule, with a breakdown/explainer of ‘The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.’ In fact, Zach’s never played a single ‘Zelda’ game ever, so Searnold is giving a very long (yet still incredibly brief) rundown of Zelda lore and complex timelines.
Ep 76: Who Are All the Spiders in the Spiderverse?
Every Spider-Man Ever! That’s how Marvel promoted the original Spiderverse comic, as a convergence of every iteration of Spiders-Mans that had ever existed across all media. This week, we’ll take a look at who those are and talk about the threat to the web of life and destiny that brought them together. Which ones are still hanging around in the main Marvel universe, and why doesn’t Miles get his own superhero identity? All these questions and more in this week’s episode of the Doombots Marvel Podcast!
Episode 75: What Is The Mystery Flesh Pit National Park?
Deep in the heart of Texas, near the small town of Gumption, is one of the greatest and most unique tourists destinations in America — at least, it used to be. The Mystery Flesh Pit National Park was a beacon for those looking for hiking, outdoor activities and trembling cosmic horror. This week, we delve into the mystery of the so-called Permian Basin Superorganism and how it got turned into a once-lucrative point of national interest.
Episode 74: How Are the Guardians of the Galaxy Different in the Comics?
With the release of the third (and final?) Guardians of the Galaxy movie, we thought it would be fun to examine the ways the Guardians are different in their comic book versions. We’ll talk about the original guardians from the years 1969 and 3000, and how their name transferred into the modern era via time travel. We’ll discuss Starlord’s connection to the Master of the Sun, and why his creator only wrote one story with him in it. We’ll talk about Rocket Raccoon’s origins in the pages of Incredible Hulk and discuss whether or not Drax is an expert saxophone player. Spoiler alert – yes he is.
Episode 73: What Do the Keys Do in ‘Locke & Key’?
In this reverse episode, (a very ill) Zach spoils the entire plot of Locke & Key to Searnold, and then they debate the merits of all the different keys that exist in the comic’s vast universe of stories!
Episode 72: Who is the Blue Marvel?
Dr. Adam Brashear was Marvel’s first black superhero. Even though he wasn’t created until 2006. Retcons are confusing! Let us explain in this week’s episode of the Doombots Marvel Podcast. We’ll also examine the Blue Marvel’s various trips outside of everything that exists, and see how he discovered that global warming is the biggest threat to the Marvel universe.
Episode 71: Is Marvel SNAP a Good Game?
There are more cards and locations in Marvel SNAP than can be discussed in a single episode! This time, we’ll be discussing locations like the Nova Roma, the Roman colony in the Amazon; characters like Onslaught, the physical manifestation of 90’s comics; and well-known Marvel teamups like Odin and Jubilee!
Episode 70: Who Is Every Card in Marvel Snap?
Marvel Snap was mobile game of the year in 2022. Millions-ish of people play it every day. But nowhere in the game does it explain who all the random ass characters and locations in the game are. So we’re going to! We’ll examine the mechanics of the game, discuss what works, what we don’t like, and start describing essentially every single Marvel character. Let’s begin!
