Watch Zach’s mind break as we discuss not-even-close-to-actually every issue of Marvel comics from 2022. What are Spider-Man, Daredevil, Punisher, Thor, Mister Sinister, Mystique, and Destiny up to these days? If you’ve ever had that very specific thought, then this episode is for you. The fist of the Hand meets the hand of the Fist. Somebody is playing with time and murder. Mystique has a hidden identity! I know, I’m as surprised as you are!

Episode 64: What Is A.X.E. : Judgment Day, And What Does It Mean For The Marvel Universe?
Welcome to the first part of our 2022 Year In Review — in which we focus almost exclusively on Marvel’s major crossover event , A.X.E.: Judgement Day. As you might guess from the acronym, it’s all about the Avengers, the X-Men and the Eternals. And also judgement.
Episode 63: Who Is Namor The Submariner And Why Can He Fly?
Johnny Storm attacks homeless people with fire and then throws them in the ocean. Using explosives makes ice sink. Namor was amnesiac for either 15 or 50 years, depending on how you interpret Marvel’s sliding time. And Zach wants to throw grenades at you from the sky. Everything we talk about in today’s episode all about Namor is so dull, mundane, and boring, that we dare you not to listen.
Episode 59: Why Did The X-Men Have To Fight King Arthur?
Do you need to know more than what’s in the title? Yes you do! That’s why you should listen to this episode of the Doombots Podcast. While the topic may sound silly, we actually get into some pretty deep discussion about what responsibility creators have to make sure their work isn’t used for ill. Does the modern Krakoan era of X-Men stories accidentally promote racism? What is the value of incorporating known mythology into modern “pop” stories? And what does it mean that “If you die in Otherworld, you come back wrong.”
Episode 58: Nightcrawler’s Faith & Religion In The Marvel Universe
This week we ostensibly talk about Nightcrawler starting his own New Age-y religion for mutants on Krakoa, but there’s a great big chunk that’s mostly about how much Zach hates Doctor Nemesis and thinks the way Marvel handles godly power in the comic universe is nonsense. Enjoy!
Episode 56: What Are Some Marvel Video Games? (The Good, the Bad and the Strike Force)
Taking a bit of a diversion from our usual chatter about comic book weirdness, this week the Doombots are talking about video game weirdness. Searnold loves X-Men on Genesis (until that one part), Zach get really mad about someone being “the world’s most famous murderer,” and they both bond over their recovery from a ravaging Marvel’s Strike Force addiction.
Episode 55: Who Is She-Hulk And Why Did She Go Up Against Daredevil? (And What Even Is The Legal System In The Marvel Universe?)
She-Hulk has been through a lot in her history as Marvel comics’s premiere superhero lawyer. From helping Spider-Man sue J. Jonah Jameson to fighting against Daredevil over the fate of Captain America, we’ll look at some of her weirdest, funniest, and most important cases. We’ll also talk about that time she thought she was a character in a comic book. What a crazy thing for someone to think!
Episode 54: What Is The War Of The Realms And What’s Loki’s Whole Deal?(We’re Not Thor-Done!)
We didn’t quite cover enough Thor last episode, so now we’re taking a look at everything Loki has been up to, why Ragnarok doesn’t make a ton of sense, and how the War of the Realms played out!
Episode 53: How Did Jane Foster Became Thor, How Did Thor Became Odin, And How Did Odin Became a Hammer?
Thor comics are weird, and great, and everything in between. This week — with ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ hitting theaters, were taking a look at how Jane Foster became Thor in the comics!
Episode 52: Who Are Dickjokes & Tangents? (Our 2nd Anniversary Celebration!)
It’s finally here! The 2 year anniversary of the Doombots Podcast will feature a slew of cut content from past episodes. From overly emotional reactions, to discussions about language and the Dewey Decimal system, this episode has it all. Including a lot of immature humor! Come laugh and scream and generally have fun with us as we look back on some shit that was so whacky it didn’t make the cut into a regular episode.
