Over the course of this year, all but 3 of Marvel’s ongoing comics were rebooted. In this episode, we’ll look at the new premises and summarize some of what was wrapped up. Black Panther must defend the city of Birnin T’chaka. Hulk leaves Hulk Planet and comes back to Earth to fight The Mother of Horrors. The Avengers must tangle with Kang and the Ashen Combine. Scarlet Witch has the Darkhold and a new store. The new Punisher is named Joe Garrison. The Guardians of the Galaxy deal with Grootfall. Captain America conquers the Outer Circle. Venom and Doctor Doom are time traveling together. Thor becomes even more immortal. And Jonothan Hickman redefines (or at least starts to) the entire Marvel cosmology in G.O.D.S.

Ep. 88: Why Did The Punisher Join the Hand?
Jason Aaron has completely changed the story of Frank Castle, aka The Punisher. Now, he’s the leader of the ninja death cult called The Hand. By adding some back story and bringing his dead wife back from the dead, Jason Aaron has elevated The Punisher’s story to a Shakespearean level. We’ll discuss the entire 12 issue arc, explain how Frank came to this point, and what it means to be the Fist of the Beast. We’ll also discuss some of The Punisher’s greatest hits, including “Welcome Back Frank” and the time he teamed up with a cosmic powered Spider-Man to prevent the American government from switching their currency to the cocaine standard.
