Episode 97 – Secret Wars (2015)

You finally achieve your lifelong goal—absolute dominion over all of creation, not to mention the wife of your bitterest rival—only to find that godhood isn’t everything you’d hoped for. We’ve all been there, right? Victor Von Doom certainly has, in the epic 2015 miniseries Secret Wars, by Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic, published by Marvel Comics!

Join us as we answer the burning questions: Can Curt and Kevin avoid getting deep in the weeds of this superhero crossover event? (Not so much.) And can this epic, world-changing series emerge triumphant in that Clash of Kings known as … The Comics Canon?

In This Episode!

  • Similarities to Game of Thrones
  • “What am I going to do with all these bullets?”
  • The thorny implications of Doom’s relationship with Susan Storm
  • Weirdworld
  • Infamous Iron Man
  • House of X and Powers of X

Join us in two weeks as we continue our exploration of cosmic crossovers with the mother of all universe-obliterating epics, Crisis on Infinite Earths!
