Episode 47: One Small Step (Spider-Man 13)

(Recorded February 18, 2017)

In this episode, Brian, Kyle, and Jack share an interesting Brian Michael Bendis Q&A excerpt about Miles’s reaction to Danika’s video and check in with Spider-Man #13! Plus, your feedback!

• 0:00 – Intro
• 1:42 – A cool Q&A opportunity: Brian asks Bendis about introducing the topic of race in Spider-Man #2.
• 8:23 – Spider-Man #13 – The challenge of maintaining momentum while shifting narrative styles. Jefferson-65 is the Scorpion…but is that not enough to carry the issue?
• 19:40 – Our three-word summaries of Spider-Man #13.
• 20:20 – Kyle Presents: Listener Feedback. What could Miles and Gwen’s kiss *really* be about? Is Miles due for a major push to tie in with his upcoming movie? We kick around ideas for worthy hypothetical successors to the writers’ chairs. Is it time for a Miles Annual?
