Episode 48: Second Date, Third Wheel (Spider-Gwen 17)

(Recorded February 25, 2017)

In this episode, Brian, Jack, and Kyle jump back to Earth-616 to keep up with our new Spider-Couple in Spider-Gwen #17! Plus, your feedback!

• 0:00 – Intro
• 1:41 – Spider-Gwen #17 – Framing the story vs. telling it. A focus on character vs. spectacle (similar to 2016’s Spider-Women crossover). A third wheel on a second date?  Our heroes unmasking: Scripting or Artistic call? Despite the initial fan reaction, is the whole “romance angle” despite fan reaction much ado about nothing?
• 17:50 – Our three-word summaries of Spider-Gwen #17
  
• 19:09 – Listener Feedback: More thoughts on potential creative voices
• 21:46 – Outro. What did *you* think of this issue (and Gwen and Miles getting together)?
• 25:10 – ???

Stuff that we mentioned in this episode:

• Miles and Kamala’s flirting (?) in Spider-Man #3
• All-New Ultimates
• THE KIRBY CRACKLE
• Spider-Man #14 cover ; the original ASM Annual (Superior Spider-Talk’s discussion of that issue) ; and fun tribute commission by Chris Giarusso
