Murdock and Marvel: 2010 Part 1

from Comics Over Time Hosted by Duane Eckholm and Dan Newland

Episode 78 - Murdock and Marvel: 2010 Part 1 2010 is an odd year in a lot of ways. It was quiet, but not in a “before the storm” way. More in a “putt your head down and get to work” sense. Great comics were made, and big things were happening mostly under the surface The Year in Comics Comics in Other Media DC Comics Other Publishers Sales & Industry Information Beginnings & Endings Eisner Awards Dan's Favorite The Year in Marvel In many ways these were the darkest days of the Marvel Universe, at least in terms of the stories told in the 616.
