Unspoken Issues - Black September 30th Anniversary Event - Part 5 - UltraForce/Avengers Prelude #1

In this special Unspoken Issues Podcast, Jesse and Chris Armstrong rewind the clock to 1995 to explore one of the most polarizing and obscure crossover events in comic book history: Black September. Specifically, they dig into the UltraForce/Avengers Prelude.Jesse shares his experience as a longtime comics reader who mostly avoided Ultraverse titles during their heyday, while Chris reflects on discovering this storyline years later during his quest to complete his Ultraverse collection. Together, they provide honest insights about the artwork, storytelling, and legacy of these issues, touching on everything from prime-powered nostalgia to the eerie disappearance of the Ultraverse line.They also break down the behind-the-scenes drama — including Marvel's sudden acquisition of Malibu to block a potential DC buyout, and the still-murky "dirty laundry" that might explain why Marvel has never resurrected the Ultraverse. From Easter eggs and artistic homages to CD-ROM comics and the fading glimmer of 90s innovation, this episode is a time capsule for fans who remember the wild days of Wizard Magazine and cross-company chaos.
