Abomb To Zzzax (Who's The Greatest Marvel Character?)

Colin and Nick are back with more chat about the main man Lobo including a look at the weirdly blandified New 52 version and his daughter Crush. They'll also be adding to the A-Bomb To zzzax Marvel character list with a look at some of Marvel's weirdest cosmic types and asking the questions:- do we need an alternate universe Hulk version of Mister Fantastic? Why are they still trying to make the power of dark a thing? And just who asked for Bug solo comic anyway? Enjoy!Issues Read425. BruteWarlock (1972) #6426. PipStrange Tales (1975) #179428.

Feetal's Gizz! Join Colin and Nick as they take a look at everyone's favourite bastich, the Main Man himself Lobo (as appearing in the recently released Supergirl). They'll ask the important questions of the day like which 2000AD character does he remind them of, why does a genocidal maniac have a strict code of honour and just what is the link between cult 1960s TV show The Prisoner and Nick's recent 50th birthday?

It's the second part of our dive into the world of Supergirl and, this week Colin and Nick take a look at the comic that's the inspiration behind the film, Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow as well as chatting about the nearest Marvel equivalents (sort of) to Supergirl:- Cammi, America Chavez and Darkstar. They'll be asking the important questions like why is Marvel so obsessed with just "dark" as a power?Issues ReadSupergirl: Woman Of TomorrowSupergirl #1 2025Marvel Supergirls427.

It's part one of a two spectacular as Colin and Nick dive into the world of the many (and slightly confusing) versions of Supergirl in honour of the new film being released. Why is one of them a ball of pink protoplasm? Is it icky that she starts dating a parallel universe version of her "father"? And who has enough lead to coat an asteroid knocking around in their shed?As well as the superchat, Colin and Nick chat about what they've been reading recently, namely classic Hellblazer and New 52 Animal Man.As always, an extended version of this episode is available on Patreon with bonus Masters Of The Universe and pocket universe (unrelated) chat - link belowCome back next week for part 2Issues Read For Part 1SupergirlAction Comics (1938) #252Daring New Adventures Of Supergirl (1982) #1Supergirl (1996) #1Supergirl (2025) #1SUPPORT US: See the full character order, suggest more for us to read and get bonus content on PatreonGET IN TOUCH: Email usINSTAGRAM: comicsaremyhappyplaceRATE, REVIEW, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE!EDITING: @thatbaldyfellaMUSIC: @eyesonlegs Hosted on Acast.

Colin and Nick are back once again with the nerd behaviour to chat about season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again (but only because Nick hasn't watched season 2 yet) and take a look at some of his weirdest villains. What is Gladiator's business model? Why does Mister Fear want to bring waxworks to life? And has no one thought of pushing both of Stilt Man's legs at the same time to make him fall over?Away from the world of Marvel, the chaps have been immersing themselves in some classic 90s Bat action, namely Nightwing and Alan Grant's Shadow Of The BatIssues Read291.

Join Colin Hoult and Nick Kirk as they take a deep dive into the villains of Spider-Noir - we're talking Black Cat, Electro, Sandman, Molten Man and Silvermane - and tackle the important questions:- is that Black Cat's real hair? Does sand really work like that? And by "molten", do they really mean "just a bit greasy"?We'll also be taking at a look at the new DC Absolute universe, specifically Batman and asking is he just too hench?If you want more Absolute universe chat, why not subscribe to our Patreon (link below) where you'll get an early access extended version of this episode as well as subsequent episodesEnjoy!Read along with usWho are the villains of Spiderman Noir?Black cat Amazing spider man #194-195 1979Electro Amazing Spider-Man #9 1963Sandman Amazing Spider-Man #4 1963Molten man Amazing Spider-Man #28 1963 Silvermane Amazing Spider-Man #73-75 1969Spider-Man noir #1-4 (original series) Amazing Spider-Man #68-#75 for the whole weird tablet story!   SUPPORT US: See the full character order, suggest more for us to read and get bonus content on PatreonGET IN TOUCH: Email usINSTAGRAM: comicsaremyhappyplaceRATE, REVIEW, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE!EDITING: @thatbaldyfellaMUSIC: @eyesonlegs Hosted on Acast.

BOOMERANG, SCORPION, TARANTULA, TOMBSTONEWe've got an incoming MCU film on the horizon so Colin and Nick are taking a look at the villains of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY and asking the important questions:- what is Scorpion's tail supposed to be? Why does Boomerang's original suit not have any boomerangs on it?

BATROC, WHIRLWIND, LIVING LASER, ZARAN, MACHETEBonjour, mes amis! Join your jovial hosts Colin and Nick as they take a look at one of the few Marvel characters who has his own brigade - yes, it's the probably racially-insensitively named Batroc The Leaper (a man skilled in the noble French art of feet boxing). Who are the rest of his brigade? Are they supervillains to be taken seriously? And are any of them actually any good? These questions and fewer might be answered in this week's episode....264.

Colin and Nick are back to answer that age old question:- "How many Buckys is too many Buckys?" as they take a look at the inexplicably high number of people who have decided to take on the mantle of child sidekick. We're talking Nomad (Jack Monroe), Nomad (Rikki Barnes), Battlestar (surprisingly not Nomad) and Sharon Carter (sister-niece of Peggy). Reckless endangerment ahoy!250.

WONDER MAN, GRIM REAPER, DOORMANLook, up in the sky... oh no, hang on, that's someone else. Join Colin and Nick as they take a look at a hero neither of them has paid much attention to before, Simon Williams AKA Wonder Man as they ask the question:- is it worth bothering with the comics or should you just watch the excellent series instead (what do you mean, "leading question"?) Also they take a look at his brother, the Grim Reaper and Doorman (who is generally unrelated to Wonder Man with the exception of the series). Enjoy!Issues Read1045.

Bastion, Sentinels, Master Mold, Bolivar TraskLook out, the machines are taking over! In what feels like a very timely episode, Colin and Nick take a look at the man-made machines menacing the mutants of the Marvel universe (yeah, maybe all this Stan and Jack has been rubbing off on us, alliteratively speaking). Are the Sentinels a terrifying look at the future of robotics or another 60s misunderstanding of how robots work? Is it OK to just do the Iron Giant but with a sentinel? What is a Siege Perilous?

KRAVEN THE HUNTER, CALYPSO, RHINO, CHAMELEONColin and Nick are joined by returning and (hopefully) recurring pal James O'Donoghue to take a look at Spidey's animal-tracking foe, Kraven The Hunter. It's also a chance to (mercifully) finish off our look at the SPUMC movies with a bit of chat about Kraven's inexplicable movie.

Best buds Colin and Nick are back reviewing every Marvel Character with an Ironheart special. They've seen about 1.5 eps of the new series and...it's fine. But who is Ironheart? Has she captured our shrivelled middle aged man hearts? And before that: who is the real Tony Stark? Did he ever soil his iron suit? Does he listen to Eric Clapton and Chris Rea? Is Iron Monger the maddest baddest of them all?It's a fun episode although Colin is in a hotel designed to make it impossible for a human to comfortably reach the desk from his bed and it shows!Readling listIRON HEART SPECIAL338.

Our little run of special guests continues as Nick welcomes comedian Colleen Cheetham-Gerrard (previously a Marvel correspondent herself) to take a look at the many people who have also proved worthy of hefting a mystical hammer and taking up the mantle of the God of Thunder Thor, namely the most famous of the alternates Jane Foster (of course), as well Beta Ray Bill, Thunderstrike and probably the greatest of them all, Dargo Ktor (no, us neither). Is that horse-faced alien really just called Bill? Who is desperate for Thunderstrike to be a thing? And why does Odin keep churning out knock-off Mjolnirs for anyone that fancies being a Thor?

Why do the best people suffer the most in Marvel (and life)? Are all my teachers dead? All this and more is discussed with the usual Abomb Aplomb - plus Colossus's absolutely awesome sister Magik and kind of wasted potential Russian Flash Gordon big brother Mikhail.
