Last time, a young mutant followed her father to Japan… and vanished into shadow.Now the saga explodes in Issue #2 of the senses-shattering limited series from writer Chris Claremont and artist Al Milgrom, and nothing will ever be the same for Kitty Pryde or Wolverine again!

The bright, phasing X-Man we thought we knew is gone… replaced by a masked assassin who answers only to Ogun.Claremont cranks up the psychological tension! Milgrom drenches every page in shadow and danger! And Steeven and Ed break it all down; the ninja training, the emotional stakes, and the moral gray areas.Face front, comic fans, Episode Two of The Comic Book Super Show dives headlong into another intense chapter of this legendary 1984 mini-series.

Gold calls. Ruins answer. And something ancient wakes up angry.In this episode of Hither Came Conan, Steeven drags us deep into Conan the Barbarian #40: The Fiend from the Forgotten City, a sun-scorched nightmare where greed is the only map and survival is never guaranteed.Conan stumbles upon the lost city of Ababenzaar, a place stuffed with crumbling towers, ancient corpses, and a gemstone so powerful it might as well be a god in disguise.The beefy barbarian cuts his way through ambushes and supernatural horror, only to learn (yet again) that cursed cities never go quietly… and neither do the things bound inside them.So grab your sword, mind your bargains, and maybe leave the shiny rock where you found it — because this is Hither Came Conan Episode 62, and the Forgotten City does not forgive.Conan the Barbarian #40: The Fiend from the Forgotten City was published by Marvel Comics in April of 1974.Enjoy!Hither Came Conan is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

IN A WORLD… where comics cost 75 cents, spinner racks ruled the earth, and the X-Men were about to conquer pop culture…Two lifelong comic junkies fire up a brand-new podcast and crack open a Marvel time capsule.Welcome to Episode 1 of The Comic Book Super Show, as hosts Ed and Steeven kick off their very first season by diving headfirst into Kitty Pryde & Wolverine #1 from August of 1984, a moody, dialogue-heavy, slow-burn classic from Chris Claremont and Al Milgrom that helped define the golden age of 80s Marvel Comics.Before Wolverine pops his claws…Before ninjas strike…Before the body count rises…This issue dares to do something unthinkable: no costume, no combat, and barely a whiff of Wolverine at all.Instead, it’s all about Kitty PrydeShe's heartbroken, homesick, and caught in a globe-spanning web of crime, family betrayal, and international intrigue that stretches from suburban Illinois to the shadowy streets of Japan.Along the way, Ed and Steeven relive what it was like to read this comic off the rack in the mid-80s, unpack why this era of Marvel still hits so hard, and explore how this miniseries redefined Kitty, Logan, and the very idea of what an X-Men story could be.There’s nostalgia.There’s history.There’s Claremontian wordiness.There’s spinner racks, Secret Wars, golden ages, and the birth of one of comics’ most enduring relationships.This is not just where the story begins.It’s where The Comic Book Super Show is born.Kitty Pryde and Wolverine #1 was published by Marvel Comics in August of 1984.The Comic Book Super Show is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

A seaside town held hostage by a priest who trades blood for false salvation, virginal sacrifices chained to rocks, and a gargantuan dragon that’s really a nightmare crocodile erupting from the surf.So grab your copy and gird your loins because this is one monster fight you can read in a single gulp.Conan the Barbarian #39: The Dragon from the Inland Sea was published by Marvel Comics in March of 1974.Enjoy!Hither Came Conan is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

Wine, promotions, dancing girls — and then everything goes completely sideways.In today's episode of Hither Came Conan we tackle Conan the Barbarian #38, a tale that begins like a victory lap and ends in betrayal, monsters, and horse theft.Steeven breaks down a story stuffed with pulp insanity: a suicidal spy, a soul-snorting priest, an invisible snake attack (yes, really), and a were-woman who refuses to stay bound by sorcery or good sense. Conan swings between mercy and murder, learns why bargains matter, and ultimately decides that Turanian politics are far more dangerous than any demon.It’s a wild, occasionally bonkers chapter in Conan’s saga — and a blast to dissect.This episode crackles with John Buscema’s bruising art, Roy Thomas’s pulpy inventions, and Steeven’s own savage, hilarious commentary — equal parts scholarly love and barbarian glee.So grab your sword, your sense of wonder, and maybe a bandage, because this is a blood-spattered, laugh-out-loud deep-dive into curses, city politics, and why you should never trust a dancing girl with a dagger.Conan the Barbarian #38: The Warrior and the Were-Woman was published by Marvel Comics in February of 1974.Enjoy!Hither Came Conan is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

Brace yourself as your host, Steeven, launches the series with a thunderclap of origin stories, corporate back-room deals, and hard-earned nostalgia.From Hasbro’s humble fabric-shop beginnings to the public restroom handshake that sent Marvel into full-tilt toy-story mode, this is the raucous, unfiltered origin saga of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. Ride through the decades: 12-inch dolls, kung-fu grips, file-card biographies, Marvel’s first gambit, Devil’s Due detours, IDW resurrection, and Skybound’s Energon mash-up — all throttled together with Steeven’s trademark wit, weird pop-culture clips, and a feverish, emotional love letter to the eighties.

In this episode of The Superman Super Show, Ed and Steeven dive into one of Metropolis’s darkest criminal conspiracies — a case so bizarre, so sprawling, and so brutal that it stretches from hospital wards in the city to the cliffside tribes of South America. It begins like any nightmare: victims collapsing within minutes, skin turning yellow, their minds slipping into panic before death closes in. A 100% fatality rate — and no clues. Or so it seems. When a dying man gasps a single word — Chirroba — the investigation cracks open. Suddenly Clark and Lois find themselves drawn into a deadly web involving a cult of witch doctors, starved wolves, sabotage, and gangsters hiding behind tribal power. Even the police are forced into violence as the plague drives ordinary people to attack with axes, leaving officers no choice but to “put them down.” As Steeven and Ed dig through the evidence, they uncover the shocking truth: the outbreak wasn’t natural at all. From violent outbreaks to dynamite murders, from deception to a desperate chase for the cure, this is a case file unlike anything Metropolis has ever seen. And only one man can bring the criminals to justice — even if he has to drill through the Earth, fling wolves about by the tail, or retrieve a kidnapped prince chained in a cave full of snakes to do it. This is The Yellow Plague from Superman #11: conspiracy, murder, and mystery at Golden Age speed. Tune in… if you think you can handle the truth.Superman #11 was published by DC Comics in May of 1941.The Superman Super Show is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

WARNING: This episode contains sustained, salty language and volcanic tirades — primarily courtesy of Ed — and Steeven freely admits he loves every furious, profanity-soaked second of it. If you’re allergic to swearing, consider this your bat signal to proceed with caution. If you enjoy raw, unfiltered political rage wrapped in sharp humor, bring earplugs for the sensibilities of those around you and crank it up.Brace yourself!! This extra special bonus episode of The Superman Super Show detonates like a political firecracker!!Ed and Steeven go a bit unhinged, ripping into the state of American politics with a mix of furious wit, hard truths, and the kind of blunt, profanity-laced riffs that make a podcast feel dangerously alive. From dismantling dishonest rhetoric to riffing on how elected officials dodge accountability, the pair dig deep into the uglier corners of modern governance — with Ed delivering volcanic bursts of righteous fury and Steeven grinning like someone who knows he’s hearing the best line of the night.Along the way they name-check the Atlantic’s Autocracy in America podcast and its Episode One: Start With a Lie — a timely lens for everything these fellas are shouting about — and even riff on media-bias sites like AllSides.com while trying to make sense of how truth gets bent and bargains get made.If you’ve ever wanted to hear two friends sort through outrage, hypocrisy, and policy with no safety rails, this is the one. Hit play for a bonus episode that’s part rant, part civic critique, and entirely unmissable.The Superman Super Show is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

He's learning bows and horses and the deadly art of the axe while stealing a few stolen kisses from the dangerously voluptuous Amytis. It's a pretty sweet setup for our boy, Conan.

Recorded live and dripping with pulpy paranoia, Ed and Steeven plunge into a Metropolis gripped by a secret crime wave — thugs in ominous armbands, a citizens’ committee that might be more dangerous than the crooks, and a twist that will make you double-take the man behind the moustache.In this episode the Super Fellas blow the dust off World’s Finest Comics #2 and race from rooftop brawls and mid-air stunts to a high-seas showdown where nothing — and nobody — is what they first appear to be. Expect crackling play-by-play, gleeful nitpicks about Golden Age logic, and laugh-out-loud moments as Superman goes detective (and Clark goes full-nosy reporter) while Lois delivers one of the finest takedowns of cowardice in comics history. From a propeller-perched interrogation to a yacht reveal that'll make your jaw drop, Steeven and Ed treat every panel like it's a cliffhanger and then crank the suspense to eleven.If you like your nostalgia with extra punch, conspiracy, and affectionate mockery, this is your jam. Tune in for punches, paranoias, and the satisfying moment when the Unknown X is unmasked — and then stick around for Ed and Steeven's sharp, hyperbolic dissection of how — and why — 1941 comics told their stories with such wild confidence.Enjoy!World’s Finest Comics #2 was published by DC Comics in May of 1941.The Superman Super Show is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

Get your mind ready for action as we pry open the tomb doors of Kara-Shehr and watch greed wake something that never wanted to be disturbed — a misty, fanged horror, an impossible sapphire called the Azure Eye, and the terrible price paid by a friend who reaches for it.We got all that and more as Steeven dives into Conan the Barbarian #35: The Hell-Spawn of Kara-Shehr.Expect blow-by-blow mayhem: camel raids in dawn heat, a desperate rescue in the dunes, a sandstorm that dumps our heroes before the ruined throne room, and that spine-cold moment when the skeleton’s hand closes around the jewel. Re-live the panic as an old foe returns, the room fills with living mist, and Conan charges headlong into certain death in hopes to save a friend.But also expect the unexpected because this is a story that refuses a neat ending. So join Steeven as he celebrates Buscema’s masterful storytelling and Glynis’s color work, riffs on Gil Kane covers and Roy Thomas’s liner notes, and leans into how sometimes the barbarian loses — and why that makes the stories hit harder. If you love Conan at his most brutal and bittersweet, tune in for an emotional ride across dunes where treasure isn’t worth the cost, and maybe don’t touch the pretty blue rock. This issue was published by Marvel Comics in October of 1973.Enjoy!Hither Came Conan is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.

Recorded live with the energy of a high-voltage radio drama, and then hammered into shape with more cuts and edits than a big budget theatrical extravaganza, Episode 87 of The Superman Super Show beats no where near the bush and speeds right into the heart-stopping mayhem of Commissioner Kent from Action Comics #37.Metropolis erupts into violent chaos.As racketeers run free, armored cars are robbed, and three civil servants fall to bullets and bombs in jaw-dropping succession, only one unlikely hero can brave the streets: mild-mannered Clark Kent, newly appointed Commissioner of Police.When a dingy alley ambush and a firebomb in City Hall fail to claim his life, Kent sheds his suit and reveals that his desk job comes with super-charged insurance as he transforms into Superman to deliver bone-crushing justice and rescue the mayor from burning ruin.In a whirlwind of assassination plots, exploding briefcases and gas-filled car ramps, Steeven and Ed unpack every twist—laughing at the absurdity of a single day that sees more explosive action than a summer blockbuster.Tune in for a pulse-pounding, hyperbolic thrill ride that proves even the darkest conspiracies in Metropolis can’t outmatch the Man of Steel’s indomitable spirit!Action Comics #37 was published by DC Comics in April of 1941.The Superman Super Show is a production of Steeven Orr Else Media.
