Some of My Friends Read Comics 028 – Power Pack

somfrc028

How was there not a Power Pack cartoon in the ‘80s? How is there not one NOW?!?

We took a look at issues 1-4 of this 1984 Marvel superteam created by debut writer Louise Simonson and artist June Brigman.

We really let it transport us to a land of sugary cereals on Saturday morning and fake unicorn grandparents that you love more than your actual family (yes, really).

We also try to figure out why someone named Alex Power would choose the much lamer “Gee” as a codename.  Get it together, Alex. You’re an embarrassment to the Power Pack.

All My Friends Are Right Here 061 – 90s Spider-Man and X-men Cartoons

amfarh-061

We’ve got an embarrassment of superhero movie riches now, so ALL MY FRIENDS ARE HERE to look back at the two cartoons that first got us into superheroes: the 90s X-men and Spider-Man animated series!

Join Chris, Vince, and Richard as they remember the great storylines of the X-Men animated series and how they managed to pack Apocalypse and Days of Future Past into the first season.  Also, does Wolverine love Morph more than he loves Jean Grey?

Meanwhile, Vince recounts how the Spider-Man series quickly went off the deep-end as Mary Jane’s clone joined a Dormammu cult and Spider-Man teamed up with Spider-Men from alternate dimensions to fight a Spider-Man possessed by the Carnage symbiote!

This episode gets especially nerdy.

Next week, the Marvel Cinematic Universe tears itself apart in Captain America: Civil War, based on the best-selling Marvel comic CIVIL WAR!

We go back 10 years ago to read the original CIVIL WAR, where Captain America and Iron Man broke up, Spider-Man told the world he was Peter Parker, and everybody’s best friend (who hadn’t been in a comic in over decade) died!

This one’s for Cody!

Can you feel the love this Saturday Night?  Julia Louis-Dreyfus returns to SNL to host an episode that feels like it came right out of the 80s and 90s.

Aliens go to a singles event, huuuuuge jewelry is sold, and Elaine Benes and Rachel Green ask questions at a political debate!

Also, Kia explains how he wanted nothing more than to have a pet lizard growing up, and how he should do car commercials (but for what company?)!
