Some of My Friends Read Comics 226 – April Fool’s Day 2024: Spider-Ham Fights Baron Zebro + Carol Danvers Dates Her Son + Earth X Finale

April Fools! We’re doing some weird comics today, because that feels like it makes sense.

We wanted to read Peter Porker and we only picked issue #16 because it had Baron Zebro in it. 

Then we read Avengers #200 because it’s said to be one of the worst issues of all time, and it definitely deserves that accolade.

And we finally end Earth X in issue #X, in which Spiders-Man wears a hard hat.

The best thing in all these comics is the cool dinosaur that attacked Avengers Mansion.

Some of My Friends Read Comics 216 – Captain Marvel (2012): In Pursuit of Flight + Earth X #3

It’s only been about 10 years, but the Captain Marvel redesign of Carol Danvers has already become the most iconic version of the character.

With a new movie on the way, we’re looking at the first volume of Kelly Sue DeConnick’s run where the new image was introduced, titled In Pursuit of Flight.

It’s not what we expected.

At all! 

Then we continue Earth X with issue #3 and… well… at least Spider-Man is in it.

We’ve been talking about a lot of “Event” comics recently, and this week we’re going back to what could arguable be called the first big Marvel event, the Kree-Skrull War from Avengers 89-97.

We’re splitting it up into two parts, reading issues 89-93 this time, plus the continuation of our Secret Wars read with issue 8.

Two different Marvel events in one episode?

They said it couldn’t be done.
