We’re double-dipping on Kurt Busiek today!

We’re still continuing his run on Thunderbolts with #18 and the rudest French supervillain you’ll ever meet, but first we’re reading Superman: Secret Identity from 2004, with Stuart Immonen on art. 

It’s a story about a regular kid named Clark Kent in a regular universe where superheroes only exist in comics, who gets ridiculed constantly for his name. And then he gets powers. Whoa!

Join us as we follow this variant Clark Kent through a full lifetime, and we discuss the duality of Busiek.

Next Time: We check out the Secret Identity spiritual sequel, Batman: Creature of the Night!

We’re getting into April and we had the idea that we would read some… not great comics this month. Because April Fools Day or something. It’s gonna be the worst tradition ever.

We’re starting with Fear Itself, a Marvel event from 2011 which is basically Thor vs a snake. We have issues with it.

We then continue our read of the Korvac Ultron Saga with Avengers #171.

Nextwave! A little Marvel series you’ve maybe never heard of that’s generated quite a bit of a cult following. Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen take us on a wild ride that manages to both celebrate and parody everything we love about superhero comics.

We read the first 6 issues, join us to find out if we exploded!
