Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About Comics

Latest Episodes:

Superior Spider-Man #11-16 Jul 14, 2021

Show notes

Over these issues, Spidey-Otto evolved into full super villain mode. He gets a lair, henchmen and even a giant robot. The Milksops discuss this, as well as some MCU talk and Will's plan to play the Thing in an FF movie as an homage to Fat Bastard from Austin Powers.

Mutants and Mailbag #4 - X-Men #109-113 Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

John Byrne is on-board and the X-Men stories are getting wilder, weirder and even more fun. We've got circus sideshows, robot nannies and Colossus saying "Lenin's Ghost" a whole lot more. Plus the Milksops read some email, with a very funny example of Moon Knight announcing his name before punching a bad guy out!

Superior Spider-Man #7-10 Jun 30, 2021

Show notes

Things go from bad to worse for Ghost Peter as Spidey-Otto discovers his existence. We get into the many ways that Dan Slott keeps this story emotionally interesting, with surprising plot twists and oh yeah, the art is great too. Plus a great cover, dare we say iconic, of Peter and Otto fighting inside of Spidey's brain! -- SHOW INFORMATION Twitter: @ScrewItComics Instagram: @ScrewItComics Email: ScrewItComics@gmail.com Subscribe: Apple Podcasts Subscribe: Spotify

Mutant and Mailbag #3 - X-men #104-108 Jun 23, 2021

Show notes

Barely 12 issues into their run and the X-men battle with approximiately 100 newish characters and save the universe. We get into: Claremont and Cockrum putting themselves in the issue, the joy of new characters, the speed with which Claremont and team are changing the X-universe, Cockrum's insanely good costume design and the arrival of little rookie artist John Byrne. Also we answer a million emails. Plus: Screw It We're Just Gonna Talk About War Games returns!

Superior Spider-Man #4-6 Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

More tales of Spidey-Otto! The milksops get into seeing which ways Otto is a more efficient Spidey and the many ways in which he is worse. Some hot takes from Kevin on how modern comics kills people too easily, without good enough story reasons. As usual we disagree with the readers who thought this series glorified or somehow approved of Otto -- it most definitely does not.

Mutants and Mailbag #2 - X-Men #98-103 Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

We're not far into Chris Claremont's X-Men run and things are happening FAST: Storm and Jean Grey are best friends, the X-Men have gone on vacation for the second time in a year, the Sentinels are back and Marvel Girl becomes Phoneix? So much! We talk about: old comics' tendency to RUSH everything (on the team for 2 issues: best friends), the weird decisions to bring back lame villains from X-Men 1.0. But also there's the good: romance and passion, terrific writing -- like literal wordsmithing, great costumes, and fast-piling sub plots. And we answer email!

Superior Spider-Man: #1-#3 Jun 02, 2021

Show notes

The new normal: Otto Octavious is Spider-Man. What could have been a single issue is being played out into a multi-year regular series! We start to see the ramifications of Otto as a man determined to be the best Spider-Man ever: robot spies, new tech for defeating baddies, more merciless beatings... and this all sometimes works? The Milksops dive in!

Mutants and Mailbag #1 - X-Men GS#1-#97 May 26, 2021

Show notes

The Milksops introduce a new episode format: Mutants and Mailbag. For half the episode the cover the early Chris Claremont run of Marvel's X-Men (which they are embarrassed to admit they have never read before) and then for the other half they catch up on mail! In this ep, we go over Giant Size X-Men #1 and X-Men #94-97 --- seismic issues that would transform Marvel Comics forever!

Superior Spider-Man: Amazing Spider-Man #698-#700 May 19, 2021

Show notes

The Milksops get into one of the most-requested series from our fans: 2012's Superior Spider-Man, in which Spidey and Doctor Octopus switch bodies! In this episode we go over the three issues of Amazing Spider-Man where the story started, before it kicked off into its own series for thirty or so issues. Will is won over right away. Kevin talks about how he had to read the first issue a second time immediately after finishing it once. Fun! Scary! Cool!

Scott Aukerman: Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #6 Apr 28, 2021

Show notes

The Milksops get their first returning guest: podcast novice Scott Aukerman, creator and host of Comedy Bang-Bang as well as the writer / actor / producer of many other comedy projects. This time around, we discuss Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #6, the debut of Spidey's sidekick Spider-Bite. Well, sort of sidekick. I mean, YES sidekick, but also... well, whatever, you'll see. We also talk about Scott's history as a fan of comics and how he got into writing a few himself.
