My Marvelous Year Shop Talk

We got a list of questions about our experience doing the podcast, and like any good podcaster we decided to turn it in CONTENT, BABY! This is pretty inside baseball, but if you're curious, give it a listen.

Weekly Update 03/08/20

March Madness continues! Matches have been generally decided fairly early on in the voting, with the exception of Wolverine v. Storm, which ended in a tie and had a coin flip decide. If I had to guess, I'd say this upcoming week's tightest match will be Cap vs. Thor, although Magneto vs. Thanos might be close as well. Also very excited for the inevitable Dr. Doom vs. Black Panther face-off later this month. So join in, and come yell in the Slack with us, it's tons of fun!

Weekly Update 03/01/20 (Marvel March Madness Announcement!)

So, inspired by a few other podcasts, we decided to quickly throw together a March Madness bracket! First thing to mention: I know nothing of sports and brackets and the traditional structure. The only rhyme or reason to this bracket is I tried to make the first 16 face-offs as painful to decide as possible. Chaos reigns! (Also, sorry to Sue Storm, who probably should have been included)

I'll post each face-off as a poll here in the Patreon every day. The Slack channel will be full of ...

Weekly Update 02/25/20

I read this long interview with Frank Miller and Klaus Janson this week about Daredevil. One of the things that struck me is how they had such similar philosophies about how they wanted to create comics and for their vision of Daredevil. Now, their partnership was mostly an accident. Miller did some good pencil work on a couple issues of Spider-Man (issues that featured Daredevil) and he got moved onto pencilling Daredevil, which already had Klaus Janson doing inking. By 1982, Miller was doin...

Q&A February 2020

Weekly Update 02/13/20

First off, I want to formally apologize to Dr. Doom. He reached out and expressed how hurtful my words have been, and he's absolutely right. He's a great villain and I should be more careful how I talk about villains moving forward.

Here's a quick list of aspects I think can make a good villain:
- Badass Powers
- Deliciously Evil Villainy
- Understandable Motivations
- Justifiable Anger
- Incredible Kicking Ability

Let me know in the comments if you have any more ...

If a character(s) could have had an outstanding creative run in the 80s (ala Claremont on X-Men or Miller on Daredevil), who should it have been?

Weekly Update 02/04/20

Hi everyone, sorry for the missing/delayed update in the last week, I've been suffering from the same illness Dave and Aunt May were recently going through.

Small announcement: We're going to be doing our live Q&A stream on February 17th at 11:30EST. We're going to immediately follow up the Q&A with a live recording of My Ultimate Year: Episode Four. If you want to hang out and watch/ listen to us record an ep, that would be a ton of fun! Find us on  2020-02-04 17:15:46 +0000 UTC View Post

Weekly Update 1/21/20

Hello to all our wonderful MMY club members! How's the 1980's treating you? I personally am so excited to be diving into the next decade of comics.

A few scheduling notes: next week's ep will be a big catch-up Variant Cover, with lots of emails, polls, and new stories for the MMY-Verse of heroes and villains!

And as of today, we crossed that $500 goal again, which means we will be recording My Ultimate Year: Episode Three this week, for release at the beginning of February (spec...
