Oh man the Eighties were the best if you were Editor-in-Chief of the world’s greatest comic book company. You could totally hijack all the books for an entire year and force creators to follow your vision of an omnipotent-being happy-go-lucky himself through the human experience. ‘Cause that’s totally what Jim Shooter did with the beyond belief tale of the Beyonder in Marvel’s Secret Wars 2. As you can imagine, it is fabulous drinking material.

Listen as KMAC & Yek review the 9 issue limited series while swigin’ and riffin’ about all the best parts:

· Spiderman toilet trains an omnipotent being.

· Paying people with gold buildings, sucka.

· 1980s New York just gangsters and hookers.

· Don’t mind me, just flying my Lamborghini chopping some vegetables in my Cuisinart.

· Wait why does the Beyonder now have black hair and look more Jim Shooter?

· Celestial Park Land, where all the beer is from Pittsburgh.

· Hangin’ in Sparta, IL with the Dave.

· Knocking of Death and then giving Dave that big promotion.

· Is it really a cult if it’s started by a legit omnipotent being?

· Making a cyborg woman bits machine so you can give birth to yourself.

We will save Kitty Pryde’s flirtation with racial slurs for another episode covering all those star studded crossovers.

Beers:

KMAC: Floridan, Funky Buddha, Oakland Park, FL
Style: Hefeweizen, 5.2% ABV, 12 IBU\
Rating: Beyonder popping that collar in his purple dudes like a true Chad.

And a special mystery beer???

Yek: STFU, Center of the Universe Brewing Company, Ashland, VA
Style: BBA Triple Belgo Stout, 16% ABV, 33 IBU
Rating: Beyonder rockin’ his Beat It look while get all them hoes.

Since this is an indie trip, the guys swig on some indie brews while breaking down non-sequiturs and obscura that lead to a giant with a giant scrotum splash page. Find out which Saga toys the guys think need to be made first: Oversized box The Stalk with all those losable accessories and other action parts! D. Oswald Heist’s lighthouse play set with Prince Robot IV alternative action figure. Also now Yek finally knows who that Taco Bell kid is supposed to be. What say you, Lying Cat? Not lying.
