The Epic Marvel Podcast

It’s time to return to the pages of Generation X and discuss those pre-Onslaught issues of our favourite mutant team of the 90s! Gabe and Kurtis talk about Emplate’s mysterious history, M’s family secret, Banshee’s past connection to Omega Red, and why it took Mondo so long to show up and join the team!

Issues discussed: Generation X #10-16, Generation X Annual ’95, Generation X San Diego Comic-Con Preview

This episode contains clips from interviews with Scott Lobdell, Mark Buckingham and Richard Starkings.

Kurtis and Adam first start with a very in depth look at several Amazing Spider-Man stories including a Spider-Man annual, including one chapter of Atlantis Attacks with very early art from Rob Liefeld! Then they tackle the classic Assassin Nation Plot storyline by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlane. What works? What doesn’t? Do the guest stars make the story better? Do the mystery villains have a good plot? Let’s find out together! And finally, the discussion turns to Mary Jane who is the focus of the original graphic novel, Parallel Lives!

Issues discussed: Amazing Spider-Man #320-355, Annual #23, Amazing Spider-Man: Parallel Lives

In this special interview episode, Kurtis and Craig talk to Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz about their legendary run on Thor! They cover the Eric Masterson’s transition to Thor, the Black Galaxy Saga, the Thor Corps, and even Thunderstrike! And that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of this 90 minute conversation!
