This week on Bronze and Modern Gods, we’re talking about one of the biggest Bronze Age X-Men keys ever.Our Hot Book of the Week is X-MEN #129, the first appearance of Kitty Pryde, the first appearance of Emma Frost, the arrival of the Hellfire Club’s Inner Circle, and the beginning of the Dark Phoenix Saga. That is a ridiculous amount of comic book history packed into one 40-cent issue.For the Old Fart Rule, we go back to 1986 with ANYTHING GOES! #1 from Fantagraphics, a legal-defense anthology created to help pay bills from the Michael Fleisher lawsuit against The Comics Journal, Gary Groth, and Harlan Ellison. With Gil Kane, Flaming Carrot, Alex Toth, Gilbert Hernandez, Mike Baron, and one of the strangest backstories in indie comics, this is a true 1986 artifact.Our Underrated Books of the Week include:SILVER STAR #1 from Pacific Comics, Jack Kirby’s creator-owned superhero epic packed with genetic engineering, reality-altering villains, and late-career Kirby weirdness with no corporate filter.ANIMAL MAN #1 from DC Comics, the start of the Grant Morrison, Chas Truog, Doug Hazlewood, and Brian Bolland run that turned Buddy Baker from a forgotten Silver Age character into one of DC’s smartest cult favorites.Plus, Viewer Mail, a little Show & Tell, and new Member shoutouts.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook:@bronzeandmoderngodsLike the video, subscribe to the channel, and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Become a Member for $2.99/month and get:• Members-only live streams• Bonus Show & Tell episodes• On-screen shoutoutsJOIN → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkHTY1eNYHr9JoTndx_m6kA/join📬 VIEWER MAILSend questions to:[email protected]

After Marvel’s SDCC announcement that Ryan Gosling will star in a new GHOST RIDER film directed by Shawn Levy, this Bronze Age key is suddenly getting a fresh wave of attention.The big question: will Gosling play Johnny Blaze, or is Marvel going in a different direction? Either way, MARVEL SPOTLIGHT #5 is once again one of the books collectors are watching.For the 25 Year Rule, we revisit THE PUNISHER #1 from Marvel Knights in 2001.
