Marveling at Marvel's Marvels

By special request from our very special guest, we bring you Groo the Wanderer! Believe me when I tell you you're in for a treat with this one- don't miss it! 

Thanks to our listeners for supporting us over the last 9 years. As a thank you, we bring you one of your most requested characters- you might be surprised who it is!

The first family of Marvel finally joins the MCU. You know you've all been dying to hear what Josef has to say about this one. Join us for a, detailed and, quite frankly, surprising discussion on Fantastic Four: First Steps!  *SPOILER ALERT* Should go without saying, but we go well into  spoiler territory on this one. We definitely recommend saving this episode until you've seen the film.

Inspired by last episode's discussion around Peepers, we dig deep into 1977's Captain America Annual #4, written and drawn by Jack Kirby. In the course of this discussion, we'll tell you all about Magneto's supporting team of weirdos who one day go on to become Mutant Force! And did we mention Mister One? He's the bizarre little fella pictured on the episode thumbnail. We talk about him, too. You'll love it. Josef insisted we call the episode "Mutant Force" instead of "1977's Captain America Annual #4, written and drawn by Jack Kirby". You be the judge of whether that was the right call...

It's everyone's favorite episode: Weirdo Shotgun! Navigate a barrage of 17 bizarre characters alongside Josef and see if you can determine which are actually Marvel characters and which are listener creations!

Ladies and gentlemen, the following episode is scheduled for one fall! Now making his way to the podcast is Enjoy Wrestling star and 880 Wrestling champion, Gianni Michael Emricko! In honor of our illustrious guest we present one of Marvel's greatest wrestling legends, The Armadillo! We go deep into the history of this weird giant armadillo man and wrestling in the Marvel universe- don't miss it! 

It's Marveling at the movies! Join your favorite podcasters as they share opinions on Marvel's latest film, The Thunderbolts!  Spoilers abound, so maybe hold off on this one until you've seen the movie... 

Following up on our most contentious episode (a scant 5 years ago- timely!) we bring you the Age of Apocalypse! Join Jon & Josef as they lament the horrors of 90s comics, crossover events, and villains with ill-defined powers. Fun!

In advance of her Disney+ TV show, you surely want to know more about the heir to Iron man's mantle. We've got everything you need to know about Riri Williams, aka Ironheart!

We've got the inside scoop on Marvel's most prominent journalist: J. Jonah Jameson! You might think it an odd character to cover, but by the end I'm sure you'll understand why he deserves the full Marveling treatment! 

It's a messy episode this week, as Jon sleepily tells Josef about two of Marvel's latest animated shows: What If and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Please bear with us; we're hoping Jon gets more sleep before our next episode...

By popular demand, we're bringing you a full episode dedicated to everyone's favorite fish: Jeff the Baby Landshark! We'll take a look at his origins, his solo comic, and his cultural impact, This is a can't miss episode for fans of all things cute and fun!

Welcome back for another episode of Critiquing Comic Comics, your favorite podcast for all things comics! This week we've got a special surprise episode: Join our befuddled host in trying to guess the subject! 

We're back for second dose of murderous robot action, with the 2013 comic event Age of Ultron! We'll explain the story, discuss the series' impact, and even have a little fun with a Marveling guessing game- you're in for a good time! 

The fans demanded him, so we're happy to bring on Pa Pym's shiny little boy, Ultron! Join us as we journey through the long, complicated history of Marvel's greatest evil robot! 

We've managed to drag Josef to a theater, just to bring all of you his opinion of Captain America: Brave New World! Was it worth it? Only one way to find out!

It's a triple-threat episode, as we present a trio of characters perhaps best known for their recent appearances in video games: Luna Snow, Wave, and Aero! Never heard of 'em? Neither had Jon until they showed up in Marvel Snap...

Once more, our brave podcasters venture into the wilds of the Sony Spider-verse in pursuit of worthy cinema. Does Kraven The Hunter finally deliver a win for this beleaguered series? There's only one way to find out. Well, two, but we can't really recommend actually watching the movie... SPOILER ALERT: We go into great detail on this film, so if for some reason you really want to see it unspoiled, maybe watch Kraven before listening. 

This episode is a little different: Join us as we take you through the history of Marvel crossovers. You'll mostly learn about the times Marvel & DC characters came together, but we close the episode out with one of comicdom's most surprising team ups...

Cold as ice and hard as marble? It can only be Tombstone! Join us for a fun discussion on this classic Marvel mobster!
