This week it's something a little different with us looking at Marvel Premiere #26, featuring Hercules! There's tree murder, Bill Mantlo, George Tuska, and a little one off tale that I'm pretty sure was originally intended as a fill-in issue of The Champions... Still, why not have a listen?

This week we wrap up the Journey Into Mystery series staring Sif with issue #655! Sif and Beta Ray Bill manage to not do very much while it's up to Ti Asha Ra/Skuttlebutt to save the day! Plus, Gaea gets all monster-y, I make up a word, and more!

This week we're looking at the penultimate Journey Into Mystery issue, number 654, featuring Sif, Beta Ray Bill, a ship/woman mashup, and a very Stephen Bissette-ish Gaea, not to mention some really Schitti art (which means it's a lot better than it sounds!)

It's our 300th episode! Yes, it says 299 above, but it's true! This week we celebrate our tricentennial episode by covering Journey Into Mystery #652 featuring The Lady Sif! In this episode, Sif travels with the Earth goddess, Gaea out to the orbit of Jupiter, where they run into an old friend! There's tree murder, crocodile teeth, and more!

This week it's our long-awaited review of Thor: Ragnarok!!
What worked for me, what didn't work? Do we give Taika Waititi the keys to the Golden Realm, or do we drop him off the edge of the Ginnungagap? We also touch on the Justice League in the process and compare/contrast some of the issues common to both films... so I hope you'll tune in!
