I love this reading club. I love reading superhero comics. I love creating this podcast. But this batch of comics made me reconsider all that love.
There are some interesting introductions here, like the Living Tribunal, Baron Von Strucker, and the Kree, but like a lot of Silver Age concepts, their journey is more interesting than their origins. And what else can I say about a year that delivers not one giant flesh-monster villain, but two (MODOK & Zom)?
This week's episode is Marvel Year Six: 1967 Pt. 2, due out tomorrow 4/22/19. Please get any 1967 feedback for us to discuss on our next Variant Cover episode by 4/23/19. You can send it to mymarvelousyear@gmail.com.
