  • 243 - Captain America by Rob Liefeld + Thunderbolts #16

    243 - Captain America by Rob Liefeld + Thunderbolts #16
    Apr 18 2025

    We've never fully delved into the artistic stylings of Rob Liefeld, but it's finally time to take the plunge.

    We look at his work on relaunching Captain America during Marvel's Heroes Reborn event in the 90s along with Jeph Loeb, and we find plenty of... interesting art choices to discuss.

    We read the first 5-issue storyline as well as a 6th issue that perplexed us.

    Then we move onto Thunderbolts #16 which brings up a new mystery!

    242 - Secret Wars II, Pt. 2 +Thunderbolts #15
    Apr 2 2025

    We're finishing up the back half of Secret Wars II with issues #6-9. So far, we haven't been very impressed with The Beyonder and his antics on Earth, but will his cool new "Thriller" vest help matters at all?

    Thankfully the Molecule Man takes center stage to give us something to latch on to.

    Then, the Thunderbolts are back on Earth in issue #15, and they've gotta figure out how to live life on the run.

    241 - Secret Wars II, Pt. 1 + Thunderbolts #14
    Mar 20 2025

    It's Secret Wars II, the sequel to Secret Wars... and it's very different! The Beyonder is on Earth and he's just a confused, lonely alien who wants love. It's only 9 issues, so we read the first 5 issues this time and try to understand why it exists.

    Then we move onto Thunderbolts #14 where they make it back to Earth too!

    Next time: Secret Wars II, Pt. 2 (Issues 6-9)
