The Thor Friends'™ voyage through the graveyard of dead titans feels like a decades-early preview of WE ONLY FIND THEM WHEN THEY'RE DEAD. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #thor

The greatest artist in comics history has arrived in the pages of THOR, and he makes an immediate impact! #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #thor

Both the hero that Portland needs, and the one we deserve.

We talked about three March 1977 Marvels in this week's episode... and then we covered TWENTY-THREE MORE in the Mighty MBTM Checklist!

NEW EPISODE! In the mighty Marvel Comics of March 1977, Jean Gray bounces a herald of Galactus all across Manhattan! The Avengers host the world's strangest family reunion! And WALT SIMONSON draws Thor for the first time! bit.ly/MBTMmar77

Scully doesn't just beat up every dinosaur, caveman, and robot that he meets. He's also great at leaving friends to die. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #skulltheslayer

New series villain Slitherogue teaches a lesson in time travel paradoxes. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #skulltheslayer

An alien race creates sophisticated robot life and decides to use them to conquer the universe so they'll have something to do. If this seems implausible, try going ten minutes without being hassled to use AI for something. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #skulltheslayer

Hey Alexa, play "Curse of the Pharoahs" by Mercyful Fate. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #skulltheslayer

After a dozen dinosaur fights, Scully decides to change things up a little with a ROBOT dinosaur fight. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #skulltheslayer

Bermuda Triangle time travel, dinosaur fights, magic alien belts, and now a tower connected to every era of human history? What IS this comic?? #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #skulltheslayer

Not a brontosaurus. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #skulltheslayer - - - ("Gods and Super-Gods" - Skull the Slayer #2, written by Marv Wolfman, art by Steve Gan, letters by Tony San Jose, colors by Michele Wolfman, edited by Marv Wolfman, ©1975 Marvel Comics)

Jim Scully is the kind of guy who sees an ancient alien corpse and thinks, "hey, nice belt!" #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #skulltheslayer

"Ayyy Mistah Wolfman, we got dat six tons a' exposition you ordered. Where'd you want us to dump it?" #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #skulltheslayer

When you're Jim Scully, every dinosaur is a target for some misdirected rage. He's not called "Skull the Slayer" for nothing. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #skulltheslayer

On his way back to the States to be tried for a crime he didn't commit, Scully's plane passes through the Bermuda Triangle and... cue the "Land of the Lost" theme. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #skulltheslayer

Jim Scully was shot down 10 minutes into his first mission in Vietnam, tortured as a POW for 5 years, left for dead by his wife... and THEN things take a turn for the worse. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #skulltheslayer

SKULL THE SLAYER is one of the wildest rides a 1970s Marvel comic can take you on. This week, we cover the first four issues in the super-sized first episode of our MAROONED by the Month miniseries! bit.ly/MAROONEDbtm01

NEW EPISODE! NEW SERIES! Improbably frequent guest Noah Campbell joins us for the first episode of our MAROONED by the Month miniseries, which covers Skull the Slayer #1-4! What happens when you take every genre fad of the 1970s and stuff them in a blender? Listen and find out! bit.ly/MAROONEDbtm01

It took nearly five years and the art skills of a generational talent to do it, but Ghost Rider FINALLY looks awesome. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #champions

John Byrne takes a simple idea like "Iceman falls through a portal into outer space" and really makes a meal out of it. The kid may have a future in this business. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #champions

John Byrne has his work cut out for him, trying to put over a Thor villain who we barely remember as a threat to an entire super-team. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #champions

One of our MBTM Insiders wanted us to read CHAMPIONS #13 and see "if you guys agree that Byrne has bumped the quality of the title from abysmal to adequate." Challenge accepted. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #champions

Harold H. Harold: vampire hunter. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #tombofdracula - - - ("The Vampire Conspiracy!" - Tomb of Dracula #56, written by Marv Wolfman, art by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer, letters by John Costanza, colors by Michele Wolfman, edited by Marv Wolfman, ©1977 Marvel Comics)

As someone who lives with two cats, I have no trouble believing that Satan is a giant feline. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #tombofdracula

The characters in Harold H. Harold's novel are familiar. Their behavior? Not so much. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #tombofdracula

Harold H. Harold finally sits down to write his not-so-great American vampire novel. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #tombofdracula

Have any other #podcasts using #Simplecast seen huge, inexplicable surges in downloads lately? We got a week's worth of downloads at 3 am across our entire catalog and virtually every country. Supposedly they're all "unique" users, but it feels like our content was being scraped for some reason.

Oh man, can you imagine if Spidey actually went out on a loss to Will o' the freaking Wisp? #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #spiderman

Peter and MJ seem to be doing much better these days. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #spiderman - - - ("Murder on the Wind!" - Amazing Spider-Man #168, written by Len Wein, art by Ross Andru with Mike Esposito, letters by Joe Rosen, colors by Glynis Wein, edited by Len Wein, ©1977 Marvel Comics)

Oh no! Jonah Jameson has pictures of Spidey stuffing his dead clone into a smokestack! But, uh... what does he think this actually proves? #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #spiderman

Jonah Jameson's latest boneheaded (and probably illegal) plan is to go after Spidey with his latest Spider Slayer robot... on the ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #spiderman

In addition to the three February 1977 Marvels that we covered in this week's main episode, the Patreon-exclusive extended version features 19 MORE ISSUES in the Mighty MBTM Checklist!

NEW EPISODE! We dive into the Marvel comics of February 1977, focusing on the issues chosen by our MBTM Insiders! Spidey fights Will o' the Wisp in a meticulously detailed Manhattan, and Harold H. Harold finally publishes his interview with a vampire! bit.ly/MBTMfeb1977

Our heroes destroy the Martian space center, and Jenette is ready to celebrate. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #killraven

Killraven's brother Deathraven decides he'd rather be an only child. It doesn't go great for him. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #killraven

You will never see a more beautiful sequence of a man fighting a wolf in a river than the one P. Craig Russell delivers in the Killraven graphic novel. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #killraven

Carmilla reveals her pregnancy to M'Shulla, and both are overwhelmed at the prospect of bringing a child into this broken world. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #killraven

The band of freemen add another member to their ranks: former astronaut Jenette Miller. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #killraven

Killraven reflects back on his time under the control of Keeper Whitman and the mysterious abilities that he instilled in the young warrior. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #killraven

If you dare to see the degenerate filth Marvel Unlimited protects you from when you read the digital version of the Killraven graphic novel, swipe to the second image to see how it originally appeared in print. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #killraven

The Killraven graphic novel opens with an especially chilling image, if you know what Martians like about human babies... #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #killraven

Damn, Jack Kirby even predicted the demise of Twitter. What a visionary!

P. Craig Russell has been growing as an artist by leaps and bounds over the course of the Killraven saga, and in its final issue, he pulls out all the stops. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #killraven

The elusive Mourning Prey makes her presence known. #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #killraven

#Disney+ and #Hulu have a lot of shows and movies that my family and I enjoy. But Disney's decision to suspend @jimmykimmel.com and preemptively submit to illegal coercion from the head of the FCC is disgraceful. (1/6)

Killraven impulsively decides to blast a huge cocoon and all of the larvae that fall out of it. Surely this won't turn out to be a terrible decision, right? #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #killraven

Killraven finds M'Shulla unconscious in the swamp, the victim of a mysterious attacker. But who or what is "Mourning Prey?" #marvel #marvelcomics #comics #killraven
