  • 267 - Vision & Scarlet Witch (1982) + Giant-Size Avengers #4
    11 Nov 2026

    Vision's got his own TV show now, that's neat. We decided we'd read the Vision and Scarlet Witch 4-issue miniseries from 1982 by Bill Mantlo and Rick Leonardi.

    There was more meat on the bone here than we expected!

    And in lieu of a long-read, we also read Giant-Size Avengers #4 from 1975 which featured the wedding of Vision and Scarlet Witch! When it comes to wedding issues... it's not exactly up there.

    Zero meat on this bone.

    Next Time: FF (2011) #1-5 by Jonathan Hickman & Steve Epting

  • 266 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Nintendo Power 1992) + Ultimates #13 (Finale)
    19 Oct 2026

    We've got Zelda fever!

    We've already covered the mangas for Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, so this time we're doing something a little different. We're doing the Link to the Past manga that was serialized in Nintendo Power 32-43, written and drawn by Shotaro Ishinomori.

    It starts out very faithful to the game, but there are some unexpected deviations.

    And then we're finally done with Ultimates when we cover issue 13! Book redeemed? No.

  • 265 - Weirdworld (2015) + Ultimates #12
    4 Oct 2026

    We're taking a trip to Weirdworld! What is it? We're not really sure. But Jason Aaron and Mike del Mundo rebooted it as part of Marvel's 2015 Secret Wars event.

    It's got everything: underwater monkeys, crystal warriors, and great art. But is it any good?

    Then we continue Ultimates with #12, where we finally learn what Captain America's A doesn't stand for.

    Next Time: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1992) by Shotaro Ishinomori (don't confuse it with the 2005 manga by Akira Himekawa)
