Ep.56: Poison Ivy’s Journey! Moon Knight Pre-Cast ft. Deities in Comics! the Myth of Stan Lee Virtual Talk! Morbius Spoilers! & More

Starting off with the news this week, which includes some stuff I went pretty hard on! I've got an extended discussion on Poison Ivy's status quo (0:08:47), covering everything for her character from Heroes in Crisis to her new solo series starting in June. I'm also delighted to have a bit of information on a brand new project for the Monstress Team: Sana Takeda and Marjorie Liu (0:26:43). I have hilarious spoilers on the Morbius post-credits scenes (0:29:47), Nova news and speculation along with some character info (0:36:31), a new live-action Voltron project (0:42:05), what we know about the Gotham Knight's TV show (0:44:30), Behemoth's acquisition (0:49:45), updated Secret Invasion rumors (0:52:44), some rag time on Donny Cates (0:55:15), and the comics community reacts to the Oscars awards ceremony, 2022(0:58:09)!

 With Moon Knight premiering first thing tomorrow, I obviously have a section on this upside dedicated to what to expect from the show (0:59:23), which I was happy to include details about Egyptian Deities and their place in the Marvel Universe (1:05:29), as I found a truly impressive Nerdist article on the topic (linked below).

Monday the 28th had the Myth of Stan Lee virtual conversation with Abraham Riesman (1:22:16), who has studied Stan extensively to write his book TRUE BELIEVER: the rise and fall of Stan Lee. The conversation touched on Stan's traditional position within marvel, his hereditary Jewishness, the controversy of his credit taking over certain projects, and the sad situation he found himself all the way until his death. I took notes through the whole event, so there's a lot of really good information in there.

While I'm still behind on a couple key comic series I follow, I have a good discussion of some excellent recent comics (1:40:10), with Bolero #3 definitely being my favorite of the bunch. Finally, last will be the weekly pull list, talking comics coming out the 30th of March (and DC today the 29th) 1:49:14.

The next episode will be Monday the 4th of April, talking the regular news and comics but also Moon Knight! Which premiers tomorrow, Wednesday the 30th of March. Get hyped! I'll also have the April Yancy Street Special up by the 11th of the month, covering Illyana Rasputin (AKA Magik), and a bit of Madelyne Pryor, before their important new art in starting in late-April's New Mutant's #25!

Till next time, thank you for listening, have a meditative New Moon this week, and get sweaty about your hobby of choice!
