  • Reignited my interest in Marvel Comics

    Love the podcast, I’m a relatively new listener but pretty immediately I was charmed by the funny & thoughtful discussions of Marvel comics throughout the years. I’ve enjoyed Marvel since I was very young but listening to My Marvelous Year has got me back into reading comics for the first time in years. I haven’t yet made it to the episodes in which Charlotte stars but I did want to show my appreciation for having a queer woman along for the ride; I can’t wait to hear her perspective on the comi... more

  • Best podcast for catching up with marvel comics

    I’ve been listening and reading along for a few years now, and I’ve read from the beginning up to 1986. This podcast has allowed me to finally enjoy some of the early classics I’ve always heard about (Lee/ditko Spider-Man, coming of galactus, kree/skrull war) and even discover some runs/characters that I never knew of or thought I would like (panther’s rage, Shang-chi, Luke cage, search for eternity). After reading a comic that I like or love it’s always fun to get Zack’s and Dave’s (and eventua... more

    Zack is from an alternate dimension and like can’t understand the most basic plot points. Otherwise an amazing podcast!

    EDIT: Zack addressed this complaint on an episode so it’s only fair I address back! That was a really good response. I genuinely don’t think about pacing when it comes to comics which explains the large different in how we read and interpret stuff.

    I still disagree with a lot of his takes, but I know understand where he’s coming from and it was like, a concise answer. A very... more

  • My Favorite Podcast

    This podcast has been a fantastic companion on my comic book journey. For the past year and a half, I’ve worked my way from Fantastic Four #1 through to 1989. Marvel’s universe can feel overwhelming. You can jump in anywhere across its 60+ year history and still enjoy it, but for me, having the historical context before diving into modern comics felt important.

    The podcast provides an approachable way to explore each year of Marvel’s history and it’s consistently entertaining. Every episode tea... more
