Welcome Back to Mine Multiversity: A Marvel Podcast! Each episode we’ll be looking at Marvel books, old and new! We discuss fun Marvel comics, and also Marvel news, Marvel history, Marvel trivia… if it’s a Marvel comic past or present, we want to talk about it.
Make Mine Multiversity is a twice-monthly podcast that premieres on the first and third Friday of every month. You shouldn’t need the help of a mutant polyglot to keep track!
In this episode, Jaina and Elias read the classic “New Mutants” #21 from 1984. After covering runs that lasted twelve, twenty-five, or a hundred and fifty issues, this is a whole episode focusing on just a single issue! It’s the shortest comic Make Mine Multiversity has ever covered, but that doesn’t mean there’s not a lot to say. Tune in to get a deep dive on the techniques of Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz. You’ll even hear the secret history of how Ann Nocenti quietly revolutionized comics in the 80s.
Next book club: we are reading the deplorable “Ultimatum,” by Jeff Loeb and David Finch. It might be the worst comic we’ve ever read. It might be the worst comic Marvel has ever published. We encourage you to spare yourself and not read along, as we will be exploring how such a travesty came to be.
