Welcome to Make Mine Multiversity: A Marvel Podcast! Each episode we will look at the pressing Marvel news, review some current titles, television shows, or movies, or take a look at celebrated stories from Marvel’s past.
Make Mine Multiversity is now a twice-monthly podcast! Join us going forward the first and third Friday of every month for our new twice-monthly news-filled, mutant-packed program!
With no new comics still this month due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, the trio of Kevin, Jake, and Elias wade through all seven of Marvel’s relaunches from the 2010s. Journey with them as they try to pick the objectively best book of the eras plus their personal favorites and underrated choices. The episode goes chronologically from Marvel NOW! (2012), All-New Marvel NOW! (2014), All-New, All-Different Marvel NOW! (2015), Marvel NOW! 2.0 (2016), Marvel Legacy (2017), and the current Fresh Start era (2018-).
You can find all of our picks listed below so you can check them out on Marvel or comiXology Unlimited or from your local comic book shop.
