Welcome back to Make Mine Multiversity: A Marvel Podcast! Each episode we’ll be looking at Marvel books, old and new, and bringing you our takes on those books, Marvel news, Marvel history and, sometimes, we’ll even have lists! OK, I lied. There’re a lot of lists.
Make Mine Multiversity is a twice-monthly podcast that premieres on the first and third Friday of every month! It’s like payday, but you can’t buy food with our voices.
The first Make Mine Multiversity book club kicks off with “Avengers” #89-97, collectively known as 1972’s “Kree-Skrull War.” Why this book? Well, a little event on the horizon called “Empyre.” Oh, and here’s a timeline of that whole Captain Marvel debacle. But before we get down to that, Jake and Elias take stock of the current X-world with Baseline X, a soon to be recurring segment once X-books become more regular. Below are the rankings from the episode so spoilers? Spoilers.
