    Tons of fun for any marvel fan. If you enjoyed something like Marvels or that kinda on the ground viewpoint of the marvel universe, you’ll probably love this.

    Super Awesome Idea!
    As a long time Marvel Comics fan, my hat goes off to this podcast for basically reviewing classic issues from some of the greatest characters in that line: Fantastic Four, Thor, Avengers etc. and doing it the style of a news radio broadcast! This terrific twist coupled with shorter episode lengths makes for an easy convenient listen that leaves you wanting more!

    A Modern Marvel
    Hosts Mike and Ed create a ‘man on the street’ style podcast that is creative, fun, and unlike anything you’ve heard before
  • Logan, Mostly Superheroes
    Like the news. But Marvel.
    These guys are great. Imagine listening to NPR and you’re getting the morning news. How replace the story with a Marvel comic. Yeah. It’s awesome.
  • ksubs1
    Great idea, really fun execution!
    Reminds me a bit of the Life Story comic run that Marvel’s been doing lately, and I’m enjoying the newscast format. It might be cool if some production design was put into making the audio/format sound a bit more like the time period the news is happening in, but overall a great start!
