  • The Human Target Part 3

    The Human Target Part 3
    Dec 19 2025
    Christopher Chance is running out of time and the suspects are closing in. In Part 3 of our deep dive into The Human Target by Tom King and Greg Smallwood, things get darker, weirder, and far more personal. With only days left to live, Chance continues his noir-soaked investigation into who poisoned him…and every lead still points back to the Justice League International. This episode covers issues 7–9, featuring: A tense, seductive confrontation with Fire The emotional fallout with Ice Brutal encounters (and interrogations) involving Rocket Red And the looming shadow of Batman, watching from the edges Tom King’s writing leans hard into classic noir tragedy, while Greg Smallwood’s art elevates every punch, silence, and stare. This is a story about obsession, sacrifice, and what it costs to chase the truth, even when it kills you. Listen now and join us for the finale of the series next week.

  • A Merry Marvel Christmas

    A Merry Marvel Christmas
    Dec 12 2025
    Zach and Mike continue their comic book holiday week by cracking open the first-ever Marvel Holiday Special (1991)! This issue is packed with short Christmas tales featuring your favorite heroes, but the bros dive deep into the strangest and most surprising stories. What's inside this holiday special: The X-Men’s Naughty List: The team (Nightcrawler, Colossus, Banshee, and Storm) attempts to celebrate Christmas, only to have the ever-gruff Wolverine make Scrooge look like an optimist. Their decorating is interrupted by a Cerebro signal that leads to a surprising brawl with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (Blob, Toad, Mastermind), ending with the villains becoming the ultimate stocking stuffers. When Ghost Rider Met Santa: The craziest story of the bunch features a kidnapped kid, a snowstorm, and Ghost Rider showing up on his flaming motorcycle to save the day. The child mistakes the Spirit of Vengeance for a fiery, chain-wielding Santa Claus! The Real Heroes of Comics: The guys also discuss the overlooked and uncredited female creators of the Silver and Bronze Ages, including the amazing work of Ramona Fradon on Aquaman. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more obscure comic book history! (And let us know your favorite Marvel Holiday tale in the comments!)

  • Santa's Secret Origin

    Santa's Secret Origin
    Dec 11 2025
    Get festive with Zach and Mike on Bro's Foes and Heroes as they kick off a week of Christmas-themed comic book stories! In this episode, the bros unearth a bizarre and definitive Santa origin story from a 1953 Dell comic, Santa Claus Funnies. What's inside this holiday special: The Origin of Clumsy Claus: Hear about the man who was initially known as "Clumsy Claus" for his lack of skill, who gets robbed by bandits in a shocking turn of events, only to have a miracle grant him "nimble and clever" hands to fix all the toys and become the Santa we know today! Christmas in the Circus: An equally strange story from the Santa Claus Funnies where a tiger cub named Whiskers teaches the other zoo animals about Christmas, forcing the Ringmaster to step up as a stand-in Santa for the zoo's party. Marvel Holiday Special Tease: Plus, a sneak peek at what's coming later this week as the guys plan to dive into the very first Marvel Holiday Special from 1991. Stick around for all the laughs and comic knowledge! (And don't forget to send us your ideas for what we should cover in the new year!) Next week: The conclusion to our coverage of The Human Target!
