The second season of the 2016 Fantasy Comic League welcomed two new members who immediately challenged the status quo of the league. Newcomer Swampy benefited from a resurgent Iron Man who garnered the most individual points for one hero, but his team, hindered mostly by Old Man Logan’s six-point performance, fell one point shy of Shaun’s first place team. Spider-Man provided his usual…

Johnny triumphed in the final month of the first season of 2016’s Fantasy Comic League. Brian’s second place finished secured his overall season victory.

The Mixed Marvel Arts Podcast pushes the limit of iTunes’ “Explicit” tag, similar to how Deadpool pushed the boundaries of the Motion Picture Association of America’s film-rating system. Fair warning: this episode features a questionable amount of analingus jokes, but blame the hypersexual exploits of Deadpool. Nate returns to the MMA Podcast as the crew…
Johnny triumphant! Not really, but it had been a full year, since February 2015, since he placed higher than last in the Fantasy Comic League. Spider-Man’s league-leading, twenty-point month netted Johnny a third place finish and slightly edged out Lash’s team by one point. Lash retained three-quarters of his January-winning team and secured the same number of overall points,…
A new year brings with it a new season of the Fantasy Comic League. Lash, the League’s most freshman player, finally broke the hold Brian and Shaun have held on first place finishes.

The Mixed Marvel Arts Podcast rings in a new year by reviewing the Fantastic Four film; a movie which failed, fizzled, floundered, flopped, fell flat, and other fabulously fitting phrases, at the 2015 box office. But it’s not all doom and gloom heading into 2016. Brian and Shaun look forward to the upcoming Marvel movies…
