Brian recounts his recent trip to the Magic Kingdom, particularly the New Fantasyland area of the park, and Shaun shares his vision of how to run Marvel comics. The duo tally the September Fantasy Comic…

Fantasy Comic League: August 2016 (Finals)

Shaun defied Brian and Spider-Man and denied them a victory in the final month of the second 2016 Fantasy Comic League season. Carol continued her hot streak thanks to her starring role in Civil War and joined with Deadpool to deliver Shaun the League Championship and a copy of the trade paperback, Spider-Gwen #1. Spider-Man mustered a month-leading 41 points, but…

Fantasy Comic League: March 2016

The All-New, All-Different Avengers assembled for Brian and delivered him his second straight victory. Johnny continued his slow crawl up the ladder and Lash remained in the cellar. Shaun’s unorthodox approach to the draft earned him third place and introduced Howard the Duck and Adam Warlock to the league. The rookies only managed 15 points between the…

Fantasy Comic League: February 2016

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,…

The Mixed Marvel Arts Podcast goes to war!

But both agree that Marvel’s Secret Wars comic event…

Fantasy Comic League: January 2016

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. Lash secured the first victory of 2016 thanks to Iron Man’s strong month in which he scored at least one point in each category. Tony tied Deadpool…

Secret Wars Review: Recap and Ruin (Part One of Three)

Sometime during Jonathan Hickman’s ambitious three year Avengers’ epic, arguably seven years if you include his Fantastic Four run, a term emerged among his fans; “In Hickman, We Trust.” Hickman, notorious for his grand plans and often criticized for slowly unraveling them, asked Marvel and their readers to put their faith in him. Marvel did…

Fantasy Comic League: December 2015

The final season of the 2015 Fantasy Comic League ended in a tight race. Shaun and Brian tied for the most points in December, but Spider-Man decimated the other heroes by scoring 27 points while appearing in league-leading nine comics. Spidey’s heroic effort gave Shaun the overall win thanks to the tiebreaker rules implemented at the start of the…
