Morituri Mondays, Episode 9 - Strikeforce: Morituri #9 (8/87)


Greetings, fellow Weekday Warriors!
Morituri Mondays is back, and we're primed to take a look at the ninth issue of Strikeforce: Morituri.  After a touching reunion with a feared-dead friend, our team has a pizza party and eventually breaks every rule in the book in order to once again try and protect a certain chocolate factory!
Speaking of chocolate... today Chris and Chris conduct a most scientific challenge ever attempted.  It is the great M&Ms vs. Smarties Challenge!  Canadian Chris has American Chris try the candy of his homeland... and challenges him to "pick a side" in the bite-sized candy Civil War!  It's a story of tragedy, triumph... and cheating on a diet!  We challenge y'all to also chime in on your preferred rainbow-colored, melts in your mouth not in your hand type things!
Also: Plenty of back-matter nonsense!  A Letters Page!  Bullpen Bulletins!  A Pro-File on one of the Fifty Most Eligible Bachelors in America (according to Playgirl Magazine)!  And much, much more!  It's a great time as always, give it a listen!

Morituri Mondays, Episode 8 - Strikeforce: Morituri #8 (7/87)


Guilt-Stricken, sobbin' with our heads on the floor... today, we meet The Freshmen!
That's right, gang... today we get up-close and personal with those newbies that, for the past couple of issues, have been cookin' in Dr. Tuolema's proverbial "kitchen".  Not only do we meet 'em, we accompany them on their first actual mission as part of the team... and, ho boy, it is quite the trial by fire!
All that, and we also tell you how you can become:
  • An Orange Big Shot... with Tang!
  • A Neighborhood Ninja... with Lady Shogun
  • Part of a club, that's made for you and me... with Em Eye See (see ya real soon...)

ReMarvel, Episode 6: The X-Men & Me / Me & the X-Men


What's happenin', mutants?
Today I go off-the-cuff and share my life and times as an X-Fan.  From the gimmicky nineties, through the event-heavy aughts, and into the reboot-heavy present.  Up until a few years ago, the X-Men have always been a "comfort food" for me... and I'm doing my darnedest to get that feeling back!All that, and some news about the future of the show!
Note: If you're a regular listener, the first 5-10 minutes will be bits of stories you've likely already heard... at least once!

Hey folks! Continuing this look at what motivates collectors and the things we collect, I talk with my good friend Lilly McCrea about her more casual–but still persistent!–collecting hobby. It's a little different than comic books or sports cards, let me know what you think!

Morituri Mondays, Episode 7 - Strikeforce: Morituri #7 (6/87)


Harold is dead.
The team is barreling toward the Horde flagship... without their leader, without a plan, without weapons... and without a clue!
Will the Strikeforce rise to the occasion... or crumble under the pressure?  It's their toughest challenge to date... and when it's all over, they might find their number dwindling even more!
Also: Flyin' Kites with Rain-Blo, the hunt for Bazooka Joe, skateboarding misadventures, and cheap magic tricks!
