ReMarvel, Episode 4: X-Force #71 (1997)

They say you can't go home again... and today we will test that theory on multiple fronts!

After sharing a brief audio-version of a vacation slideshow (please listen anyway!), I tell the story of how a strange and X-Perimental new direction for X-Force helped bring me back into comics fandom after walking away two years earlier!  All that, and a deep dive into the first Road Trip-era issue!

Episodes Mentioned during this Program:

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 23: The Move from NY to AZ

ReMarvel, Episode 3: Walking Away From Comics

Chris is on Infinite Earths, Episode 23: Adventures of Superman #549 (1997)

Hey Everybody, today Chris (@acecomics) checks in on the "Electric Blue" era for the Man of Steel, while catching up with some 1st Issue Special alumni (in both the Dingbats on Danger Street and the Green Team) and sharing an overlong personal story of his own teen-age preciosity.  If you're just interested in the comics content and not the rambling idiot telling you about his inability to cope with a cross-country move... you're fast-forward finger is in for quite the workout!

Cosmic Treadmill, Episode #49: Deadpool #11 (1997)

Cosmic Treadmill, Episode 49
Deadpool #11 (1997)
"With Great Power Comes Great Coincidence"

In this episode, Chris and Reggie examine the little-known and once-used technique of "Gumping," that is to take a classic comic book (Amazing Spider-Man #47, for instance) and update it with new themes and characters like those that can be found in Deadpool #11 from 1997, written by Joe Kelly and drawn by Pete Woods! After some biographical information, it's on to the time-traveling, continuity-shattering events of the comic book to hand. Then, some wrap-up and a list of other comic book characters to break or obliterate the literary fourth wall. And finally: some listener mail! It's an episode jam-packed with silliness, so bring a happy attitude!
