  • Episode 154: Oh my G.O.D.S.
    Oct 2 2024

    The rare comics creator who gets both Will and Steve drooling with uncomfortable levels of hype is back at Marvel: don't look now, but Jonathan Hickman has invented some new G.O.D.S.! No, he never explains what the acronym stands for. We don't mind, really.

    Will comics: I am Iron Man, Immortal Thor vol 2: All Trials are One, G.O.D.S.

    Steve comics: just G.O.D.S. cuz the episode ran long.
