Marveling at Marvel's Marvels

Allen, Josef, and Jonathanmatmm.libsyn.com
Each week, Allen, Josef, and Jonathan discuss a comic book character (or team). Jonathan, a lifelong Marvel devotee, presents the character, their powers, and their history. Josef, who's only ever read one comic book and is significantly more grounded in reality, calls bull. And Allen, level headed voice of reason, mediates the mess. @MarvelMarveling
