The Next Generation of Comics: IMAGE!
In this episode, Dan and Mark discuss the events that led to the singlemost impactful shakeup to the modern comics industry since Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s invention of the Marvel Comics Universe. On the pages of the X-Men and Spider-Man line of comics, Marvel had been fostering the careers of superstar artists like Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld, and Erik Larsen. But, when these creatives led Marvel to unprecedented sales and cultural impact, they realized that perhaps they could go supernova, leave Marvel behind, upend the comics industry, and found their own independent comic book publishing company that we know know as Image Comics.
But, as Mark and Dan are hardly encyclopedic experts on the early days of Image, they’ve brought on the UK’s most handsome dhampire, Image Comics expert Josh Sutton from the excellent YouTube channel examining comics and superhero media, Panels to Pixels!

Some say “three’s a crowd,” but here we say “three’s a Tri-Sentinel!”
Join Dan and Mark as they take a page-by-page look at a favorite story from the Erik Larsen era of Amazing Spider-Man. That story is none other than “Power Prey!” but you may know it better as Amazing Spider-Man #329’s battle between the Captain Universe-possessed Spider-Man and the Tri-Sentinel. But this wouldn’t be one of our patented “Deconstructing” episodes if we weren’t joined by someone who worked on the comic. So, to help us discuss this Cosmic Spider-Man story, we are joined by Erik Larsen!
This discussion is a deep dive on Amazing Spider-Man #329, written by David Michelinie and with pencils by Erik Larsen, inks by Andy Mushynsky, colors by Bob Sharen, letters by Rick Parker, and edited by Jim Salicrup.

Phenomenal cosmic powers… but can’t afford his living space!
In this episode, Mark and Dan discuss the first line-wide events that crossed over into Spider-Man comics, as Marvel began to realize, in the wake of SECRET WARS, just how much attention they could bring to their entire line of characters and titles if they could find big stories to anchor them around, if only for a moment in time. In the late eighties and early nineties, the shockwaves of the X-Men event entitled INFERNO and the Avengers and Fantastic Four event entitled ACTS OF VENGEANCE hit the entire line of Spider-Man comics. It set a precedent for his inclusion in a grander Marvel story, even at the cost of reshaping the stories occurring in his book.
If you want to follow along with our conversation, we’ll be talking about the following issues:
– Amazing Spider-Man #311-313, 326-329
– Spectacular Spider-Man #146-148, 58-160
– Web of Spider-Man #47-48, 59-61, 64-65
– What If… ? #317

It’s good to be the King…
In this episode, Mark and Dan talk about the return of Gerry Conway to the world of Spider-Man, as he took over writing duties on both Spectacular Spider-Man and Web of Spider-Man, after 13 years away from The Amazing Spider-Man. There, he would introduce new classic villains, like Tombstone, and tell a compelling yarn for over three years and 80 comics.
If you want to read along with their conversation, they talk specifically about Spectacular Spider-Man issues #137-174, Spectacular Spider-Man Annual #8-11, Web of Spider-Man #35-70, and Web of Spider-Man Annual #5 and 6. These haven’t been collected in many places, though there is an Omnibus collecting the first half of these stories. A smattering of them are available on the Marvel Unlimited app and in the store, but many of these will only be found, for the time being, as physical copies.
But, their discussion of these stories wouldn’t be complete without a visit from the man himself, back for his 10th appearance on the Amazing Spider-Talk, they are joined by Gerry Conway!

In this episode, Mark and Dan talk about the meteoric impact that Venom made when he first appeared in the pages of Spider-Man comics. And what better way to capture that spirit than going back into the catalog and rereleasing an older episode of the Amazing Spider-Talk from January 1988, where Mark and Dan reviewed Amazing Spider-Man #300, the first appearance of Venom, when it first appeared on the spinner racks of local supermarkets.

This weekend, the legendary writer Peter David passed away at the age of 68 after a series of prolonged illness and public health battles. He is best known for his 12-year run of The Incredible Hulk stories, but in the world of Spider-Man he contributed beloved stories for Spectacular Spider-Man, Amazing Spider-Man, and many more titles. But, he’s probably most famous for co-creating Spider-Man 2099.
In this episode, Mark and Dan pay tribute to Peter David and replay their discussion of his story “The Commuter Cometh,” which they included in their Essentials series and consider one of the funniest Spider-Man comics ever written.

If you want to read along with our conversation, we are covering all of the comics that we detailed in the introductory episode of this season, if only to talk about The Bad Guys that are introduced and featured in this run. But, as per usual, we won’t be doing so alone, no, back by popular demand from the only other comic book podcast on the Internet, directly from the “Screw it, we’re just gonna talk about comics” podcast, it is Kevin and Will Hines!
This episode was edited by Rick Coste, and the video version of this podcast was edited by Alex Galucki. Our artwork is handcrafted by artists Ron Frenz, Sal Buscema, and Nick Cagnetti. Our theme songs were produced by Ryland Bojack, Tony Thaxton, and Spider-Maj. Josh Sutton of Panels to Pixels animated our animated introduction to the show.

“Look how they drew my boy.”
In this episode, Mark and Dan discuss the artistic contributions of the father of spaghetti webbing, who longtime listeners of this show may know as Dan’s “bosom buddy” and the man who reinvented the look of Spider-Man and his world by utterly destroying the house-style that John Romita Sr. had defined for two decades of Spider-Man comics, it’s Todd McFarlane.
If you want to read along with their conversation, they’ll be talking specifically about Amazing Spider-Man issues #298-325 and 328, and Spider-Man #1-14 and 16. And, if you would like to hear Dan’s interview with Todd McFarlane, you can listen to his conversation with him at a press event for the release of the “Venom” Blu-Ray: https://youtu.be/XA5l65uWPCQ?si=bAC6fXeuXSyYNB_S
