Who/What is the 2 Man Comic Book Club?

My name is Drew Morris. I was once in a book club with one other guy (which we called the 2 man book club). We read a The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and then Huckleberry Finn. We never really met to talk about them in the way most book clubs actually work. We just read them and occasionally made jokes to each other about them. (And sang the "Freebootin'" song from the Tom Sawyer musical, which we came across while reading it). 


Several years later, my friend Alex Miller told me that I should get a subscription to Marvel Unlimited so I could read comics again. After a little thinking, I did, and jokingly said that we should start a 2 man comic book club.

The 2 man comic book club started in much the same way as my 2 man book club. Alex and I would tell each other about comic books that we should check out, we would read them, and talk briefly about them when we ran into each other. 

Fast forward a year or so, Alex texts me one morning saying we should start a podcast.





The remainder of the day was a whirlwind of texts with different ideas for the podcast.

(By the way, T-woman comic book club podcast is a reference to us making a hashtag that said #twomancomicbookclub which we both thought looked like T-Woman instead of two man, which we thought was funny... we have adjusted it to be "2mancomicbookclub" since then)

We ended up meeting for lunch that day and setting the plan in place that would eventually become the "2 Man Comic Book Club Podcast"

We read comics and then record ourselves chatting about them. Our podcast is geared towards casual readers like ourselves who would like to learn more about the world of comic books.

Episode 30: Powers of X #1 (2019) - Part 2 of our PHOX Event coverage.

We are dropped right in the action in Powers of X #1, which, despite its #1 description, is actually the continuation of the story which began in House of X #1. We are quick to learn where the name Powers of X (10) comes from. Right on the first page we are introduced to 4 different moments in time: Year 0, Year 10, Year 100, and Year 1000. It will take many more books to actually figure out what the significance of each event is, but it will all be worth it, trust me! If you are just jumping in here, we encourage you to go back one episode and start with Episode 29, which begins the entire arc. We also highly encourage you to check out each of the issues yourself. These 12 issues weave in and out of each other and are well worth the reading time! The easiest way to find them is probably Marvel Unlimited . But I bet you can also find floppies (paper copies) at your local comic shop , and it is well worth the investment! We really hope you are reading along w...

Episode 22: Ms. Marvel #7 (2014) - We're Back with Season 2!!

Hey there 2 Man Fans! We're back with new episodes after a little holiday break. We hope you're ready for more comics! We start Season 2 with a book that provides a slight wrap up of the first story arc of Ms. Marvel. (Or at least enough of an ending to allow us to discuss it and then step away from Ms. Marvel for a bit...If you want us to pick the Ms. Marvel stories back up, give us a shout on Twitter or leave a comment!) Kamala and Wolverine chase The Inventor's minions through the sewers. We learn a little more about Ms. Marvel's Powers. We see a few more heroes from the Marvel Universe. And Alex and Drew conclude the longest (and lowest scoring) trivia series so far! What do you want us to read next? Do you have favorite panels from Ms. Marvel or favorite Easter eggs from within the panels? Share them with us here or on social media! We would love to talk about the amazing art in upcoming issues! And as always, if there is a comic series or ...
