Episode 20: 20 Comic things to check out and Star Wars

In Episode 20 we decided to have an unplanned-unstructured chat where we listed 20 different things we think our listeners should check out. Some have been covered on the show, some haven't. Some might be controversial, and some are no-brainers.



In the last segment, we also watched the Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker trailer for the first time and reacted to it live. We even gave a countdown to hitting play so you can watch it right alongside us!


I am going to include the list of the 20 things at the bottom of this post so you can feel free to give it a look before or after you listen to the episode.




As always, if there is a comic series or topic you would like to hear us cover on the podcast, reach out to us on Twitter @2mancomicbook, or Instagram @2mancomicbookclub.


Continue Scrolling if you want to have the list spoiled for you.

Drew's Gut Reaction Comic Book Rankings

So here at the 2 Man Comic Book Club, we've released 100+ podcasts about comic books, superheroes, space fights, superpowers, tv shows, and time travel. I still can't believe it! As I've worked my way through more and more comics, I've started wondering how they all stack up.  What follows is by no means a detailed examination of each comic where I weigh their merits against each other. It's exactly what the title claims... a Gut Reaction Ranking . All I did to make this list was start with the first comic we covered on the show "X:Men - The Worst X-Man Ever" and put it at the top of the list. I moved onto the next one, "Superman: Secret Identity" and put it beneath Worst X-Man, because I liked the X-Men story more. (Can you believe that? Coming from me?
