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.

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 ...
