Episode 100!!! Alex and Drew Rank the MCU: Phase 1, Host Favorites Questions, & How fast can we name 100 heroes or villains?

 I can't believe we made it! 100 Episodes! (Well technically, we hit 100 a few episodes back, but early on we had a few mini-sodes that I didn't number, so it messed our numbering up, and for whatever reason, our "channel trailer" episode counts as #1 even though we considered it #0, so if you've been listening on Apple Podcasts, the number we've given episodes has never matched the A.P.#...Well, we're gonna rectify that starting with next episode, shifting to "Legacy Numbering" Anyway, on today's episode, we'll break down our ratings/rankings of Phase 1 of the MCU with the score sheet Alex devised for us. Have you been watching and ranking along with us? Then we'll check in on the questions we asked each other on the first few episodes, and then the 50th. "Host Favorites", and many of our answers have changed over the years. And finally, one of our loyal listeners asked us to see how quick we could name 100 heroes and villa...

Episode 99: Spider-Man #1-6 Miles Morales on Earth 616! (2016) Brian Michael Bendis, Sara Pichelli

 In today's episode, the final installment of "Spider-Month", we drop in on Miles Morales to see what he's up to. Though this isn't his origin story, which happened in Marvel's "Ultimate Universe", it's his first run on Earth 616, (after the events of Secret-Wars). This is an excellent run, and even has an issue that happens in "Civil-War 2", though you can happily read this issue without fear of any spoilers.

Episode 97: Spider-Man: Blue - FULL STORY - (2002) Jeff Loeb, Tim Sale, Steve Buccellato

In today's installment of Spider-Month, we dig into "Spider-Man: Blue". This is a great run to give you a little taste of a handful of Spidey's villains and Peter Parker's relationships. Told from the point of view of an older, wiser Peter, this story is full of heart and the struggles that make Spider-Man the great hero he is.

Episode 95: Spider-Man: One More Day - FULL STORY - (2007) Strakzynski, Quesada, Miki

 In Today's Episode, the first of 2022, we make our first entry into our "Spider-Month" Event here on 2 Man Comic Book Club, with "One More Day", a story that we feel has definite parallels to No Way Home.  Spider-Man's identity revealed, the world is out to get him, and when one specific enemy puts Aunt May in the hospital, Peter Parker has to do everything he can to save her. This is quite a story arc, with an ending that just might break your heart. We strongly recommend you read the stories before listening. Also, this episode contains some slight spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home, so be warned. Writer(s) J.
