Comics can be complicated, and multidimensional theory is arguably even more confusing, so the existence of multiple Marvel universes might seem incomprehensible at times. That’s why Ryan (Earth-1218) and Lorraine (Earth-1218) are here to de-mystify the role of alternate universes in comics, and explain how they are used to tell some of our best stories! Later, Ryan and Lorraine dish with comedian, writer, actor, and musician Eliza Skinner about their favorite music, and rave about her incredible collection of Marvel merchandise! 0:58 - News 8:42 - Top Books From Marvel’s Pull List 9:25 - Big Talk: The Multiverse 25:22 - Interview with Eliza Skinner 47:47- Community

As Marvel’s 80th anniversary comes to a close, Ryan, Lorraine, and James highlight the Marvel moments of 2019 that left them overwhelmed, overjoyed, and over the moon.

It’s out! Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has finally hit theaters, so we’re asking a big question: what exactly makes a Star Wars story, Star Wars?

Marvel and Star Wars might seem like a match made in fan heaven, but it wasn’t always so. Ryan and Lorraine take us back to a long time ago, when the name Star Wars commanded no force, and Marvel took a big risk to betting on its success. Hear how that relationship has changed over the years, leading to some of our most beloved comics made today!
