Mighty Warriors Three: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Review

What’s Up, Danger?! You’re listening to another elevated episode of the Mighty Warriors Three Marvel Podcast, this time a special review dedicated to critical and commercial darling Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! Fresh off its Academy Award in for Best Animated Feature, Bry-Bry, the Marvelous Iggy, and Tazer all gather ‘round to sing the praises of this silver screen love letter to comic books! We talk about the good, the bad - is there any bad, honestly…? - and about the future of the franchise, in addition to ranking it among all of our favorite Spider-Man flicks. A shorter, more singular episode to be sure, but an overall positive one. A real change of pace, huh? Next time we’ll be taking on the cosmic arrival of Captain Marvel!

Episode #290: With Well Wishes to JohnnyV (And Not Tom Brady)

Our second episode of 2019 is in the books, and as the Mad Quarterback Tom Brady gains control of his sixth Infinity Super Bowl Ring and looks to annihilate half of the world’s football fans, we try to squeeze another episode around that. Bry-Bry is back leading the charge with the Marvelous Iggy, Tazer, and Ol’ Man Whirlyburger surfaces as well - Jon Jon is back! We discuss the Big Game Spots for both Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame (Well, some of us do…), the rumored start of production on Black Widow and the odds of it being rated-R, the new Guardians of the Galaxy line-up and their odds of mainstream success, as well as the forthcoming Marvel exhibit at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia this April. Meanwhile, in reviews, Jon heralds the coming of Galactus in Fantastic Four #6, Iggy feels the unstoppable thrill of Unstoppable Wasp #4, Tazer makes us groan and roll our eyes when bad puns abound in Black Panther vs. Deadpool #4, and Bry-Bry ranks the adaptation of issue #1 of Wolverine: The Long Night! That’s our show for this week, folks!

And, we cannot stress this enough, congratulations to our dear friend and collaborator JohnnyV on his nuptials! Good luck, Johnny, and make sure your wife isn’t a clone or a Skrull or something like that…

We say good-bye to this year and, oi vey, what a year it has been - do you guys remember that Black Panther came out THIS year? It feels like it came out AT LEAST 2 or 3 years ago!

We review the trailers for Avengers: Endgame and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order!

Then in individual reviews, Jon is won over through sheer force of violence in The Punisher #4, Tazer delves into the depths of confusion with The Best Defense: Namor #1, and Bry-Bry gushes about the artwork (and prays for a Midnight Sons book) in review of The Best Defense: Doctor Strange #1!

Episode #287: Sympathy for a Devil

We gather together today to mourn the passing of another icon... Netflix's Daredevil. The Mighty Warriors Three Marvel Podcast welcomes you to hell's kitchen, dear listeners, and if you can't stand the heat... This week, it's only Bry-Bry and Tazer to fight off the darkness, which is proven more difficult as we discuss the unexpected cancellation of Daredevil after a critically renowned season 3. We further address the state of Marvel & Netflix with updates on both The Punisher and Jessica Jones, then dig deep for hope in discuss something new coming into the world: Shang-Chi being developed into a Marvel Studios feature film! We also talk about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse already being greenlit for both a sequel and an all-female spin-off, and Venom breaking box office records and what that means for Sony's "Spider-Verse" of films moving forward. In reviews, Tazer tackles something different: an animated film, Hulk: Where Monsters Dwell - and, shock of all shocks, he kinda likes it! Then Bry-Bry caps-off Cosmic Ghost Rider with his review of issue #5! Finally, through the magic of live recording, Bry-Bry snap-reviews the debuting-as-we-record new Captain Marvel trailer! What an episode - looks like we kinda turned things around before our last show of the year!

Episode #286: Excelsior Forevermore

Face front, True Believers - today, we gather together to mourn the passing of an icon, and the godfather of Marvel Comics: Stanley Martin Lieber, a.k.a. Stan Lee. Our glorious leader, the Marvelous Iggy a.k.a. Ben, rejoins Bry-Bry, Tazer, and (temporarily) Ol' Man Whirlyburger himself, Jon-Jon, to pay tribute to The Man himself. We get together, ramble off some of his career highlights (which is just about the entirety of Stan Lee's career), and reminisce - specifically, we all share our favorite Stan Lee character, our favorite Stan Lee story, and our favorite Stan Lee cameo in a Marvel movie. Meanwhile, keeping in the spirit of Stan's legacy, we dig in and review some comic books! Together, we review Avengers #700, our Book of the Week and a fitting legacy milestone issue! Then, individual reviews, Ben reviews Uncanny X-Men #1, Tazer reviews Death of the Inhumans #5, the final issue in the event, and Bry-Bry reviews X-Men Black: Emma Frost, the last of the 5-issue limited run.

From out of the shadows, suddenly - A PODCAST! Yes, it is time once more for the Mighty Warriors Three Marvel Podcast to set aside all other interests and discuss the latest offering from within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, we walk into the darkness to shine a light on season 3 of Daredevil from Marvel & Netflix. But we do not walk alone, dear listener; joining your write-in candidate for podcast host-for-life Bry-Bry and hard-edged investigator Tazer is none other than founding member of the podcast JohnnyV, back from the dead! They three sit down to dissect the good, the bad, and the ugly from the latest season of the show centering on the man without fear and the kingpin of crime - did this season hit the bullseye in terms of quality?
