Come and Meet "Come and Meet the Hulk:" Marvel's Darkest Moment
Due to life getting in the way, no Marvel Roundup this week. Instead, we take a look at one of Marvel's most shameful moments: the time they sold off merchandising rights to their top heroes to create a Barney-like preschool program.
Special thanks this week to Scary-Crayon.com for hosting remnants of the "Spidey and Friends" materials, against their better jugment.

Before we dive into the complete Marvel story from issue one, let's take a week to examine the weird, wild word of Marvel's crossover with the Star Wars universe. Why is it so controversial among a certain subset of the fandom? Who is the only character that George Lucas himself allegedly hated with a passion? And why is Dr. Aphra best girl? Find out today!
Special thanks to our first historical reenactors, @davidmahokey, @josh_ilan, and @i_am_carolyn_jerz! Listen for David, Josh and Carolyn as two philosophical droids and a dubious doctor in this week's episode.
