- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 134: Castaway in Dimension JRJR
We're doing it folks. We've finally read one of the bugbears in the MMM canon: 'Castaway in Dimension Z' aka the first ten issues of Rick Remender's 2012 "Captain America" run. We do a recap on all things Remender, JRJR, and Cap once more…
- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 133: Never Mess With Science Majors: Spider-Verse (2014)
Elias has found a new pastime: griping about Dan Slott on "Spider-Man." Jaina would love to show him the good Slott books she's read. Elias caved and decided he could gripe about Slott AND read a good Slott comic by revisiting 1 of 2 arcs…

Last year, Jaina and Elias once again attempted to become a precog and figure out what Marvel was going to get up to in 2023. 10 items each. 11 if you count the Secret Invasion holdover. 10 chances to find out who would win and subject the…
- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 130: MC Two

- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 128: Look Out for the Little Guy!
Elias convinced Jaina that we needed to do this book. Does she regret agreeing? Only time, and this episode, will tell. What did we read? "Look Out for the Little Guy!" aka the in-universe Scott Lang memoir that was actually written in our…

Long awaited, ever since Jaina lost our 2022 predicitions episode, it's finally time to watch Howard the Duck! Yes, the 1986 film starring Lea Thompkins, Tim Robbins, and some other people we'd rather not name. Written by Willard Huyck and…

- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 124: Jaina and Elias Meet Frankencastle
What can we say that the words "Franken-castle" can't convey? This run is bonkers and strange with excellent art and...well, we don't know if we'd call the writing/plot GOOD but it's certainly unique. We do a dive in the career of Rick Rem…
- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 123: To Me, My Podcast: The Fall of X
There's very little we could say here that would capture just how psyched we are for the Fall of X books. Elias was SO energized he decided to talk about act structures in the Shakespearian vein! Take that Hickman. You and your G.O.D.S. an…
- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 122: The Fall State of Marvel Comics

- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 120: Quantumania (Derogatory.) Personality - To Be Added

Note at the top: We originally recorded this BEFORE a whole lot happened in the Marvel universe, like JMS's >"Captain America" announcement or the release of "Amazing Spider-Man" #26, Just in case you were wondering. Anywho. This episode i…
- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 117: EMERGENCY SPIDER-VERSE BROADCAST
Fuck. Across the Spider-Verse is so good y'all, we had to scuttle our original plans to bring you this episode. Elias has seen it at least twice, and at least once since recording, and has so many more thoughts than could make it into the…
- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 116: More Than Meets the X
Can you believe it's been 9 months since we last checked in with the X books? Since then, the line has exploded and the triple-M peeps may have bitten off more than they can chew. 47 books. 47! That's too many X books. Next time, we're ret…

- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 113: Eternals: The Movie: The Podcast

- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 111: Don't Wake the Dreamer! Eternals vol. 4
Speaking of The Forgotten One. today's podcast concerns a volume of "Eternals" that a lot of people have probably never read. The fourth proper volume of "Eternals" came out in 2008. We took a look at "Eternals" #1-9 and Annual #1, which y…

- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 109: Oy Gevalt, These Eternals Gestalt
This time, we read some seriously weird books. We started with some classic 90s "Heroes for Hire" (Vol. 1) #4-7 (from November 1997 - January 1998) and then we read the bombastic "New Eternals: Apocalypse Now" (also known as Eternals: The…

- Make Mine Multiversity, Episode 107: Totally X-Treme E-Ternals
90s Eternals got dark! But maybe that's a good thing? At least dark is a tone; it's better to be dark than bland. Or is it? We talk about some very tacky comics that have a bit of life to them. But if you were looking for the point the "Et…
- Make Mine Multiversity, Episode 106: Dream a Second Volume of Eternals
It's a new year but we're not nearly done with our read through of all of The Eternals. Join us as we dig into the twelve-issue maxi-series "The Eternals" (Vol. 2) and discover why Ikaris really shouldn't be the poster boy for these charac…
- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 105: How Wrong We Will Be in 2023

- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 103: Thor: The Eternals Saga, Part 2: Gotterdammerung
It's epic vs epic as we continue through 70s "Thor." Our goal is the same- to trace the story of Marvel's Eternals through every one of their major comic appearances. But I don't think anyone was prepared for how Nordic these issues get. T…
- Make Mine Multiversity Episode 102: Thor: The Eternals Saga, Part 1: Vampiro Lives
We're continuing our trek through Eternals history with the aptly named Thor and the Eternals: The Celestial Saga. Or is it Thor: The Eternals Saga? Depends on the collection! We read Thor (Vol. 1) #283-291, which is Roy Thomas' attempt at…
