Kray Z Comics And Stories

Joe has been on the road for the last two weeks and came back with stories of the road. He hit comic shops, Wall Drug, and other fun things as he drove from St. Paul to Reno Nevada! They discuss:

• Joe and Cory wax philosophical about how people with money don’t know much about how normal people live
• Joe praises the rental van while his daughter’s car went through a series of breakdowns.
• Cory talks about his LAST family trip as a teenager
• How Joe scared his wife and daughter to death on a mountainside

All of this, the usual shenanigans and 43 Man Squamish, too!

Joe had a spare afternoon before taking off for Reno for two weeks, so he and Cory!! sat down to play a Rebooking game:

in 1993, the creators on the Spider-Man comics pitched an idea to have Peter Parker find out he was the clone from issue 149 of Amazon Spider-Man, and the character we thought was the clone was the real Peter Parker and had been wandering the country for 5 years.

So, they discuss what would they have done as the Editor of the Spider-Man comics when the Clone Saga was pitched. They discuss:

Why the clone saga was started

What it was supposed to accomplish.
How to avoid the mistakes make in the story
And where would they have gone from there?

Plus, the usual shenanigans and much, much more!

Did Joe bring his list of comics he is ready to review?

No. No he did not. So, instead, Cory!! has to pull topics out of thin air for them to talk about,. Such as:

• Joe asks Cory!! about an obscure Charlton comics and he doesn’t have the answer.
• They then talk about comics created for shoe stores. Which was MUCH more prevalent than you think.
• What does the Hindenberg have to do with Golden Age comics?
• Has Marvel followed up on Marvel Comics 1000?
• Change in the Spider-Man creative team and how the comic will come out three times a month
• Why Steve Englehart left Marvel in 1976?
• Cory!! tells an anxiety story

All of this, the usual shenanigans and a shout out to a Ronan.
