    Ultimate Milksops: Ultimate Spider-Man #3

    Ultimate Milksops: Ultimate Spider-Man #3

    The Milksops continue their examination of Bendis/Bagley's Ultimate Spider-Man! Kevin likes it more on this reading, but is still frustrated by the slow pace. Will remains is moved by the nuanced characters. In this issue, Peter begins his short career as a masked wrestler, and also becomes a star of the high school basketball team. In our world famous loose screws segment, Kevin talks about the Aquaman movie sequel. Does Kevin like it, or not? (Spoiler: no!)

    Ultimate Milksops: Ultimate Spider-Man #2

    Ultimate Milksops: Ultimate Spider-Man #2

    We keep going through this legendary run by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley. Will continues to like it, Kevin continues to think it's too slow. We both agree the "homage" to Ferris Bueller at the top (the boring professor who goes "voodoo economics") is... weird. We discuss the effects of getting to know Uncle Ben more. We observe how obvious it must be to Peter's classmates that he has supernatural powers. We see Peter's anger boiling up.

    Ultimate Milksops: Ultimate Spider-Man #1

    Ultimate Milksops: Ultimate Spider-Man #1

    We get into one of the most popular runs on a superhero comic ever: Ultimate Spider-Man by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley. An attempt to win over new audiences, this was a rebooted Spider-Man without any history or previous continuity. It was a commercial and critical smash! Kevin never took to the slow pace of the plot, and doesn't think the Bendis-style dialogue is worth it, though he admits that it's well crafted and was certainly a hit. Will is taken with the emotional nuance of the characters, and the lack of other superheroes.

Thehypnohustler ,

The only podcast with two brothers talking about comics?

In episode one it starts with one brother,then very quickly there is two brothers. Now, years later there is a third brother. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

RAPTAH NEWZ ,

I mean I guess…

9 episodes in and It’s crazy how much I want to like this show and just can’t. How many times can you have the same exact conversation? Did you know Steve Ditko is good at drawing clothes?

Loose Screws

Listening to these two meekish kind of comedian milk sops talk about comics is like betting everything you own on a talking horse who tells you he’s definitely winning the big race, only to lose and shrug his shoulders and tell you “I thought I would win”. Classic Comedy! Be amazed as they cover issues from 40 years ago, laugh as they discuss possibly covering issues from 20-30 years ago, groan at the thought of them someday covering all 137 issues of Mark Gruenwalds Captain America run, but most importantly fall in love as Jimmy Linguine regales you with Strange Tales and Tales of Suspense from his time at Americas Most Watched Network. Sure they make mistakes and get facts wrong. 5 stars.
