Worst Collection Ever

Secret Defenders #17 (1994)We wrap our short duology of Deadpool stories as we cover the conclusion of his team-up with Doctor Druid, Luke Cage, Shadowoman and the hip new hero Cadaver. The Secret crew seeks to stop the maniacal Malachi from whizzing all over the time-stream just to resurrect her ambivalent lover. All this at the cost of turning kindergarteners into early on-set Adam Sandlers and robbing Seattle of corn. Things get even worse when the malevolent (not Doctor) Strange shows up to collect magic gimmicks while the real Doctor Strange is stuck in limbo looking like a present-day Trent Reznor with Paulie Walnuts hair.*** DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE SPOILERS — 00:04:21 to 00:19:03 ****** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:27:53 ***All this plus a meaty DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE conversation (with spoilers - see above) and our thought on Robert Downey Jr. returning to the MCU as NOT Iron Man.Promo: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN FROM THE BEGINNING (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-amazing-spider-

Daredevil #164 (1980)We’ve reached the end of this Daredevil “Marked For Death” storyline and it doesn’t appear that we’ve gotten anywhere. All we get here is a DD origin story - which is nice - but what does it have to do with him being targeted?Anyway, Daredevil shares his life story including tales about his school bully John Cena, how he became a pretzel snob and the time he watched his dad box Morgan Freeman.

Daredevil #163 (1979)The Hulk rolls into town as we carry on with Daredevil not being so much “marked for death” as he is “marked for some really bad publicity” as Ben Urich closes in on his identity. Not only that, but DD has to deal with Bruce Banner spiking his fine china like a football, Foggy telling dirty jokes to priests and disco dudes sweeping up his ex-girlfriends. It will all be well if you just keep your cool on the subway and don’t let Mean Gene Okerlund put out his cigar on your jacket*** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:17:14 ***All this plus we chat about our general malaise towards celebrity autographs and why you should, SERIAL on NPR and why you shouldn’t harass Tom Atkins.Promo: WHEN IT WAS COOL (https://www.whenitwascool.com/whenitwascoolpodcast)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter (X) @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield and email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCol

Daredevil #159 (1979)It’s been a minute since we’ve tackled Ol’ Hornhead so let’s check out the DAREDEVIL: MARKED FOR DEATH trade paperback! It is not a “proper” or “official” Daredevil storyline but it does share the same name as a pretty good Steven Segal movie, so that’s cool.Join us as we discuss Daredevil hitting some sick tricks with his billy club, vengeful city judges, Frank Miller art and Bullseye breaking necks with life preservers.

Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #20 (1991)We have finally reached the end of the “Venom” storyline and it ends with a…meh? Join us as we discuss how Batman escapes a watery grave with a twin-size bed, a weight set and 80lbs of Cliff Bars.

Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #19 (1991)Batman has finally kicked the horse meat and is ready to take on the Professor and the General in Santa Prisca! It’s going to be wild though because juiced-up men in jumpsuits (Nailz?) are under hypnosis to murder the island inhabitants, pop their heads and disintegrate their necks. Batman and Alfred seek to intervene Alfred get abducted, dangled from a helicopter and strung up for shark bait. It is up to Batman to get partially nude, sacrifice some innocent civilians and save his butler. Can he do it?

Batman has been tasked with compromising Det. Gordon to a permanent end in order to get his next fix of Venom. He can’t do it though and decides to push a different older man to the ground instead. Concluding its time to get clean, Bats locks himself in the Batcave for a full month with no toiletries and possibly no toilet. Over in Santa Prisca, the doctor and the general carve the tall teenager from last week and make into some weird Abobo-looking guy, I don’t know.All this plus we talk about VHS tapes and the Batman/Halloween III team-up we have yet to receive.Promo: TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSITY (https://www.tfu.info/) Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter (X) @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield and email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #17 (1991)Let’s keep going with the “Venom” storyline here as Batman spirals deeper and deeper into the acrimonious abyss of substance abuse and addiction. Bats is out in the streets — dressed like The Question for some reason — pummeling thugs for intel so hard he (and we) forget why he’s doing it. We also bear witness to Batman expertly throwing a refrigerator at some crooks. It all boils down to super soldiers, orchestrated killings and one really tall teenager.All this plus we talk about cereal for a bit.

Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #16 (1991)We’ve got some Batman back in our lives as we jump into the “Venom” storyline that ran in issues of BATMAN: LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT in 1991. Venom, of course, being the drug that Bane uses t get swoll and also some guy who Spider-Man knows.Lots to unpack here as Bruce ask for permission to save a drowning girl in the sewer. It goes tragically fubar and Bats is convinced he needs more gains. It is just his luck that the dead girl’s apathetic father (like, REALLY apathetic) is in the designer drug business. Also, Batman does a belly flop, Alfred retires and cheese blintzes.Promo from IS IT JAWS?

The Savage Dragon [vol 1] #3 (1992)We complete our run on the Savage Dragon mini-series this week as Dragon returns from a six-day nap to brawl with Bedrock, Youngblood’s answer to Ben Grimm or Blok from Legion of Super-Heroes. Chicago is in even WORSE shape since Dragon’s been out as Skullface and the poorly dressed Overlord make threatening phone calls and have disastrous Zoom meetings. Plus, the aforementioned Bedrock wants to see if Dragon is government material in the most obnoxiously destructive way possible. All this plus bodacious babes with bodacious trauma!Comic book talk starts at 00:15:42 unless if you’d like to hear us talk about, at length, the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards.Promo from HITHER CAME CONAN (https://linktr.ee/hithercameconan)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter (X) @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield and email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTPlease ra

The Savage Dragon [vol 1] #2 (1992)Carrying on with the saga of The Savage Dragon, we pick up the Dragon in the Chicago sewers looking for an obese spider man (as opposed to Spider-Man or Spider-Ham). Dragon’s been running ragged fighting crime and almost gets some companionship from his Daisy Dukes wearing neighbor gal. Unfortunately, Hellrazor and his cronies have taken over the mall, sat on ALL the chairs in the Brookstone and finished off the entirety of the bourbon chicken in the food court, leaving the Windy City paralyzed with fear. But as we’ve seen, Savage Dragon goes hard….but does he go TOO HARD?!?Also, we have an extended discussion about WrestleMania XL this past weekend.

The Savage Dragon [vol 1] #1 (1992)We don’t get around to messing with too many Image Comics but Savage Dragon is a great place to start. Outlandish in story and execution, the mighty Erik Larsen gives us a lot to talk about. For example, why does Savage Dragon have so much body hair despite being a reptilian? Is he of Mediterranean descent? Will the hair removal product Nair do the trick? Regardless, this series is wild, filled with chrome skeletons, hilariously timed explosion deaths and one of the most inefficient costume designs of all time.Promo from COUNCIL OF GEEKS (https://councilofgeeks.libsyn.com/)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter (X) @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield and email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTPlease rate, review, subscribe and tell a friend!

Marvel Team-Up #125 (1982)Spider-Man, ever the enterprising fellow, nabs a print endorsement deal for a fast food joint only for Tigra to show up and score the gig with her Charo impression (cuchi cuchi). Tigra then has a date with a beat cop that gets interrupted by Zabo the Diaper Bodyguard. Spider-Man tries to help and makes things worse.Additionally, we are bestowed a Doctor Strange / Scarlet Witch back-up that sees a confused monster summoned on the set of that fake movie in PET CEMETARY 2 where Eddie Furlong’s mother get electrocuted to death. Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter (X) @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield and email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTPlease rate, review, subscribe and tell a friend!

Marvel Team-Up #126 (1983)We wrap our run on Marvel Team-Up with a deliberately lazy issue featuring a random back-up story with Luke Cage and Hellstorm and a Spider-Man comic strip reprint featuring the HulkIn the first story, Luke and Damian find a dead body and follow the brimstone trail to a demon worshipping party for Satannish aka Kirkland Signature Satan. Action ensues as Luke throws a couch and Hellstorm sets his trident to “ash.”Later, Hulk loses his marbles in NYC and awesomely demolishes a police cruiser with a lamppost. Spider-Man gives Hulk $5.00 USD to start a new life so Hulk heads to Chicago and pays it forward by slapping around some buff crooks.Promo from CHECKERED PAST (https://twitter.com/gogocheckpod)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter (X) @angryheroshawn and @JenStansfield and email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTPlease rate, review, subscribe and tell a

Marvel Team-Up #124 (1982)It’s a brand-new run of books as we jump into some Marvel Team-Up. This week, Spider-Man links up with our friend Beast to fight off the vengeance-seeking Professor Power. The good professor here is mad that another professor (Professor X) did a botch job on his catatonic son’s mind so now he wants to take it out on everything X-Men adjacent.
