Here we are with a new month and a new round of classic Spidey episodes.  This month, Joshua, Donovan, and I have joining us Mr. Jeffrey Taylor, co-host of the world-renowned From Crisis to Crisis: A Superman Podcast.  This is a special occasion for me because his and Michael Bailey’s work over on that show is what got me into comic book podcasts in the first place and helped to inspire the show you are looking at now.  So I strongly urge you to check them out if you haven’t already.

Flamin’ fireballs!  It’s the first-ever Spider-Man team-up and the lucky sonovagun is the Human Torch!  Or, since technically this is Johnny Storm’s annual, maybe we should make him seem like the lead with Spidey the guest star?  Ah, well, it doesn’t matter.  This was a pretty wonky ride, so join Jon Wilson, Josh Bertone, and Donovan Grant, as they are joined by guest co-host Zach Henderson (from Teenage Wasteland: An Ultimate Spider-Man Podcast), and get ready for “one of the most epic thrillers of all time!!” We also take a brief look at Spider-Man’s backup appearance in The Fantastic Four…

CSC Episode 72: Revelations…Part Four & Osborn Journal

There is a sense of the beginning of the end of this show. Peter Parker: Spider-Man 75 was the first time I had read a comic starring Peter Parker that wasn’t a tie into the cartoon (Adventures of Spider-Man) or a back issue since my very first issue, Spectacular Spider-Man 223.

It’s one of, if not my single favorite issues of Spider-Man of all time, notwithstanding other issues such as…
