What the Fashion?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2373200/fan_mail/new] Whether to boost sales, reflect the times, or give creative teams new inspiration, character redesigns are a frequent trope found in comic books; however not all redesigns are created equal. The G3eks team of Jeff Wooten, Richard Patterson, and Gary Lee call out their choices for the “what were they thinking” worst redesigns of all time—yet find time at the end to point out those redesigns that DO work. Let us know your selections in the comments.

Mount Rushmore of Marvel

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2373200/fan_mail/new] What four monumental comic book characters make up the "Mount Rushmore of Marvel?" Spider-Man and Wolverine seem no-brainers, but are they? What other super-heroes (or super-villains) can be considered? Have movies and streaming replaced comic books as the primary driver of this discussion today? The G3eks team of Jeff Wooten, Richard Patterson, and Gary Lee looks at all these angles before picking their “essential” four. And be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments!

It Starts With a Venom Sketch

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2373200/fan_mail/new] A post-episode record, off-the-cuff conversation begins with a critique of a Venom sketch drawn by panelist Gary Lee and a look at that character’s design evolution. Then we move into a variety of some of the G3ek-iest comic book topics imaginable: Long-game villain plans, Superman mullets, Jim Starlin’s destructive tendencies, cThe Matador and El Aguillar, creator interactions, and more!

The Under-Rateds

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2373200/fan_mail/new] Comic books are not just about key issues and epic storylines. Sometimes there are those series that are solid reads yet unfortunately have fallen through the cracks of the general comics fandom. The G3eks team suggests some “under-rated” comic book gems that might become reader favorites if they come across them. BONUS: A ten-minute pre-show conversation about comic books in general starts the episode.
