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.

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!

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.
