First, BREAKING NEWS. The moment is finally here. After over a year of rumors and speculation, we finally have an official casting for Cable, in the upcoming DEADPOOL 2. That's right - stepping into the role of Scott Summer's time-traveling soldier son is Jonah Hex himself, Mr. Josh Brolin. What do we think of this surprising announcement? Listen on and find out.
Then, some discussion of the recent controversy regarding apparently racist Easter eggs hidden in the art of X-MEN: GOLD # 1, a story that threatened to completely overshadow Marvel's otherwise so far well-received relaunch of the X-Men universe.
And, in our main event, we take a look at the classic two-part Wolverine story "Enemy of the State" and "Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.," (Wolverine Vol. 3, issues 20 - 31) by writer Mark Millar and artist John Romita Jr. In this 2005 tale, our boy Logan is captured and brainwashed by the combined forces of Hydra and the Hand, and sent on a mission that puts him in direct conflict with numerous heroes of the Marvel universe. It's a globe-trotting tale featuring Elektra, Nick Fury, The Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Captain America and more. How does a story about an "evil Wolverine" still manage to highlight what makes him one of the coolest heroes around? We answer that, and more, in an in-depth review.
All this, plus some quick thoughts on the new MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, and the just dropped STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI teaser trailer.
