Marvel Noise Episode 40

This episode isn't as long as some have been, but we still make it worth your while. Steve Raker returns from the Comic Book Bunker, Adam offers up a somewhat recent collection in Marvel Unbound, and Backwards Dave pulls one out from somewhere in Bring 'em Back. We also hear from Carlos not once, but twice! And our host decides to record some thoughts on the ride home.

Young Avengers Presents: Hawkeye, New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Ms. Marvel, Guardians of the Galaxy, Amazing Spider-Man, Astonishing X-Men, Avengers: The Initiative, Cable, Ultimate Origins, and Iron Man are mentioned.

Get it here.
