With Super Steve away, Andy, Kevin, and Phil are here to make even more noise. Who thought there would be this much Marvel Noise to get out? The gents double back for Phil, who gives his own Spider-Man reading recommendations before an extended talk with spoilers about the Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie and some thoughts on the MCU in general peppered in for good measure.
Inspired by Listener Merrick, the gang goes nuts with recommendations of old Spider-man stories (mostly it is Andy going crazy with too many titles and all the Ditko). Mostly amazing, some spectacular and even a Team Up or Two. Too many titles to keep them all contained! Can you read them all? Have you read them all?

The new era of Marvel Noise continues with Steve, Andrew, Kevin, & Phil. We’ve lured Phil in to talk about the recent Marvel/DC crossovers with Superman/Spider-Man #1 and Spider-Man/Superman #1. After that we talk about Fantastic Four #6-10 (The Invincible Woman), Mortal Thor #10.

We finish the episode off with final thoughts on Daredevil: Born Again season 2 on Disney+.
Steve, Andrew & Kevin return from an unexpected exile in the Negative Zone and have emerged in a seemingly alternate reality where we are responsible for the infrastructure that makes the Marvel Noise Podcast and Website function. We’ve transferred domains, switched servers and are re-starting the Marvel Noise Universe in our own twisted image!
