Secret Wars Podcast

1984… it wasn’t just a creepy book or an awesome Van Halen album. It was also the year that gave comic book aficionados their first 12 issue limited series, MARVEL SUPERHEROES SECRET WARS! Yes folks, today your friendly neighborhood Mint Condition boys bring you a podcast that will not only tickle your nostalgia bones, but also make you long for cheap tie in toys! Secret Wars was the seminal yet controversial series that brought all of our favorite heroes and villains together in a slugfest across the universe! Not only that, it introduces us to Spider-Man’s black costume/Venom! On a personal note, issue #11 was also the very first comic that Mint’s X-men X-pert Arco Esposito ever bought! So listen in as James, Joe, Chris and Arco break down the first half of the series while also discussing what it meant to them and comics history! (Mint Condition employee action figures not included) 😂
