Join comic book fans Jen Stansfield-Marek and Shawn Marek each week for WORST COLLECTION EVER. It's a comedy show where Jen and Shawn poke fun at their own collection of random comic books, most of which that they bought for a dollar or less. And, if you want to follow along, we will be reading books in sequential order as to track the lunacy in real time. Email the podcast and talk to the hosts at worstcollectionever@gmail.com!
Spider-Man Team-Up #7 (1997)
Look, I know it’s supposed to be more Thunderbolts but the “Justice Like Lightning” trade tricks you into reading a Spider-Man book. Thankfully, it is chronologically congruent to the ongoing storyline that we are covering so let’s keep going.
Spider-Man is framed for murder and the Thunderbolts are the only ones to can help (because everyone else is dead). Songbird and Mach-1 brawl with the web-slinger while Atlas signs a rooftop autograph using his fingernails. It is ultimately revealed the Enclave (aka Wilford Brimley and the Egon Spanglers) are sending androids out to muck up the works and that really steams Mach-1’s ponytail.
Also, Spider-Man hits a brick wall, Stan Lee makes Batman obese, Techno goes full Dolby and Mary Jane’s course books are just too damn EXPENSIVE!
All this plus Jen and Shawn share their experience at the latest RetroMania and talk about the new, bizarre Superman movie toys.
