My guest this week is comedian Mike O'Rourke! What was Mike's first comic? Who was in X-Force? What happened in Maximum Carnage? Why don't filmmakers go back to the comics more? What business did Mike's friends start? Who was in the West Coast Avengers? What's cool about Cloak and Dagger? When did Peter Parker and Mary Jane get married? What comic did Mike read because it was cheap? How strong are comic book boxes? What made the Marvel cards cool? Is it good that nerd culture is mainstream now? What properties have the movies had trouble with? What's the thing about the Kingpin? Where did Kingpin first appear? Are there any heroes in Marvel from the Bronx? Who are Longshot and Mojo? What is the Mojoverse? What video game could Mike not beat? What would Mike like to see for the next Spider-Man movie? Who is Mike's favorite Batman? What super villains is Brett waiting to see onscreen?
