Description

It all starts here! Three lifelong friends crack open a stack of old comics—and accidentally launch a podcast! Welcome to The Penny Men, where deep dives meet dumb tangents and the back issues come with baggage!

In this premiere episode, we wrestle with origin stories—our own, and everyone else's! From the golden age to the New 52, from Dr. Fate's rotating helmet rack to the multiple lives (and deaths) of Hawkman, we're charting a course through comic book history one confusing continuity at a time!

Also on the slab:

• The DC Implosion
• Gifting etiquette for Bronze Age Justice League issues
• The secret history of the X-Men’s stolen valor
• Space gorillas, real and imagined
• And the eternal question: How many reboots is too many?

🦸 Featuring:

• 3 hosts with real opinions
• 1 long-suffering Mike Grell comic
• A complete All-Star Squadron retrospective (sort of)
• More Earths than anyone asked for
• A surprisingly moving theory about Space Jam 2

No guest stars! No gimmicks! Just three guys talking comics, culture, and why it all still matters!

Listen! Debate! Reassemble!
