The 32X Anniversary Special

Welcome to The Penny Men, the only podcast that starts with a Sega 32X reference and somehow ends in a heated debate over Mockingbird’s publishing history!

In our 32nd episode (pure coincidence, we swear), we resurrect one of our earliest and most chaotic games: “Do You Want These Comics?”! Ben cracks open his reject bin, Tom and Gregory sift through stacks of Avengers, Thor, and the occasional Force Works pop-up cover, and we all get lost in a maze of Blue Beetles, West Coast Avengers politics, and Marvel werewolves with questionable fashion sense!

Along the way, we cover:

• The tragic tale of buying the wrong Starman
• The improbable origin of Great Lakes Avengers (Marvel’s answer to Justice League Antarctica)
• Why Thor villains are just better with Enchantress in the mix
• Comic covers that lied to us worse than 90s Superman issues
• The eternal mystery of how many Spider-Men is too many

It’s equal parts yard sale, history lesson, and roast session! Also, someone says “Buzzy the Hummingbird” and we just roll with it!

There’s laughter, obscure trivia, and enough comic shop smell in the air to make you nostalgic for 1994!
