The 42cast Episode 104: Make Mine Marvel

Eighty years ago a man named Martin Goodman founded Timely Comics, and the world would never be the same. We discuss the history of Marvel, starting with its founding in 1939 as Timely Comics. We discuss the name changes to Atlas and eventually Marvel. We talk about the major characters of the golden, silver, and bronze ages. We discuss our theories of what differentiates Marvel from its competition. We also talk about favorite characters in each era.

In this week’s five-minute controversy we ask whether or not it’s a good thing that Kevin Feige has become overall creative director for all of Marvel’s TV, Film, and comic content.

This week Mark, Joe, and Will join the cast.
