âDeadpool & Wolverineâ. That ampersand is significant, isnât it? Because it could have been âDeadpool vs. Wolverineâ, but the truth is a little more snuggly than that. These dudes are a match made in Marvel Heaven and in our latest episode, only 6 months late, we break down all the ways grown ass men felt about 2024âs blockbuster. Put this one in your ear holes to hear Doug make Adam say, âYou must be jokingâ, to hear Sam give Deadpool & Wolverine a 12-star review, to hear Adam veer heavily in the other direction, and also to hear Acadia Bostâs plans to start a GAM chapter at her university. Music by Adam Bernstein, as always! -
Attention, true believers! Weâve just dropped a very special, no-nonsense, get-in-get-out episode of Grown Ass Men, all about the new work by our friend J.M. DeMatteis. JM makes his pitch for why you should support his new Kickstarter, and also talks about what can happen when hundreds of people contribute to the world of a single fictional character. Music by Adam Bernstein, natch. Oh, and hereâs the link to that Kickstarter: http://kck.st/460rQ64

There are men who carelessly skip over the letters pages in old comic books. But thatâs not Doug or Adam. And it certainly isnât JM DeMatteis, our charming, returning fan-favorite guest. On this episode, we all dive into the best letters ever published in comics, (yes, including the first writing George RR Martin ever had in print) and JM talks about his path from fanboy to letter-writer to comics scribe extraordinaire. Itâs a good one!

When Alex Maleev paints Daredevil, you can feel the sweat in that red suit. When he sketches Miles Morales you might get worried Miles is gonna fall off that building. We know and love his art from Spider-Woman, Moon Knight, Batman, Hellboy, and the Scarlet series, many created with Brian Michael Bendis. But we also know Alex because he lives here in Brooklyn and we were lucky enough to sit down in person with Alex to talk about his gorgeous new series Masterpiece. Also, to talk about why he loves the UFC. Music by Adam Bernstein!

On this episode, find out why Doug and Adam will NEVER interview Jim Sterankoâand why we love him anyway. Artist, writer, historian, magician, escape artist, musician, character designer of Indiana Jones, character designer of Coppolaâs Dracula, and owner of an amazing head of hair, there is only one Steranko. We met him at Comicon this year and hereâs the story of the handshake that almost cut off the circulation to my whole arm. With music by Adam Bernstein, natch!

Sure, youâve heard about Dr. Wu. Peg. Josie. Rikki, who really shouldnât lose that number. But hereâs a question: What do they look like? Well, wonder no more. In this episode, Doug and Adam sit down with the amazing artist who decided to paint every Steely Dan character. You read that right. Joan LeMay has painted ALL of the characters in Steely Danâs songs in the book she created with the very talented Alex Pappademas. And Joan was just as much of a fun, unpredictable character as any of her subjects. Listen, download, like, subscribe and we promise Mr LaPage will be your man.

On the 101st Episode of the Greatest Comic Book Podcast of all time, we dive into uncharted territory: Power Records! In the 1970s, you didnât just want to read your comics. You wanted to hear them, too. Thatâs where Power Records came in, creating comic books for your turntable, and this episode plays all the hits, from the Six Million Dollar Man vs Santa, to the Planet of the Apes, to Spidey vs Little Women. Elevating the conversation is the fabulous Kevin Maher. Kevin geeks out as only he can do, and also explains to us why these little 45 RPM records were actually good for kids! As if this isnât enough, youâll also get the superhero earworm you didnât know you needed (by Adam Bernstein and Sam Mastandrea), but you really do need it. Put the needle on the record!

The greatest sci-fi movie of all time. The greatest comics creator of all time. The power of Marvel Comics. Bring them all together, and what could go wrong? Everything. On this episode, we crack open the mystery of Jack Kirbyâs weirdest sci-fi comic, tell stories about Stanley Kubrick, propose new ideas for tattoos, and Adam Bernstein gets operatic. With special guests, Dave Baeumler, Sam Mastandrea, and Julian Darius. Whatâs not to love?

On our latest episode: The worldâs greatest comic book shop opens its doors for the Grown Ass Men! We toured the amazing Metropolis Collectibles and invaded the sanctum sanctorum of suave head honcho Vincent Zurzolo to see the collection and hear stories of Vincentâs career, Harry Houdiniâs handcuffs, Nicolas Cageâs stolen comics and tons more. Vincentâs theme by Adam Bernstein!

It started with an irresistible tweet: What are your favorite runs in comics? Itâs the kind of easy/hard question grown ass men love to ask themselves, and this time it was being asked by writer Jimmy Palmiotti. Adam leapt into action, contacted Jimmy, and we made our lists. The conversation was a total pleasure because Jimmyâs not only knowledgeable and funny, heâs also a total fanboy of the comics he loves. We covered our favorite runs as well as some of the great work heâs done with the amazing Amanda Conner. Thanks for being on the show, Jimmy!

Well, Adam & Doug are here to help, unearthing classics and rarities from simpler times when gas was way too expensive, war seemed just around the corner, and the Fonz hadnât jumped any sharks. Tune in with us and fan-favorite guests Mary Micari and Sam Mastandrea!

To capture the amazing life of Steve Gerber, we went way beyond Wikipedia. We got great stories from the one and only Mary Skrenes (his writing partner on Howard the Duck, Omega the Unknown and more) along with Gerry Conway, Scott Edelman and JM DeMatteis.

âThe idea that (Stan Lee could say), âHey kids, write in and you can be part of this giant cultural projectâ is transparently a lie -- and it also turned out to be true.â On this episode of the Grown Ass Men podcast, Douglas Wolk, author of All Of The Marvels, proves you can be super-nerdy and super-eloquent at the same time as he tells us about reading EVERY SINGLE MARVEL COMIC. He also sings a song about it! Pure pleasure, this one. Enjoy.

Grown Ass Men have been fans of Shang Chi and his Master of Kung Fu comic since it came out Dec 10, 1973. Well maybe we discovered it in 1974 but we, like so many other fans, regard these books as some of the best in the Marvel canon. When the new Marvel film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was released, we were first on line.
In this episode we review the movie, plus chat about our correspondence with the great MOKF artist Paul Gulacy. It's a good one and you don't want to miss it!

"Lets just say, whatever few bits of cool we had have been destroyed."
Yup, this is our nerdiest episode EVER, which is saying a lot. Grown Ass Men drove to Long Island, Maine and upstate New York just to look at peoples comics. In Maine, we did end up at a Comic Book store, so while that's not that unusual, it was still incredibly nerdy. But, we know you understand and want to hear all about it. - Laat meer zien
