This week, Scott and I return to the world of Alpha Flight for part two of our conversation about the first twelve issues of the series, along with the “return” of Guardian that follows. We talk about John Byrne’s evolving approach to the characters and how the book both fits within and breaks away from typical Marvel team books.

This week, Scott and I each chose some of the Marvel comics that made the biggest impression on us when we were young readers. These are the stories that helped shape our love of comics and the characters we still talk about today. Our picks include issues of Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, Captain America, Conan, and even a few monster tales. So pull up a chair and light up a cigar (that’s my preference, but you be you) and hang out with us as we look back on what made these comics so powerful then and how they hold up now.
