Apparently we haven't covered a Daredevil book since our very first episode. We've never even read the death of Elektra, an iconic moment from the middle of Frank Miller's run in the early 80s.

We're reading Daredevil #178-182 to see the big moment for ourselves, along with Daredevil using crutches because he got his leg caught in a bear trap. Oops!

Then we're still reading Thunderbolts with issue #13, in which we deal with some alien BS.

Next Time: Secret Wars 2, Pt. 1 (Issues 1-5)

For some reason, we've devoted two episodes to Batman: Hush.

Why did we do this to ourselves? For some payoff with The Riddler? The Riddler!?!?! Damnit, Loeb.

At least Thunderbolts #12 didn't disappoint with the big finale to their first story arc.

Hush up y'all, this week we're checking out one of the biggest Batman storylines of the 2000s with Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's Husssshhhhh [emphasis mine] from Batman #608-619.

We're reading the first 6 issues in which we learn that Batman had a best friend named Tommy who has somehow never been mentioned in any comic before this one.

There's also a mystery bad guy who barely shows up.

Cool.

Then, we're getting real close to the end of the first Thunderbolts storyline in issue #11, which features zappy mind control laser beams!

We've finally reached the end of Ed Brubaker's classic run on Captain America in issues 37-42. Steve Rogers is dead, probably forever, but now we've got Bucky running around with the shield.

We also get some other clown who thinks he's Steve, and the Red Skull is trying to get his puppet elected as president while also doing some time travel shenanigans.

Then we get to the beginning of the end in Thunderbolts #10. The secret is out! But how???

Next time: Batman: Hush Pt. 1 (Batman #608-613)

Y'all ever heard of this Galactus guy? Always running around in red and green, throwing gas bombs at the Fantastic Four? Yeah, that's classic Galactus.

Dude does way more than just planet-eating.

We read all about it in his very first appearance in Fantastic Four #48-50.

The Silver Surfer makes his first appearance too, spending most of these issues talking to a blind sculptor. Classic Silver Surfer.

Then we move onto Thunderbolts #9, which was mostly an Avengers flashback. We spend a lot of time in the 60s this week!

John Constantine is a badass. He's such a badass that his series is called Hellblazer. He's such a badass that he smokes and gets lung cancer and then tricks demons into cure his lung cancer for him. Wow, what a badass.

We've only seen this guy in the pages of Swamp Thing, so we're reading Hellblazer #41-46 from 1991 when Garth Ennis took over writing duties.

Then we finally say goodbye to the Elements of Doom in Thunderbolts #8.

Next Time: The Fantastic Four meet Galactus for the first time in Fantastic Four 48-50.

Spooky season is swampy season here at SOMFRC and we're back to Swamp Thing! We're reading volume 5 of Alan Moore's run with issues #51-56.

Swamp Thing has no more world-ending catastrophes to worry about, but his girlfriend's being persecuted for being into plants! Nothing to do but take over Gotham, get into a fight with Batman, and then spend a cool time in space.

Then we move onto Thunderbolts #7, where the team disobeys a direct order from Baron Zemo!

It occurs to us that we've never actually read an Iron Man comic, and with the recent dual-casting of Robert Downey Jr. as both Iron Man and Doctor Doom, we decided to take a look at Doomquest from Iron Man #149 & 150. The metal bros travel back in time to (friend of the show) the medieval era!

Doctor Doom rides a horse and that's enough reason to read this comic.

Then we move onto our long read of Thunderbolts with issue #6 which requires a periodic table to enjoy.

Next Time: The Saga of the Swamp Thing, Vol. 5 by Alan Moore (Swamp Thing 51-56)
