#158: April 1971 - "The Only Good Alien..."

In this week's episode, Robb, Jamie, and Bryan cover the opening chapter of the Kree-Skrull War, which comes dangerously close to including a Rick Jones song that Robb would have had to record for our Patreon subscribers. Plus, the boys fumble through seven stories in Marvel by the Minute!
