💸 What happens when you only get $100 to draft an Avengers team… but the roster is limited to the weirdest, most random members from the 80s through the 2000s? Corey, Dylan, and Jon are back for another Avengers Draft Auction, and this time the spin of the wheel is serving up names like Darkhawk, Firebird, Stingray, and plenty of other “Wait… they were Avengers?!” characters. With each pick up for auction, the bids stay low, the laughs stay high, and the rosters get increasingly bizarre. Can any of these lineups actually resemble a real Avengers team—or are we just building the worst super-team in Marvel history? 👥 In this episode we cover: Drafting Avengers with only $100 each Obscure Marvel characters you forgot existed Why the 80s–2000s Avengers rosters were so random The struggle to find value in a sea of “meh” heroes Corey, Dylan & Jon debating who’s worth a bid… and who isn’t If you enjoyed our 60s–70s Avengers Draft episode, this sequel cranks the absurdity up to 11. 🔥 Who would YOU waste $20 on—Darkhawk or Stingray?

In this episode of Smark Avengers, Corey and Dylan come up with the most ridiculous, over-the-top, and sometimes oddly plausible ways to take down one of Marvel’s most powerful mutants—while Jon decides if any of them could actually work. From giant magnets to impenetrable force fields, from bee swarms to family drama with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, we put Magneto through every bizarre scenario possible.

📚 Welcome back to another Relaxed Fit episode of the podcast! This week, Corey, Dylan, and Jon kick back and dive into some of the biggest (and weirdest) recurring issues in comics. Why does every Spider-Man, X-Men, and Daredevil run need to lead into a massive earth-shattering event instead of just letting characters breathe? Does death in comics really mean anything when everyone eventually comes back? And what’s the deal with writers clinging to their “pet characters” no one else cares about? From Marvel’s obsession with constant crossovers to DC’s never-ending cycle of resurrections, we’re pulling apart the state of modern comics while keeping it funny, laid-back, and brutally honest. 👥 Topics we hit in this episode:The problem with endless comic book events Why death in comics has lost its meaning Writers and their “pet” characters (for better or worse) The need for balance between event storytelling and a “new normal” If you’re tired of gimmicks and just want good character-driven stories, this one’s for you. 🔥 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more deep dives into comics, superheroes, and the weird world of pop culture storytelling.

The world of comics is full of relaunches, new status quos, and brand new eras and the X-Men certainly are not immune. After the end of Krakoa, the X-Men have returned From The Ashes... however not every phoenix makes it to the sky. Join Corey and Dylan as the Smark Avengers discuss the From the Ashes era of the X-Men and the first books sacrificed to the cancellation gods!

Daredevil has been Born Again, it's a Brave New World for Captain America, and the Thunderbolts are going head to head with Sentry by the looks of it. Dylan didn't make it today so it's up to Corey and Jon to discuss the going's on as the Smark Avengers (minus one) talk more Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Amnesia via gunshot, deals with the devil, and secret lovechildren between a teenage girl and a creepy supervillain - what do they all have in common? They were all hated by fans! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they look back on three storylines that soured longtime fans of Spider-Man and Nightwing to the point that Marvel and DC had to actively work to win them back!

It's an all-new volume and an all-new number 1 for the Smark Avengers. It's been over 52 weeks and 52 episodes of the Smark Avengers since Vol 3 started one year ago and the Smark Avengers are looking back at one year of episodes. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they take a walk down memory lane!

It's the rematch of the century as Dylan and Jon go head to head in a comic book trivia contest! This time with the added twist that Marvel questions are 1 point but DC questions are 2! Can Jon display his intelligence over multiple brands of comics? Can Dylan guess what shoe size Lois Lane wears? Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avengers do another quiz!

The wheel is back and this time with a DC Comics flair! The catch is that the wheel has 30 names on it and will only be spun 20 times and they can only bid on whoever the wheel lands on. Who will land on Batman?! Will Jon and Dylan know who anyone is?! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they spin the wheel and build their own Justice League.

It's episode 50 and the Smark Avengers have come together once more to talk about super hero movies! Now we all know that Sony has the rights to make Spider-Man adjacent movies without including Spider-Man, but we can all admit that they've been stinkers. So the Smark Avengers have tasked themselves with pitching their own Spider-Man movies with one caveat being that the characters can't have appeared in any other Spider-Man movie. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they discuss the Black Cat, the Enforcers, and a messiah Hydro Man!

The Smark Avengers have been reunited once more! Jon is back to join Corey and Dylan in a deep dive on the Master of Magnetism Magneto as they continue their series of breaking down X-Men characters. Join the Smark Avengers as they discuss the life, times, names, lays, children, psychotic breakdowns, and Magneto getting turned into a baby!

Everyone loves a hero but a hero is only as good as their villain. After all, what would Batman be without Joker, Spider-Man without the Green Goblin, Superman without Lex Luthor, or the X-Men without Magneto? We see these characters as foils for the heroes but every now and then a villain becomes so interesting that you just want to see more of them. Join Corey and Dylan as the Smark Avengers talk about villains who could use their own comic!

What happens when your two cohosts are unable to record? Well, thankfully for Corey he already hosts one podcast on his own and he has the perfect topic to discuss without Dylan and Jon - the world of non-superhero comic books! That's right! No X-Men... No Spider-Man... and no Batman! Join the Smark Avengers Minus Two as Corey talks about Image's Universal Studios Monsters Frankenstein, IDW's Star Trek and Star Trek Defiant, and Mad Cave Studio's Dick Tracy!

It's another week and another show minus Jon. Have no fear, though, as Corey and Dylan provide you with the very first video episode (look up Smark Avengers on Youtube)! Gaze upon their sweet faces as the pair prove once more that this is NOT an X-Men podcast. Join Corey and Dylan as the Smark Avengers discuss their X-Men related pet peeves as well as count how many times Dylan burps into the microphone!

Happy 2025, True Believers! It's a new year with new possibilities and new opportunities. Jon is unfortunately occupied today so the task falls on the remaining two Smark Avengers to discuss the things they hope to see in the world of comics for 2025. Join Corey and Dylan as they discuss their favorite topics ranging from X-Men, Grant Morrison, and 90's comics while going over their predictions and hopes for the new year!

It was the night two days after Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a 7 apple high elf named Dylan.

Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they break down Morrison's alternative take on Santa filled with shamanism, psychedelics, and Christmas cheer!

We've done it once and now we're doing it again! Grab your cowboy hats, boys and girls, because the Smark Avengers are doing another auction! This one is a little different, however, as the Smark Avengers allow the Wheel of Fate to decide who is up for grounds each round. Tune in as Corey, Dylan, and Jon assemble their teams and make the biggest offer in Smark Avengers Auction history!

He's the best he is at what he does and that is... plot armor? Wolverine aka Logan aka James Howlett has been a huge fixture in the world of comic books since his introduction as a mutant crazy enough to go one on one with the Incredible Hulk. Since then he's been a member of and lead multiple variations of the X-Men and X-Force and even served time as an Avenger. So obviously he needs to be knocked down a peg or two. How do you kill a man who has been incinerated by a nuclear bomb? Join the Smark Avengers as Corey, Dylan, and Jon kill Wolverine!

Sometimes a victorious moment is, in actuality, a swan song. Sometimes saving the world means sacrificing everything in return. Sometimes when things are at their darkest you go out with a blaze of glory! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avengers talk about the best deaths in comic books!

Not like this... not like this. Death and comics go hand in hand but not all deaths are created equal however! Not every hero gets the big, martyr sacrifice to save the world. Sometimes they get blown up by doing something dumb, sometimes they get run over by a truck, and sometimes they're killed slowly overtime by the radioactive nature of their lover's bodily fluids. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they talk about the worst deaths in comic books!

The 1990s were a treasure trove of animated superhero shows and very few were bigger than Spider-Man! Spider-Slayers, Venom, Carnage, Doctor Octopus, Hobgoblin, and (you guessed it) Hydroman were just a few of the heavy hitters who were making their televised appearances as Peter Parker balanced life as a photographer and superhero. Join Dylan and Jon as the Smark Avengers take a deep dive into the world of 1994's animated Spider-Man series!

We are children of the 90s. Anthropomorphic animals who fought crime and did karate were all the rage, inappropriate movies adapted to cartoons and toys for kids were common, and who didn't love Uncle Phil voicing any number of cartoon characters. We are children of the 90s. We also discovered that we were fucking idiots as children who had no taste. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avengers watch the first episodes of Battletoads, Toxic Crusaders, and Iron Man! We are children of the 90s.

Peter Quill had a cybernetic what? What does H.A.M.M.E.R. stand for? These aren't the easy MCU questions you might be expecting! Time to put on your thinking caps, true believers! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avengers put their knowledge to the test with a Marvel Comics trivia game!

Dylan is away leaving Corey alone with the Smark Avengers very own cinema fan - Jon! A lot of new and weird sounding projects are coming down the pipeline in the worlds of DC and Marvel's respectful cinematic universes - Dynamic Duo, Bane & Deathstroke, Thunderbolts*, and much more to be exact! Join Corey and Jon as the Smark Avengers talk about the newest offerings from the cinematic comic book world!

It's the fourth and final week of October and the Smark Avengers have some money burning holes in their pockets! After weeks spent talking about spooky and scary and unusual characters... you're going to want to ally yourself with those monsters, right? Like if there are a bunch of monsters out there then you'd probably want some to have at your side, right? The Hobgoblin can't be EVERYONE'S friend though which means he's only going to go to the highest bidder! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avengers have $100 to build the best spooky, scary team of comic characters in a special Halloween auction!

It's the third week of October and the Smark Avengers are still wading through the spooky, macabre, surreal, and supernatural for their favorite characters to talk about. Well... maybe not favorite. Listen, folks, it's hard out here being a monster! There's no union, no minimum wage, and the benefits? Not that great. Yet somebody has to haunt, stalk, creep, and hunt unsuspecting mortals and as the various living appliances on the Flintstones once said... it's a living! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avengers talk about some of the weakest, saddest, and most pitiful supernatural characters in comics history!
