Show Notes

Something feels off with Marvel Comics… but what exactly is going wrong?

In this relaxed follow-up episode, Corey, Dylan, and Jon continue their discussion on the current state of Marvel Comics, diving deeper into the growing frustrations around cancellations, constant relaunches, and confusing creative decisions.

From books getting cancelled before they can find an audience, to endless new #1 issues, the guys break down why modern Marvel can feel inconsistent — and whether the publisher is hurting its own long-term storytelling.

🧠 Topics discussed include:

The cycle of quick cancellations and relaunches

Why so many series never get time to grow

The impact of constant #1 resets on readers

Creative decisions that feel rushed or unfocused

Whether Marvel has lost the patience it once had with its titles

Is this just the reality of modern comics… or is Marvel making things harder on itself?

This episode is a candid, laid-back conversation about what’s working, what isn’t, and what fans actually want from Marvel right now.
