ROHOTMU stands for Random Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. This will be an occasional entry into our podcast lore where I (Shawn) open up to a random page of said OHOTMU and discuss the character that I see. Maybe its someone cool, maybe it’s someone lame - who knows. All we can say is that the Grandmaster is the first one and he can never really die.

When that goes awry, the poor lady gets shot, forcing her loud husband to take an unethical gig faking a sarcophagus.

X-Men: Curse of the Man-Thing #1 (2021)A disturbed woman has performed Sub-Zero’s finisher on Man-Thing and is currently living his body, WEEKEND AT BERNIE’s style. Flammable spores have infiltrated the globe’s metropolitan areas, immolating jabroni citizens and generally being gross to look at.

Blackwulf #1 (1994)This week, we delve into some random 90s excess with Blackwulf, Marvel’s attempt to get the Deviants over for a spell. Blackwulf ends up being two dudes - the rebellious Plops and the future monkey man Lucian. One guy’s got a glowing sword, the other has a glowing stick but neither has any charisma.

Because there weren’t enough hot takes out on the internet, Jen and Shawn drop their thoughts on the Zack Snyder cut of JUSTICE LEAGUE (2017).

Suicide Squad [vol 7] #1 (2021)The current comic cavalcade continues as we check out what’s going on with DC and the Infinite Frontier. Turns out - more of the same with an incredibly handsome Rick Flagg facing off against badass Amanda Waller.

Upon their re-emergence, the more nefarious citizens kidnap Bill Clinton and and have him replaced with a sarcastic shapeshifter.

Sensational She-Hulk #26 (1991)She-Hulk is hired to defend Excalibur's Meggan when Meggan turns into a trash monster and runs amok in a Nando’s. The caveat here is now is that CAPTAIN BRITAIN has now been possessed by trash to the point where he’s just sitting around eating it. Like used wrappers and apple cores and all that.

Batman / Catwoman #1 (2020)We start the new year off with the good stuff as we explore the Black Label version of Batman and Catwoman.

Defenders #63 (1978)Its our 300th episode! Thank you for joining us here on the podcast each week for the past six (!) years.To celebrate, we jump into a Defenders book where every C-level hero (and Captain Marvel for some reason) got the impression it was fair game to become a Defender. Hulk peaces out pretty quick, leaving Valkyrie, Hercules and Knighthawk to lead an offensive against villains in NYC. Hellcat drives a Barbie car, Hellstorm gets threatened with a lawsuit and Hercules calls some dude a cabbage.

Falling In Love #131 (1972)We get fancy this week as we read from an out-of-date trade of romance comics from DC. And much like most 70s romance comics, this one’s a lark of a story about a girl whose mother can’t stop plucking away her boyfriends. You see, Mom’s 36 but she’s still a looker and can get crunk with the kids of today and their Lil Jon. Things come to a head when the daughter meets Neil Brazzers, a corny AF dude who is angling for a quadruple with Mom, Daughter and 70s Stan Lee.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Captain America #413 (1993)It has been long overdue but we finally make our way back to LADY MALL~! as Cap and Diamondback try to take down MODAM and the Femizons. In this issue, Cap fights a literal who’s who of jabroni villains including Batroc, Stilt-Man, the previously dead Ringer, Man-Ape, Man-BULL and maybe even Man-Puss. Cap gets creepy with MODAM and shows off his muscular taint.

Infinite Crisis Special: Villains United #1 (2006)All of the big heroes are off dealing with the Infinite Crisis so now is as good as time as any for Lex Luthor to get the band back together and rule the world with a Secret Society of Super-Villains. Lex starts off strong by intimidating prison wardens into releasing their meta-human inmates but then it kind of goes off the rails with Toyman spiking the prison chowder with rage sauce and the heroes getting the upper hand. Thankfully for us, in the middle of all this, Talia pours hot coffee on Doctor Light’s crotch because Doctor Light is a bonafide piece of garbage. Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

In the middle of the night, a medieval pick-up artist negs Wanda into taking a trip up the Swiss Alps. Pietro freaks out, tells a lonely old man to shove breakfast up his ass and jobs out to a forcefield.

Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #1 (1954) / Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #2 (1954)Jimmy Olson, Superman’s dumbest Earth friend (I don’t know - he might have a Kryptonian equivalent), continues to ruin Superman and Clark Kent’s lives. In the first story, Jimmy handles a to-do list for Superman while he’s out saving folks in Switzerland. Instead of, you know, getting pets out of trees, Jimmy opts to mediate a labor dispute using shadow puppets and cheap wigs.In the second story, Jimmy bodies an interplanetary potion and dreams that he can fly. He uses these powers to join the circus only to tragically drown in front of thousands.

WildC.A.T.s Annual #1 (2000)We finally got around to messing with a WildC.A.T.s book on the show and its smack dab in the middle of their jabroni period where the original team died and angry cyborgs ran amok. In this (I guess) annual, Grifter’s brother Condition Red returns from the dead only to get returned to dust by Grifter himself. Its not all that exciting but thankfully we spend a considerable amount of time with Ladytron, the ornery cyborg who breaks off arms in arm-wrestling contests like Jeff Goldblum in THE FLY. Warblade is there to back here up in the subsequent bar fight but we don’t get to see it because it’s more important to dwell on dead/undead sibling brother relations.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

After an EMP, only one OMAC remains - Kevin Costner’s son Mike - who rebels against the Brother Eye by crashing into the Nevada desert and stealing cigarettes from a traveling caravan of strippers.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Route 666 #3 (2002)ROUTE 666 follows Cassie, a gymnast on an alternate Earth-like planet, who develops the power to see dead people. She can’t stop inadvertently killing those around her so she gets committed to a sanitarium (welcome home) run by a cannibal Tobias Funke. Tobias eats a dude’s neck so Cassie bolts and ruins the lives of a local sheriff and his son. Also, let’s not forget this time…..money plane.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Silver Sable and The Wild Pack #3 (1992)Welcome back to the show, Silver! It’s a shame that Silver Sable never really gets more of a shine (pun intended) in the Marvel media offerings. She’s got a unique look and she likes to f*ckfight with her ex-husband Lou Gramm, the Foreigner. She’s also got a rogues gallery (or maybe just a single rogue) featuring the likes of Gattling, the unholy union of Brock Lesnar and Jesse Ventura’s gun from PREDATOR. We also get to hang out with Silver’s Wild Pack consisting of a Proud Boy, a torture enthusiast, the forgotten Bucky and the Sandman. He’s there too.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Outcasts #3 (1987)OUTCASTS is about the mutant-hating future where they send said mutants to the moon to hang out with corporate Pinhead at a resort colony where the men get gassed to death. The women and their children are harvested for enzymes that let old people live forever and get sexually aroused. Fighting against the status quo are the Outcasts, comprised of Ricardo Montalban, a blue zombie, albino Kane and cyborg Sloth from THE GOONIES. Also, some dude gets impaled by a skateboard.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Comics’ Greatest World: Hero Zero #1 (1993)In this Dark Horse offering, some kid runs out into the freezing Nevada desert in the middle of the night to turn himself into a giant pastel Iron Man-looking ripoff. It’s not for nothing though as he punches a reluctant dragon and shatters it into pygmy monsters. Also, we meet up again with the Rimjob and the Waffle Aliens from our previous encounter with COMICS GREATEST WORLD.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Thunderstrike #13 (1994)Thunderstrike and Luke Cage team up to track down a former college basketball standout-turned-bison monster into the bowels of a barbershop where a rouge S.H.I.E.L.D. operative whips out his Mandroid. We’ve also got some phone-related action as Luke uses the phone inside of a renovated porno theatre while Mephisto (maybe?) has an extremely moist conversation with a henchman. On top of all that, Thunderstrike becomes roommates with a Celestial murderess who has never seen the original STAR WARS!Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Hourman #8 (1999)DC decided that after a few random JLA appearances that the new android Hourman was hip enough to get his own series. It was a dubious call to some but adding Snapper Carr as a human tether is not going to help you in the long run. In this issue, Hourman isn’t even there so we’re stuck with jabroni-ass Snapper bargaining with demons over cheesecake, making ketchup pentagrams and generally just sitting in a swamp of his own sweat. Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Poison Elves #19 (1996)POISON ELVES was a super-indie cult comic about, well, elves that like to dress up like ninjas and seek vengeance against other elves and maybe some humans. In this particular issue, Lusiphur the Assassin Elf drops some serious ultra-violence on a warehouse full of villains (?) that may or may not have killed his father and caused his mother to get gangrene in her foot.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Starjammers [vol 2] #5 (2005)STARJAMMERS are a group of Marvel space pirates, one of which is Cyclops’s dad. Since that would be interesting, he doesn’t appear in this book. We do get in its place the tale of a young military cadet disillusioned with what he’s been fighting for as the government raids a planet of Groots to use their seeds for drug snacks.FYI - there was some audio botching in the later half of the ep. We did our best to get it right but we apologize for the grossness of the audio.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

JLA Classified #6 (2006)Booster Gold screws around in Doctor Fate’s tower and accidentally sends a bunch of JLAers and himself to Hell. Instead of being melted and tortured by the Spinner of Lies, fast food franchise owner Etrigan approaches them with the option to work at his burger joint and avoid demon slaughter. Meanwhile, back on non-Hell Earth (but really, what’s the difference), Power Girl and Guy Gardner get snippy with each other and devise a plan to save their friends. We never get to that plan but we do witness Guy offering to lick Power Girl’s whole face like Rick James in the club.Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at [email protected], get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.
