Make Mine Multiversity #139: "Excalibur" (1988) #42-50 with Kelly Thompson; or, Why Can't I Hold All These Technets?!

Welcome Back to Make Mine Multiversity: A Marvel Podcast! Each episode we’ll be looking at Marvel books, old and new! We discuss fun Marvel comics, Marvel news, Marvel history and, now, are putting the "mine" back into Make Mine Multiversity. After taking a month off to recharge, we're back. For those who're new, each month I talk with a guest about a Marvel comic that's memorable to them. Sometimes they're personally meaningful, sometimes it's "I read this a few months ago and its still sticking around." I'm excited to see where it leads. This month I'm welcoming on our first comics professional with Jeff the Landshark co-creator Kelly Thompson. We're talking "Excalibur" (1988) . When I say these comics are bonkers, I mean it. Pure comics joy here, folks. For some bonafides, Kelly has been writing comics for the better part of a decade. Her career has taken her from "Jem and Holograms" to "Nancy Drew" and "Sabrina" to indie and creator-owned titles like "Heart in a Box" and "Black Cloak." At the Big 2, she's had a 50-issue run on "Captain Marvel," is wrapping up her "Birds of Prey" run, and crushing it with "Absolute Wonder Woman." We jump to the early 2000s with three "Punisher MAX" one-shots: "The Tyger," "The Cell," and "The End." Elias can be found writing here at eliasrwrites.ghost.io . Kelly's work can be found at your local comic book shop , on her website , or her newsletter. Our theme music is “Excelsior” by Carol Romo and our audio editor is me, Elias. If the episode is too quiet or, maybe, too loud, blame him. The show is available on Apple Podcasts , Spotify, (Stitcher is apparently dead and buried) and other places so please
