It’s here! As trailed on our last episode, Paul and I are pleased to present the first episode of The Lightning Round, an in-depth re-read show all about Marvel’s Most Wanted, the Thunderbolts! Each episode we’ll be looking at a few (usually 3-6) issues of the series, plus key tie-ins and guest appearances, checking off a few of the things to watch out for and chatting through all the twists and turns in this twistiest and turniest of series.<\/p>\n
In episode 1, we’re covering Incredible Hulk <\/em>#449, Tales of the Marvel Universe, <\/em>and Thunderbolts <\/em>#s 1 and 2. If you haven’t read the series before, be aware that this episode does contain spoilers for the first year of the book<\/strong>, though the intention is that there should be less need for this in future episodes. This episode is also a little longer than future instalments are likely to be (we’re aiming for around 40-45 minutes in future), but that’s largely because there’s an understandable amount of set-up and background to get through.<\/p>\n The podcast is here<\/a>, or here<\/a> on Mixcloud, or available through the embedded player below. We hope you enjoy it, but please let us know what you think, in the comments below, on Twitter, via email or through our Facebook fan page<\/a>.
