This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée line their cage with Hawkman no. 7! In the first adventure, the sunlight-powered villain I.Q. is on the loose and only Hawkman and Hawkgirl care enough to try to stop him! Can the Hawks put an end to the man whose whole thing is that he's kinda smart under certain conditions? Let's just say there's a reason he's not a Batman villain. Then, the Hawks travel to Egypt to confront buff dudes in animal masks decades before 'Eyes Wide Shut' made that kind of thing cool.…

This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée let the jokes write themselves when they read Giant-Size Man-Thing no. 1! He's got a silly name, a sillier nose, and the silliest book title of all, it's Man-Thing! And he's taking on the greatest threat of all: Philosophy students! Then, it's a bevy of batty back-up stories involving ice monsters, invisible men, and insecure alien invaders! Celebrate Halloween with a sugar rush of comic book nonsense!…

Enraged at the world that done him wrong, the man with the animal powers has decided to get literal with it and transform himself into an horrific chimera creature!

This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée spend some time with the member of Batman's rouge's gallery who's spent the least amount of time coming up with his gimmick, Man-Bat! It's the second and final issue of Man-Bat's swingin' 70s solo series, and the scientist-turned-chiropteran (it means 'bat') is going out with a bang! Having moved to Chicago to escape the rampant Batman-related face-punchery of Gotham City, Man-Bat instead finds himself in the crosshairs of the nefarious Ten-Eyed Man! It's the battle of the D-tier Batman villains and the stakes couldn't be lower! Crank up that new Rough Muffin album and get ready to root for no one!…

This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée zip on back to 1941 to check out Zip Comics no. 17! It's eight big, bountiful tales of pugilism and WWII-era patriotism as a load of beefy dudes punch each other out in the name of freedom! But if that's not your bag, don't worry: There's also explorations into circus crime, cow physics, and an incident with a couple of young boys and a very hungry witch that will get us demonetized if we don't stop describing it right this minute. So just press play before we get in as much hot water as those two unlucky boys found themselves in that one unfortunate day!…

1:34:11

This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée swoop down and gracefully land on Darkhawk no. 1! Young Christopher Powell is a typical angsty 90s kid with a couple of dopey brothers and a set of parents who can't seem to figure out how to take an easy bribe. But when his family's overall schmuckiness lands him in a creepy abandoned carnival, he'll discover a mystical lava lamp that gives him the power to transform into the mighty avenger known as Darkhawk! Yes, he's still entirely forgettable, but when it comes to most of the flavorless gruel Marvel churned out in the early 90s, maybe you're actually hoping not to be remembered.…

Time-traveler/suburban loungewear model Rip Hunter has been called upon to get rid of a dangerous meteor that's been hanging out at Stonehenge for centuries, becoming an object of worship for the easily-impressed buffoons of the past! Rip will gather the most whitebread people you've ever seen in your life and start ping-ponging through the ages, disrespecting the ancient gods, the timestream, and history as a whole until a solution just kinda... makes itself known. Just goes to show you how far you can go with a clean shirt and a well-maintained coif of blonde hair.…

This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée fry their circuits over Magnus, Robot Fighter no. 9! In the year 4001 AD, there are only two things that sci-fi adventurer Magnus hates: Robots, and the idea that any robot has gone unfighted.

Well, that all depends: Does fighting robots prevent all-out war? Then yes. Magnus is your guy.…

This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée put on a fresh pair of JNCOs and check out Knighthawk no. 1! It's the radical '90s, and Neal Adams' latest creation Knighthawk is destined to be the edgiest superbro on the comics rack! Sure, Spawn's cool, but did he ever decimate an orphanage with his cyberclaws just to make a point about equality? Huh, did he? We're seriously asking, we never read the comics; It would've destroyed their resale value, and it's juuust about time to cash all those puppies in to buy our megamansions. Looks like hinging your entire future on a speculative bubble was the most extreme adventure of all!

1:38:09

This time on the Couch: Mike, James, and Shée are deemed worthy to lift Journey into Mystery no. 89! Thor, a literal god who controls thunder, must do battle with a crooked businessman who sold poor building materials to the city! Can the thunder god defeat this most wily of villains? Yes. Very, very easily. It honestly wasn't even an adventure worth writing down in the first place. Must've been a slow week in the Marvel universe. I bet a lot of people made it to work on time that Monday.…

Enter the Bulldozer, who never actually bulldozes anything, but rather sows seeds of dissent among the slums of New York! Luckily, the good Cap is willing to cut short his bro sesh with new BFF Sam Wilson, aka the Falcon, to deal with the situation. Will his usual strategy of throwing his shield at the enemy and then calling Tony Stark when that doesn't work solve the problem? Well, the slums are still standing, aren't they?

Jack "Mr. Magnificent" Magniconte and his team of NFL pros with way too much time on their hands take a break from whatever it is that got them a comic book and actually decide to play some football for once! Unfortunately, their opponents are a pack of spine-snapping maniacs known as the Wreckers! Can Magniconte hack it against them on the field, while also dodging the mounting accusations of steroid use?
