Abomb to Zzzax: My Favourite Marvel Character with Colin Hoult

A-BOMB

Season 1, Ep. 1
•

Comics Nerd Colin Hoult and his best / only pals Dan and Jamie begin their mission to discover and review every marvel comics character ever! What an absurd but joyous mission.


This week: A-bomb! I'm afraid they are not impressed although Colin finds him strangely adorable.

  • 18. WAS WONDER MAN EVER INTERESTING (PRE-MCU)?

    44:54||Season 2, Ep. 18
    Look, up in the sky... oh no, hang on, that's someone else. Join Colin and Nick as they take a look at a hero neither of them has paid much attention to before, Simon Williams AKA Wonder Man as they ask the question:- is it worth bothering with the comics or should you just watch the excellent series instead (what do you mean, "leading question"?) Also they take a look at his brother, the Grim Reaper and Doorman (who is generally unrelated to Wonder Man with the exception of the series). Enjoy!Issues Read1045.

  • 17. WHO'S THE SCARIEST SENTINEL?

    44:07||Season 2, Ep. 17
    Look out, the machines are taking over! In what feels like a very timely episode, Colin and Nick take a look at the man-made machines menacing the mutants of the Marvel universe (yeah, maybe all this Stan and Jack has been rubbing off on us, alliteratively speaking). Are the Sentinels a terrifying look at the future of robotics or another 60s misunderstanding of how robots work? Is it OK to just do the Iron Giant but with a sentinel? What is a Siege Perilous? And does Bastion's origin make any sense at all? Listen and find out!Issues Read:-244. Bastion Machine Man / Bastion Annual '98245. Bolivar TraskUncanny X-Men (1963) #14246.

  • 16. DAMAGE CONTROL VS THE WRECKING CREW

    46:46||Season 2, Ep. 16
    Let's get wrecked! This week, Colin and Nick are taking a look at Damage Control and the Wrecking Crew as next on the list is Bart Rozum (no, us neither). It's thumping, smashing, head-butting frenzy of destruction (and mildly incompetent clean-up)Issues Read:-Bart Rozum & Damage Control (group) Damage Control #1 (Sept 1989)Wrecking Crew Defenders (1974) #18-19413.

  • 15. KRAVEN THE HUNTER

    01:10:40||Season 2, Ep. 15
    Colin and Nick are joined by returning and (hopefully) recurring pal James O'Donoghue to take a look at Spidey's animal-tracking foe, Kraven The Hunter. It's also a chance to (mercifully) finish off our look at the SPUMC movies with a bit of chat about Kraven's inexplicable movie. Plus, given that they also feature in the film, we'll dive into Rhino, Chameleon and Calypso too.

    50:13||Season 2, Ep. 13
    BARON STRUCKER, VIPER, BOB AND GORGONJoin Colin and Nick as they take a look at a fascist organisation hellbent on world domination (yes, maybe a bit on the nose in early 2026). They take a look at Baron Strucker (baldy fascist), Viper (sexy fascist), Gorgon (stabby fascist) and Bob (in-it-for-the-healthcare fascist). Cut off the head and two shall grow!

  • 12. THE EPISODE THAT'S NOT AN EPISODE

    25:54||Season 2, Ep. 12
    Colin and Nick are still taking a little post-festive break so, to tide you over in the meantime, here's a little taster of some of the bonus content that we're putting out on the Patreon in a frankly shameless attempt to encourage new subscribers (boo, capitalism!). We talk a little bit about the Zombie, Simon Garth, and the Marvel universe's version of Frankenstein's Monster (both covered way back in Season 1 episode 19, fact fans!)Enjoy and we'll be back with full episodes from next week!
