Give Me Comics or Give Me Death

Single Issue Favourites

Season 1, Ep. 17

In the season finale Mike and Lee talk about some of their favourite ever single issues, including some X-Men, some Spider-Man and take a brief respite from Marvel in Midnighter. They explore what makes a great single issue comic and how the medium has changed since the 90s - or "about a decade ago" as Mike likes to thinks of it.


Plus what Mike and Lee have read this week, and another addition to the Comics or Death Museum.
