First off: YAY! More David and Co.
Secondly:

It's the not-so-spectacular 50th episode of Marvel Noise!

What's with the Eeyore complex, brother?

[New Mutant]

 
Steve Raker's Swim Bladder!!!!!!  Steve Raker also knows the term "zip-a-tone"   All is forgiven, man! 

(Is David coming back...? )

OI!  Raker?!  Did that keep?  Namor hasn't flown since then?

Next;

Dear Carlos, about Ultimates 3--Where have you been?  That crap got panned from Print One, Issue One.  It was rubbish then and it stayed rubbish.  But thanks for confirming that I saved my money.  And tell me, that crap was only 5 issues, right?  Was it always designed to be 5 issues?  Because I got the impression that it was shortened because it was SO bad and the sales evaporated.

Next;
Steve Raker!  You know what soured me during Byrne's Marvel runs?  His disappearances.  At the time, somehow, I had the impression that he'd have a tantrum with the editors, take his pencils, inks, and typewriter, and go home.  And just when I got to enjoy his stuff.  So I learned to stop setting myself up for failure.  But I did enjoy him.  I think of him like a psycho girlfriend.  When is was good, it was red-hot, but my face got slapped one too many times.

Next;
YAY David A Price's back!!!   Coooooooooooooooo....

[Steve Raker]

Lord Neptune hooked Namor up (puns intended) with mystical armor and restored his wings during the battle with the old, faceless ones that culminated in issue #40.

I hear you on this front, but on this series, he was obviously having fun, winding through the Marvel U with characters and locales...  he hung in there on art 'till #25, and wrote for another 6 issues, so that's time to enjoy the groove he was in, imo! I'll get some covers up shortly....

[Steve Raker]

Covers!:

[Steve Raker]

Whoo-Hoo, 'hat trick': 3 posts in a row! 
The 'Death of Gwen' Marvel Tales I remember first reading had the same cover art as the original ASM issues:



Here's the next time:


The Goblin double-sized issue preceeded it and reprinted the 'Harry/pills' 3 issues of ASM:


Like you said, neither cover is credited, but the Spidey on the Goblin one really looks like Greg LaRouque to me.

[Equinox]

Rats, it showed up on iTunes after I already left for work.  I'll be adding it to the iPod while I'm home for lunch though.

Covers!:

Oh man, I loved that cover!!! I wish I still had that issue... damn it! you are going to make me seek out some more back issues.

[Pat Loika]

Once again, I sounded like crap, and I hope you guys don't mind my unsolicited pimpage of a non-Marvel book.

i know it did but i still held in there for the joe mad art but god that story was crap (so was the art for almost all the series) & as far as i know it was planned for 5 issues.

I just finished ultimates3, too.  Wow, that was bad.  I thought there was supposed to be a mystery!

Another set of issues that'll need to be brought out for further consideration; quality pick Mr. Raker!  Keep 'em coming!

Thanks, buddy! It was really fun re-reading these issues the last couple of weeks!

[ccordova2]

[Alec B.]

Congrats on 50 episodes!

[El Dave]

Hey David, congrats on 50 Marvelous episodes! 

About Gwen Stacy and readers (such as myself) that don't connect with her and why she's important, check out her appearance in the Marvels miniseries. It completely explains why she's Peter's reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Can I request more Iron Man talk on the next episode? From someone? Anyone?

[Mike Sims]

Great episode as always, guys!  I going to have to pull some Essential Spider-Man volumes off the shelve now as I sadly confess... I have never read the death of Gwen Stacy.  

[David]

Thanks, amigo!!

Excellent point!  I have that all set to be re-read (haven't read it since it originally came out in single issues, so it's been awhile), so I'll make sure I touch on that.

Can I request more Iron Man talk on the next episode? From someone? Anyone?

Yes.  I'll work on that for you.  I read #s 5 and 6 of Invincible Iron Man, so that should give me a few minutes to ramble with.

[Dallan]

Alittle behind on my listening, but just wanted to say...

Congratulations on hitting 50, David!!!
            



(Good thing we're talking episodes and not years. )

...I think I can go there, but not with what you'd likely think
