  1. Well since Jon yelled at me on the Mailbag episode today , I’m going to stop being lazy and comment again. Though I apparently forgot to take notes on the Deadpool 2 special and episodes 6 and 7. Anyway! On to Episode 8!

    Strange Tales #102- You had said something (I forget what) about where to find reprints of these stores. All of them are also available on Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited where I (sadly) read them.

    Fantastic Four #8- The Puppet Master isn’t a mutant. The clay comes from Wundagore Mountain. It’s where the High Evolutionary originally had his base and created his New Men. It’s also where the spirit of the elder demon Chthon, who wrote the magical book the Darkhold, was imprisoned AND I’m pretty sure where Jessica Drew got here Spider-Woman powers, among other things.

    I’m really wondering how was able to marry Alicia’s mom. I’m sure his puppets had NOTHING to do with it.

    So Puppet Master also has robots? Maybe the Tinkerer has a mail-order business?
