Chris and
Cindy celebrate the first anniversary of Super Mates, and
Valentine’s Day with a look at famous
Super Hero weddings! Hear them discuss the legendary nuptials of some of the world’s greatest super heroes!
First
off, it’s the wedding of Aquaman and
Mera in Aquaman (vol. 1) #18! Aquaman becomes the king of Atlantis, but he must choose a queen! Despite his love for
Mera, he must marry an Atlantean!
Will the two love birds work it out, or will Arthur feel the fury of a Sea Queen scorned?!?
It’s
wall to wall action in Fantastic Four (vol. 1) Annual #3,
1965! Dr. Doom sets out to disrupt
the happy day of Mr. Fantastic and the
Invisible Girl! He sends an army of
villains to the Baxter Building, but luckily the entire Marvel Universe of heroes shows up to
stop them! Oh, and there is a wedding at the end. Lee and Kirby at their whackiest!
Then
it’s a much quieter event in Tales of the Teen Titans #50. You
are invited to the wedding of Donna
(Wonder Girl) Troy and Terry Long. Marv
Wolfman and George Perez present a wedding with no flights, no tights but
plenty of nice character moments.
Cindy’s
guest-spot on Disney, Indiana is now available!

(aka Earth 2 Chris) co-hosts the Power Records Podcast with the esteemed Rob
Kelly over at the Fire
and Water Podcast feed!
FINALLY this show's anti-Aquaman bias comes to an end! Re: when exactly Aquaman was considered the defacto King of Atlantis, that's a great question--it is never addressed in the solo Aquaman comic, so I need to go dig out my 70s Adventure Comics and see if it is covered there. I had completely forgotten the whole "we elected you King" angle from AQUAMAN #18.
ReplyDeleteWe would love to have Cindy on THE FIRE AND WATER PODCAST again, but her potty mouth would mean we'd have to mark the show with an Explicit tag.
Even as a teen, I loved TEEN TITANS #50 because it was so unusual at the time--no fights, no tights (mostly)--just a character issue. I loved all the in-jokes and character bits, to me that issue remains a highlight of the series, and a prime example of what Wolfman and Perez brought to the series, and superhero comics in general.
Great episode!
Hey now, we started off talking about Aquaman and Mera, remember?
ReplyDeleteYeah the "elected king" bit really surprised me. Let us know what you find out!
Re: Cindy on F&W with explicit tag: Because you and Shag NEVER curse or use profanity! (sarcasm)
Agree, agree, and re-agree on Titans #50. It is a highlight in one of comics' greatest runs, bar none!
Thanks Rob!
