Weekly Update - 3/17/19
Added 2019-03-17 17:25:15 +0000 UTCHey MMY-ers! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
First off, I want to announce that we've got a new Patreon tier at $10: The Avengers Tier! If you back us at this tier, we'll give you a named shout-out during Variant Cover episodes (starting in 1966) where we will assign you super powers and a secret identity (you can let us know if you want to be a hero or villain)! Keep backing us and we'll build out the mythology of the MMY Super Universe with each Variant Cover episode! We'll be adding some more benefits to this tier in the not-too-distant future, as well.
This week's Variant Cover is a free-wheeling discussion of the poll results, the Stan Lee tribute in Captain Marvel (no spoilers), our personal entry points into superhero comics, favorite lesser-known villains, and if Reed Richards should be portrayed as more of a sexist!
This week's episode is Marvel Year Four: 1965 Variant Cover, due out tomorrow 3/18/19. Please get any 1966 feedback for us to discuss on our next Variant Cover episode by 4/2/19. You can send it to mymarvelousyear@gmail.com.
THE COMICS COVERED FOR 1966, PT. 1 ARE:
Amazing Spider-Man #31 to #33
Fantastic Four #46 to #53
Tales of Suspense #78
In addition, $3+ Patrons will get access to Extra Issues, the bonus newsletter that fleshes out each year's readings. Extra Issues: 1965 will cover the Dragon Man, Thor's Trial of the Gods, Ka-Zar, Captain America's Silver Age origin re-telling, and many more. That issue should be out sometime early this week.

Comments
Because I thought it was really dull. I hate issues where Thor is fighting in U.S. wars, and the thread gets picked up in #118 in more interesting ways.

2019-03-19 05:01:46 +0000 UTCI think we're going to give a shout-out, assign a name and powers. In subsequent weeks, we'll fill in details and exploits. I wouldn't expect a sweeping audio drama, mostly just a little goofing around and some thanks to the backers.
