Weekly Update - 1/6/19

Tomorrow is the official launch of the podcast, and we're so happy you're all here to be part of it! This will be a huge moment for the show to grow, and any help spreading the word to family or friends you think would be interested is really appreciated.

The issues for this week's episode covering 1961/62 will be posted below. And as always, Patrons at the $5+ level will get access to the Extra Issues bonus show in their Patreon feed (nothing new in that feed this week, since the first episode was posted as early access last month).

If you want your thoughts or questions about the comics of 1961/62 read on the show for our listener response episode, be sure to send us a message at mymarvelousyear@gmail.com by 1/8/19 (two days from now)!

If you're not already on the MMY Slack, make sure to stop by and say "hi", there's a ton of great conversation happening there about these early comics (or whatever else)!

If you are on the Slack, this is a good place to announce a new channel called #noprize! The No Prize was a joke award Marvel "gave away" to readers who wrote in and pointed out continuity errors, and offered good explanations as to why they weren't really errors. In that spirit, we wanted to provide a forum for listeners to come point out all the ways we goof up during the podcast (for example, I called Dr. Doom "Otto Van Doom" during episode one).

The comics we're covering for Marvel Year One: 1961/62 are:

Fantastic Four #1
Amazing Adult Fantasy #7
Fantastic Four #2
Incredible Hulk #1
Fantastic Four #4
Fantastic Four #5
Journey Into Mystery #83, #85
Amazing Fantasy #15
Tales to Astonish #35
Fantastic Four #9  

For 1961/62, Extra Issues is covering:

Rawhide Kid #26: Read if interested
Hulk #3: Skip
Amazing Adult Fantasy #12: Read if interested
Love Romances #97: Read if interested 

You can find the updating list for Extra Issues here, and feel free to suggest issues for the show via email or the #extraissues Slack channel.
