Ultimate Milksops - Ultimate Spider-Man #5 w/ James III
Listen now
Description
The Milksops welcome TV writer / podcaster / comics creator James III to the show! You may know James as a co-creator / co-star of the Netflix sketch show The Astronomy Club, or from his podcast Black Men Can't Jump In Hollywood.  Friends from the UCB Theatre in NYC, the Milksops and James dive into another issue of the Bendis/Bagley run of Ultimate Spider-Man. This is issue #5, which takes place immediately after the death of Uncle Ben. It's a terrific issue which puts all of the strengths of this run (emotional nuance, going slow, emotional art) to great effect. We also talk to James about how he became a comics fan. Even though he started reading after he was in his 20s, he made up for lost time, going through a ton of issues. We also talk about his comic Junior! He's doing a Kickstarter to fund another batch of issues and if you'd like you can support it below.
