Shelfdust Presents: “The War Effort” #1 with Jay Edidin and Paul O’Brien

Hosted by Al Kennedy

Welcome to Shelfdust Presents: The War Effort, a special twelve-part podcast which will see our cosmic host Al Kennedy joined by some of the best voices in comics podcasting and criticism as they wisely attempt to revisit, recap and reassess every single issue of Marvel’s Secret Wars series from 1984! Can the combined might of Earth’s most powerful comics podcasters defeat the ultimate menace?? Over the next twelve weeks we’ll try to find out!

For this, our first special collector’s edition episode, Al is joined by special guests Jay Edidin and Paul O’Brien to talk about, appropriately, Secret Wars #1. They discuss The Beyonder’s great big smashy plan for the heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe, Spider-Man getting an Incredible piggyback, and Doc Ock’s sense of fashion. And more!
