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!

Dr Doom is very interested in the idea of beating up god and stealing all his stuff, which means it’s time to talk about issue #10 of Secret Wars! Al joined by special guests Kelly Kanayama and Chloe Maveal to discuss the particular sound that Reed Richards’ bones make, The Thing’s poetic side, and what it’d look like if Magneto were a fashion Influencer with a grudge. Also Doom fights a god, if you’re into that sort of thing.
