Shelfdust Presents: “The War Effort” #12 With Kirsten Howard and Steve Morris

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!

Here we are: the heroes are all dead, and god-king Doom stands triumphant over all. But there’s one more oversized issue left, so once more special guests Kirsten Howard and Steve Morris join Al in order to talk about the epic conclusion to Secret Wars! They talk about Dr Doom’s man-cave complete with snazzy beanbag chair, Enchantress’s magic talking bath, and then they threaten Al with having to do the Bendis-written Secret War miniseries next. That’ll teach him!

 

The War Effort is produced by the immensely talented Dave Bulmer, who you can follow on Twitter here. Our logo comes from the tremendously gifted mind of James Wendelborn, who is on Twitter here. Thank you to them both for their incredible work – give them a follow!
