The Guilt-Trip Superhero

December 15, 2012 at 3:00pm • 1 hour 41 minutes • Wiki Entry

With great power comes the responsibility to book great guests. And so when it came time to discuss "The Amazing Spider-Man" and Spidey in general, Jason turned to reknowned spider-fans Andy Ihnatko and Dan Benjamin. We discuss how the Spidey in the new movie is a different sort of guilt-trip superhero. Dan explains why you can't actually kill a spider. Andy previews his new comic book, The Indigestible Spider-Man. We touch on the changes in Ultimate Spider-Man and speculate about the soon-to-arrive Amazing Spider-Man #700. Jason sings two different Spidey theme songs and does his J. Jonah Jameson impression. This giant-sized episode is more Spidey than you can shake a web at.

Special guests Andy Ihnatko & Dan Benjamin.
