The Wasp turns 60! Janet Van Dyne is a mother figure, a good friend, a team leader, and was responsible for naming the Avengers! In honor of 60 years of the Wasp, we’re celebrating all the ways Janet has supported her friends, family, and many teams. Plus — of course — we can’t have an episode about Janet without talking about fashion! Ellie and Preeti bring in Marvel editor Alanna Smith, Marvel’s queen of variant covers and fashion connoisseur Emily Newcomen, (real life) wasp scientist Dr. Seirian Sumner, and writer Rainbow Rowell to help explore all facets of what make Janet so special.
