The 90s Never Happened

The 90s Never Happened

Ever wonder if your favorite 90s comic books hold up? Are you worried nostalgia is clouding your memories? Do you want to hear a trio of dorks discuss this? If you bothered answering those hypothetical questions at all, The 90s Never Happened is the podcast for you! Join Daniel Aegan as he drags Jude Graves and Bree Rose through a decade mired in slop. Find out if the big guns and bigger breasts of 90s comics stood the test of time. Will Jude’s comic virginity save her from a decade out to harm her mind? Will Bree be able to contain her giggles during any given episode? Will Dan be able to hold it all together when his co-hosts can’t go a minute without making things feel hot and wrong? The 90s are back, and no one is happy about it. Join the crew and relive events like Maximum Carnage, Fatal Attractions, that time Wolverine ripped off Thing’s face, and more action than you can handle. This will be your only warning.

Welcome to The 90s Never Happened, your one-stop podcast for everything you wanted to know about 90s comics but are too afraid to ask! 

Jude and Bree have been absolutely frothing at the bit for an episode about marvel's hardest hero. He's big, he's bald, he's badass. I'm speaking, of course, of Luke Cage. Daniel has his work cut out for him presenting the first two issues of 1992's Cage to the horniest women this side of a co...

This week, through no fault of their own, Dan, Jude, and Bree find themselves lost in the Spider-Man/X-Force crossover "Sabotage". Black Tom Cassidy blew up the World Trade Center, brought Juggernaut back from an undisclosed dimension, and all hell has broken loose in New York City. Can the co...

"What are we, some kind of X-Force?"

Dan, Jude, and Bree finished New Mutants in lackluster style in our last episode, and we've moved onto Rob Liefeld's X-Force. We read the first three issues and dissect the art, writing, story, and discuss the mania around this new title. Does it hold up? I...

Last week we discussed the Rob Liefeld and his contributions to the world of sloppy comic book creation. This time around, we're reading some of his work in 1991's New Mutants issues 98-100. How did Robby do when he took over writing and drawing the final three issues of this iconic run? How m...

Amazingly, we've gotten to episode 18 without having to talk about 90s "icon" Rob Liefeld. Before diving into his run on New Mutants and X-Force, we get into the man behind the feet, pockets, and question-mark-shaped women. Who was Rob Liefeld, and can this podcast do his legend justice?

If Johnny Cochran were alive today, he'd have a thing or two to say about this week's episode. Since he's gone, Dan, Jude, and Bree are stuck lamenting over the second nuttiest trial of the nineties. That's right, it's the Trial By Jury three-issue arc from Amazin...

Like Spidey, Maximum Carnage is kicking our asses. So, this week, Dan, Jude, and Bree decide to take a break from it to hear some lore.

Dan, Jude, and Bree continue their reading of 1993's Spider-Man crossover Maximum Carnage with parts 6-9(lol). The sheer amount of new hero intros exhaust the crap out of us, but we persevere to discuss how Mary Jane is the real hero, Spider-Man is wrong about pretty much everything, and how the writers were venting their frustration in the narrative.
