If you have any interest in comic history and characters, whether you're a lifetime fan or a new recruit, Divisive Issues is for you. These guys love comics and know their stuff on a deep level, but the conversation is always very approachable and fun. Follow along as they tackle some of the most controversial books in the history of the medium.
It's time! Our podcast is ending, and so is Marvel's Ultimate universe! Jeff Loeb's contentious ULTIMATUM serves as the Final Destination of our comic book critique, and we have a loooot of things to say about it—almost two hours of material! For this crossover event we pull our original host Joe out of the Speed Force to help us analyze this wacky, wacky story. Thank you very much for supporting Divisive Issues all these years—we hope you've enjoyed listening to us as much as we've enjoyed stubbornly arguing with one another! Stay in continuity!

The gang's back to talk about Darryl's mentor, Death's Head II. The time traveling, multiple personality, cybernetic assassin. Or something like that, I don't know. It's dumber than ever. But also... great? If you haven't heard part one, it'll either help or make it worse.
We cover: Issues 1-4 of Death's Head II's ongoing series
Darryl continues to stan for the dumbest character in existence, Ryan stans for "little font" Jubilee, Sly can't garner one iota of concern for Tuck, and Phil's just here for the T&A. If you thought everyone was mean to Death's Head (and Darryl) before, you ain't heard nothin' yet bub!

On this episode, the gang watches Batman grow up and develop from only hallucinating Robin dying, to causing it, then to only witnessing it. Again and again and again. We cover a bunch of Robin's fake out deaths from the 60s and 70s! Not to be confused with the time he actually died in the 80s, which we covered exactly a year ago!
Ryan is bamboozled by how AIR TIGHT the plots of these stories are, Darryl thinks Batman shouldn't be wasting his time advancing science, Sly defends every comic in this episode, and Phil wishes Robin was actually dead.

On this episode, the gang gets weird. We cover the standalone Doom Patrol spin-off book on everyone's favorite HERO. OF. THE BEACH. Flex Mentallo! Never heard of him? Don't worry, maybe it's just because superheroes had to turn fictional to save our universe? Buckle up for a postmodern journey and remember, the fish gets changed more than the water!
Read Along: Flex Mentallo: Man Of Muscle Mystery By Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely
Darryl wants to know why this is all happening, Phil wants to know how this is all happening, Sly has given up, and Ryan's as happy as a kid in a candy store. As our hero Grant Morrison says, "Those comics, they really #&@! you up something.

Our Annual extravaganza must once more come to a close, as we finish the second half of the Mark Millar epic, Ultimates 2. Does it fly off the rails as hard as Ultimates 1, which we covered last year? Listen to find out! And make sure you listen to part one first!
Read along: Ultimates 2
On this episode, we get INTO it. The four hosts choose some interesting lines in the sand on if the Avengers movie improved on Millar's work or, god forbid, took away from it? Ryan think anything less than 10 issues is too subtle and rushed. Sly has some shocking reveals on his opinions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Phil discusses the nuances of mental health awareness, through the lens of a teenaged edgelord. And Darryl might be the only one left with any sense on what constitutes a good book anymore.

In this episode, the gang continues what they started and read Mark Millar's Ultimates 2. The Millarfication of the Marvel Universe continues! This is the one that everyone seems to love, but will the gang agree with the general consensus? It's a Mark Millar book so probably not. But tune in anyway to find out!
This is actually our second take at this episode because we actually did lose our original audio despite our claims to the contrary in the emergency MCU episode. So in this episode, gasp as Ryan's lie is revealed, laugh as Sly gets his kneecaps broken, cry as Phil gives his heartfelt apologies, and snore as Darryl recalls the points he made during our original take.

We finally finish talking about Ms. Marvel, Captain Marvel, and Marvel Comics in general as we wrap up this long trek through comic history with Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel. And we end it on a high note.
In this episode, we all praise G. Willow Wilson and her success at an editorially mandated Marvel character, Kamala Khan. Ryan is the loremaster this time around because Sly is just too hyped about the next Edgelord August. Phil was just a big smily face emoticon while reading this and Darryl has finally gotten over his ex, Carol Danvers.
