S3 EP.20: It’s a work-wife thing – Reviewing relationships in comics

The guys (Kareem, Ken, and Pat) spend some time reviewing some of the most legendary relationships in comics. Tangents include using climate change to thwart protest, pro-choice vs. Fake news, the Inhumans practicing Mormonism, and more.

Show Notes

Relationships in comics are always hard, especially for superheroes. Complicated double lives and the responsibility of saving the world are often too much for most couples, but some get back together no matter what. Both DC and Marvel showcased some bad and good romantic couples, which became quite popular among the fans, and that prompted us to look into some of the best superhero couples that appeared in comic book media.

Of course, it’s hard to be fully objective with these lists, so bear with me and my explanations of each relationship. The list will strictly include couples that are both superheroes, but with one exception, which I will explain in more detail. If you’re interested, stay with us until the end. Also, this list isn’t ranked, and each entry could be placed anywhere.

Pat insists they were profound. Ken insists they were unhinged. Both are probably right.From there, the conversation swerves into the tall grass. The trio tries to figure out why Transformers actually transform, whether “Decepticons” is a name that should have been retired decades ago, and how to stitch G.I. Joe, Transformers, and the Fast and the Furious into one cinematic universe without breaking the laws of physics or taste.It is exactly the kind of episode where a simple Comic‑Con debrief becomes a dissertation on toy‑based geopolitics, automotive theology, and franchise chaos theory.Settle in.
