Ep.44 – Warlock No. 9 (1975)

This time on the Couch: The guys try to wrap their heads around 1975's Warlock no. 9, but falter when Shee's explanations involve pop culture references Mike is oblivious to. In the book, Adam Warlock confronts his own future self, the villainous Magus, who turned evil after being imprisoned in a giant rack of ribs floating in space, then emerged with a giant perm and a truckload of finger-waggling sass, upon which he built a galaxy-spanning empire of worshippers before heading back in time to dick over his own past self. Or future self? Whatever. Also, Gamora and a space troll take turns seeing who's more useless. Marvel insists it all makes sense, but they're not setting a good precedent by calling issue 9 a 'premiere.' Also, is Mike actually the future evil version of James, or the other way around? Look for the clues and mail your best guess to the Cosmic Insanity Cocoon, Care of Pip the God-Basher, for a chance to win a bottle of Magus' Detangling Spray!
