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.

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!  Amazingly, we've gotten to episode 18 without having to talk about 90s "icon" Rob Liefeld.

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! Either that or you just don't care.
