If you're one of those lucky ducks whose ballot was drawn for the finale, pick out a t-shirt, mug, or travel cup design and email us the details along with your address. Thanks for listening to us talk about Daimon Hellstrom's early exploits.  Like The Happenings sang in that classic...

Daimon's solo title ends with a fascinating mash-up of a story written for the more Marvel's mature black and white Curtiss magazines but was instead re-worked by unseen hands to make it suitable for the drugstore spinner rack. One scene was deemed too sacrilegious even for the magazine line. Check it out. Also: Our next is ep is THE FINALE! Fill out your ballot for chances to win BAM swag (you ne...

The shadowy figure behind Mindstar's murder of a student and the attack on Daimon is revealed and an epic battle plays out across the planes of all existence... Daimon's solo title comes to an abrupt ending, forcing John Warner & Sonny Trinidad to pack current and potential storylines into 17 pages like sardines in a can. BALLOTS ARE COMING FOR THE BIG SON OF SATAN FINALE! KEEP YR PEEPERS PEELED!...

We let our better halves take over. Renee and Alicia fill in for Matt and Jacob and jump into the middle of John Warner's second story arc on the doomed Son of Satan title... The astral/etheric attack on Daimon continues via the elements from the shadows.

With his ancestral Fire Lake home a smoldering ruin, Daimon journeys to Washington, D.C., to interview for a position to head District U's new parasychology department. We meet a slew of new characters, including a demonically impish character named Profett, who reveals baffling and ominous visions to our hero during a much-needed nap.

We put a pin in Daimon's bizarre saga with The Possessor for a Bill Mantlo-penned one-and-done with The Thing in the nearby Arizonan Old West ghost town of Lawless, where Ben Grimm has been sent by Reed Richards on New Year's Eve to investigate some needle-burying energy readings. It seems the ghost of outlaw Jedediah Ravenstorm is behind the hauntings, but there is more going on here than meets t...

Guest Jason Atomic joins us to discuss the 2nd part of John Warner's Son of Satan solo title, Satanism as a liberating philosophy, his Satanic Mojo Comix, and more.  Daimon is psychically force fed The Possessor's tortured origin & a neon sign pointing to a Navajo reservation in Arizona where his new foe awaits a confrontation.  NEXT ISH: Marvel Two-in-One #14!

John Warner takes over writing duties and sends Daimon back to New England for a moody-yet-still-trippy return to his ancestral home. Meanwhile, not even A.I. could have cooked up our new body-horror antogonist.  Our beloved Enchanted Forest's water show : https://youtu.be/9fQH7s99qGs GREEK MYTHOLOGY SHORT FILM: https://archive.org/details/mythologyofgreeceandrome_201505 MAIL: bronzeagemonsters@gm...

We took to the Tubes of You for a live episode covering Daimon's final Marvel Spotlight issue. Satana's more mature Curtiss magazine stories collide with the 4-color 616 universe which leads to a testy reunion between half-devil brother and sister. Chris Claremont takes up writing duties and Bob McLeod's inks dance elegantly with Sal Buscema's pencils.  Watch the show (with the comics art!) HERE ....

  We're joined by Bryan Stratton and Robb Milne of the excellent Marvel by the Month podcast to talk about Steve Gerber's final Son of Satan issue (with a writing assist from Mike Friedrich). Daimon wants to return to his New England ancestral home, but he can't leave behind the loose thread of the increasingly deadly Legion of Nihilists . It seems like they feel the same way about him, as Daimon...

The odyssey we have dubbed "The Tarot Reading Saga" comes to its revelatory & senses-shattering conclusion.

We take a quick break from the Tarot adventure going on in Marvel Spotlight to cover another book published at the same time that features Daimon taking a case from Fantastic Four member Johnny Storm to help exorcise his possessed friend Wyatt Wingfoot. We were delighted with the Gerry Conway's one-and-done story in this issue and it brightened up a tough week for both of us. Check out JOSH LINK'S...

We're joined again by director Brad Elmore (The Wolfman's Hammer, Bit, Boogeyman Pop) to talk about one of his favorite Gerber issues of the run. Daimon's trial-by-tarot is far from over as his surreal odyssey continues while the Legion of Nihilists start a body count while looking to send our favorite half-Devil exorcist to the Great Beyond.
