The Smark Avengers

The Smark Avengers have been reunited once more! Jon is back to join Corey and Dylan in a deep dive on the Master of Magnetism Magneto as they continue their series of breaking down X-Men characters. Join the Smark Avengers as they discuss the life, times, names, lays, children, psychotic breakdowns, and Magneto getting turned into a baby!

Everyone loves a hero but a hero is only as good as their villain. After all, what would Batman be without Joker, Spider-Man without the Green Goblin, Superman without Lex Luthor, or the X-Men without Magneto? We see these characters as foils for the heroes but every now and then a villain becomes so interesting that you just want to see more of them. Join Corey and Dylan as the Smark Avengers tal...

What happens when your two cohosts are unable to record? Well, thankfully for Corey he already hosts one podcast on his own and he has the perfect topic to discuss without Dylan and Jon - the world of non-superhero comic books! That's right! No X-Men... No Spider-Man... and no Batman! Join the Smark Avengers Minus Two as Corey talks about Image's Universal Studios Monsters Frankenstein, IDW's Star...

It's another week and another show minus Jon. Have no fear, though, as Corey and Dylan provide you with the very first video episode (look up Smark Avengers on Youtube)! Gaze upon their sweet faces as the pair prove once more that this is NOT an X-Men podcast. Join Corey and Dylan as the Smark Avengers discuss their X-Men related pet peeves as well as count how many times Dylan burps into the micr...

Happy 2025, True Believers! It's a new year with new possibilities and new opportunities. Jon is unfortunately occupied today so the task falls on the remaining two Smark Avengers to discuss the things they hope to see in the world of comics for 2025. Join Corey and Dylan as they discuss their favorite topics ranging from X-Men, Grant Morrison, and 90's comics while going over their predictions an...

It was the night two days after Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a 7 apple high elf named Dylan. This week is a very Smark Avengers Christmas as the boys discuss Grant Morrison's 2016 mini-series Klaus! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they break down Morrison's alternative take on Santa filled with shamanism, psychedelics, and Christmas cheer!

We've done it once and now we're doing it again! Grab your cowboy hats, boys and girls, because the Smark Avengers are doing another auction! This one is a little different, however, as the Smark Avengers allow the Wheel of Fate to decide who is up for grounds each round. Tune in as Corey, Dylan, and Jon assemble their teams and make the biggest offer in Smark Avengers Auction history!

He's the best he is at what he does and that is... plot armor? Wolverine aka Logan aka James Howlett has been a huge fixture in the world of comic books since his introduction as a mutant crazy enough to go one on one with the Incredible Hulk. Since then he's been a member of and lead multiple variations of the X-Men and X-Force and even served time as an Avenger. So obviously he needs to be knock...

Sometimes a victorious moment is, in actuality, a swan song. Sometimes saving the world means sacrificing everything in return. Sometimes when things are at their darkest you go out with a blaze of glory! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avengers talk about the best deaths in comic books!

Not like this... not like this. Death and comics go hand in hand but not all deaths are created equal however! Not every hero gets the big, martyr sacrifice to save the world. Sometimes they get blown up by doing something dumb, sometimes they get run over by a truck, and sometimes they're killed slowly overtime by the radioactive nature of their lover's bodily fluids. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon a...

The 1990s were a treasure trove of animated superhero shows and very few were bigger than Spider-Man! Spider-Slayers, Venom, Carnage, Doctor Octopus, Hobgoblin, and (you guessed it) Hydroman were just a few of the heavy hitters who were making their televised appearances as Peter Parker balanced life as a photographer and superhero. Join Dylan and Jon as the Smark Avengers take a deep dive into th...

We are children of the 90s. Anthropomorphic animals who fought crime and did karate were all the rage, inappropriate movies adapted to cartoons and toys for kids were common, and who didn't love Uncle Phil voicing any number of cartoon characters. We are children of the 90s. We also discovered that we were fucking idiots as children who had no taste. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avenger...

Peter Quill had a cybernetic what? What does H.A.M.M.E.R. stand for? These aren't the easy MCU questions you might be expecting! Time to put on your thinking caps, true believers! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avengers put their knowledge to the test with a Marvel Comics trivia game!

Dylan is away leaving Corey alone with the Smark Avengers very own cinema fan - Jon! A lot of new and weird sounding projects are coming down the pipeline in the worlds of DC and Marvel's respectful cinematic universes - Dynamic Duo, Bane & Deathstroke, Thunderbolts*, and much more to be exact! Join Corey and Jon as the Smark Avengers talk about the newest offerings from the cinematic comic bo...

It's the fourth and final week of October and the Smark Avengers have some money burning holes in their pockets! After weeks spent talking about spooky and scary and unusual characters... you're going to want to ally yourself with those monsters, right? Like if there are a bunch of monsters out there then you'd probably want some to have at your side, right? The Hobgoblin can't be EVERYONE'S frien...

It's the third week of October and the Smark Avengers are still wading through the spooky, macabre, surreal, and supernatural for their favorite characters to talk about. Well... maybe not favorite. Listen, folks, it's hard out here being a monster! There's no union, no minimum wage, and the benefits? Not that great. Yet somebody has to haunt, stalk, creep, and hunt unsuspecting mortals and as the...

The Spooky Month rolls on! It's time for all sorts of ghouls, ghosts, and goblins of all chromatic kind to come lurking out of the shadows to terrify the normies! The world of comic books have been blessed with so many monstrous monsters and ghoulish ghouls that are famous (or infamous) in one way or another. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avengers talk about spooky characters!

It's Spooky Month which means it's time for the Smark Avengers to decorate the clubhouse with cotton spider webs, pumpkins, 12 ft tall skeletons, and that one Halloween decoration of a pumpkin-headed guy that says his name is Lewis (remember that?). What better way to celebrate the first week of October than by talking about a goblin? Ned Leeds... Roderick Kingsley... Lefty Donovan... Jason Macend...

Jean-Paul Valley crossed the line, Bruce Wayne is healed, and Bane is no longer in the picture. As Jean-Paul's mind continues to slip into the System, Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham to reclaim what he voluntarily passed on to Azrael. The issue is... does Azrael give it back? Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avengers head back to Gotham for part two of their look back at Knightfall!

It was hard times being a super hero in the early 1990s! Superman died, Green Lantern went crazy, and someone broke the Bat! Who is Bane? Who is the guy in the high-tech batsuit if Bruce is in a wheelchair? How does Bruce Wayne bounce back from paralysis? Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they discuss the 1990s DC Comics Event - Knightfall!

After over 40 years of movies based on comic books there have been great castings and... not so... great castings. Listen, they can't all be Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine for nearly a quarter of a century! Listen to Corey, Dylan, and Jon talk about their favorite and least favorite bits of comic book character casting!

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Superman fought the Incredible Hulk? If Captain America swung hands with Batman? In the last 20 years, comic book and superhero fans have watched their favorite characters come to life and pondered questions just like those above. However... did you know that these two pantheons of modern day Gods have already done battle with one another? Who won? Who l...

deep breath SCOOOOOTTTT! She can pick up stuff with her mind, read YOUR mind, and consume a sun and a planet containing billions of lives - she's Jean Grey aka Marvel Girl aka the Phoenix aka the Dark Phoenix aka the girl that lived... wait... no. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they talk about Jean Grey and wrap up analysis of the original 5 X-Men members!

The thumbnail for this video may seem to be Corey preparing a lovely meal for Jon but don't let that fool you! This is another Smark Avengers (Minus One) episode where Corey and Jon discuss the state of comic book news media, British superheroes, and much more!

In the past the Smark Avengers have picked their own team line-ups and that's fun and all... but where is the competitive spirit in that? Put on your cowboy hats, grab your number placard, and join the Smark Avengers as that have 100 pounds/dollars burning a hole in their pockets and team of X-Men to build!
