This episode opens with our remembrance of artist Sal Buscema, who passed away on January 24, 2026.

Then, enjoy a double-sized episode featuring an interview with Ron Frenz and Tom DeFalco about their history with the Venom character and the recent backup story they did for Venom #252, an “anniversary” celebration of Amazing Spider-Man #252, which kicked off their run and introduced the world to the black-suited Spider-Man.

Then, Dan sits down with Professor Charlie Michael from Emory University’s Film and Media Department. He’s just released the paperback version of his book Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse – Youth, Race and the Hypertext, which is an incredible dissection of the film that we are eager to share with our audience. We’ll be doing a follow-up interview with Charlie about the book, but we wanted to give you a chance to read it along with us. You can order a copy of the book here:
