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!

Like Spidey, Maximum Carnage is kicking our asses. So, this week, Dan, Jude, and Bree decide to take a break from it to hear some lore. Back in 1993, Dan was punched in the stomach in sixth grade because of an issue of Maximum Carnage. Which one was it? How did Dan cope with the punching? Will Jude and Bree look at him differently after hearing this harrowing tale? Tune in and find out!

Programming note: At the end of this episode, we advertise Maximum Carnage parts 10-13 for the following episode. Due to some unforeseen nonsense, we will not be doing this next week, but we will be getting back into it soon! Instead, next week's episode will feature a guest host, and we'll be reading and dissecting 1994's X-Men #30: The wedding of Scott Summers and Jean Grey.

Dan, Jude, and Bree continue their reading of 1993's Spider-Man crossover Maximum Carnage with parts 6-9(lol). The sheer amount of new hero intros exhaust the crap out of us, but we persevere to discuss how Mary Jane is the real hero, Spider-Man is wrong about pretty much everything, and how the writers were venting their frustration in the narrative.

Programming update: At the end of this episode, we give Maximum Carnage parts 10-13 as next week's reading. Due to unforeseen events, those will be postponed. Instead, we'll be talking about a real-life nineties event Spider-Man adjacent.

As always, like, subscribe, and deal with the fact that the 90s never happened.

Dan, Jude, and Bree get tits-deep in Maximum Carnage as they explore parts 2-5 of the 1993 Spider-Man crossover featuring too many heroes and villains to list in a podcast episode description. What does our gang think about the continuing saga of good versus evil? Will Team Spidey or The Carnage Family reign supreme? Did Mary Jane just pick up that pack of cigarettes?!

Suggested reading is Maximum Carnage parts 2-5 in Web of Spider-Man 101, Amazing Spider-Man 378, Spider-Man 35, and Spectacular Spider-Man 201.

The 90s Never Happened episode 3: An Undeterminable Amount of Carnage

In this episode, Dan lays out part one of fourteen of Maximum Carnage with Spider-Man Unlimited #1. Spidey's getting ready to face his most deadly foe once more, but he's not going at it alone. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Jude and Bree are along for the blood-fueled ride where we see Carnage bust out of a mental institution, meet Kiss's number one fan Shriek, and tears ass through New York. Does the start of this epic showdown hold up, or is Maximum Carnage shaping up to be a big, floppy symbiote tendril? Tune in to find out!

Our podcast is off and swinging like a certain man with spider-like abilities! On this, our second episode, we set up our first big storyline with Maximum Preamble. Since we'll be reading and dissecting the 1993 Spider-Man crossover Maximum Carnage, we're going to be going a little further back to see how it all came about.

Dan, Jude, and Bree go through Carnage's first appearance and storyline, starting with Amazing Spider-Man 361-363 from 1992. We continue with Spidey and Venom's "FINAL CONFRONTATION" and subsequent truce in issues 374-375 from 1993. How well did these comics do getting our trio of comic-reading miscreants ready for what's to come? Tune in and find out!
