Welcome to Hit Rewind, where we dive into the comic book scene of 1998. Join hosts Michael Johns and his co-host as they explore a pivotal year for comics, marked by Marvel's bold moves, DC's seismic storylines, and notable indie releases.
The episode kicks off with a deep dive into Marvel's 1998, featuring the launch of Marvel Knights, a new imprint aimed at revitalizing lesser-known characters. The hosts discuss standout stories like Kevin Smith's "Guardian Devil" and the critically acclaimed "Black Panther" run by Christopher Priest. They also humorously dissect the infamous "Punisher as a hitman for heaven" storyline.
Shifting to DC, the hosts cover the groundbreaking "No Man's Land" storyline that reshaped Gotham City and its heroes. They also touch on the Elseworlds tale "JLA: The Nail" and the introduction of Young Justice, a fresh take on the Titans.
Indie comics and other highlights include the debut of Frank Miller's "300" from Dark Horse, the rise of webcomics with "Penny Arcade," and the influential "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series. The episode wraps up with a nod to the critically acclaimed "Road to Perdition" graphic novel.
