It's an all-new volume and an all-new number 1 for the Smark Avengers. It's been over 52 weeks and 52 episodes of the Smark Avengers since Vol 3 started one year ago and the Smark Avengers are looking back at one year of episodes. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they take a walk down memory lane!
Vol 3, Ep 52: The Smark Avengers Do Another Quiz
It's the rematch of the century as Dylan and Jon go head to head in a comic book trivia contest! This time with the added twist that Marvel questions are 1 point but DC questions are 2! Can Jon display his intelligence over multiple brands of comics? Can Dylan guess what shoe size Lois Lane wears? Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avengers do another quiz!
Vol 3, Ep 51: The Smark Avengers Auction the Justice League
The wheel is back and this time with a DC Comics flair! The catch is that the wheel has 30 names on it and will only be spun 20 times and they can only bid on whoever the wheel lands on. Who will land on Batman?! Will Jon and Dylan know who anyone is?! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they spin the wheel and build their own Justice League.
Vol 3, Ep 50: The Smark Avengers Pitch Their Own Sony Spider-Man Villain Films
It's episode 50 and the Smark Avengers have come together once more to talk about super hero movies! Now we all know that Sony has the rights to make Spider-Man adjacent movies without including Spider-Man, but we can all admit that they've been stinkers. So the Smark Avengers have tasked themselves with pitching their own Spider-Man movies with one caveat being that the characters can't have appe
Vol 3, Ep 49: The Smark Avengers Talk About Magneto
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!
Vol 3, Ep 48: The Smark Avengers (Minus One) Talk About Potential Villain Comics
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
Vol 3, Ep 47: The Smark Avengers (Minus Two) Talk About Non Superhero Comics
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
Vol 3, Ep 46: The Smark Avengers (Minus One) Talk About X-Men Irritations
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
Vol 3, Ep 45: The Smark Avengers (Minus One) Talk About New Years Resolutions I Guess
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
