Today I’ve updated the guide of Marvel’s marquee Olympian – The Definitive Guide to Marvel’s Hercules!
Want to learn more about Marvel’s take on the Greek God, but don’t need a rundown of every issue in which he’s made an appearance? Keep reading for a summary of Hercules’ history, a review of what he’s been up to in 2017, and a tally of how many Hercules comics have been collected overall!

It’s my 30th video in 30 straight days! Another obscenely productive November here at Crushing Krisis.
In this episode I tackle the beginning of Brian Bendis’s New Avengers run, but not before I share my love for the art of drag and why Emma Frost used to look more like a man.
Want to start from the beginning of this season of videos? Here’s the complete Season 1 playlist of Crushing Comics.
Episode 30 features Avengers Disassembled (Amazon), New Avengers, Vol. 1 (Amazon), New Avengers, Vol. 2 (Amazon), which are all included in New Avengers by Brian Bendis Omnibus (Amazon), and Avengers Disassembled: Iron Man, Thor & Captain America (Amazon) – all of which are covered in the Guide to New Avengers.
Not a fan of watching videos – or just not able to watch right now? First, did you know you can speed up YouTube videos? Just click the little gear icon to change the speed settings. I know that makes me much more apt to watch.
Alternately, you can keep reading for the full transcript. Please keep in mind that this season of videos is shot off the cuff with no chance to review the books ahead of time, so I might occasionally fudge some facts (usually addressed in the video by subtitles).
It’s part two of my X-Men-shirt-wearing extravaganza as I take the time to dig super-deep into the somewhat unusual contents of Marvel’s Giant-Size X-Men 40th Anniversary hardcover, which includes explaining why the next two giant-size issues were from three decades later than the first, discussing X-Men Classic, talking about Deadly Genesis and the X-Men-centric War of Kings.

Episode 29 focuses on the Giant-Size X-Men 40th Anniversary hardcover (Amazon). For more on War of Kings, see the Guide to Marvel Events.
Today I updated the guide of one of my favorite Marvel characters, as evidenced by my wardrobe on recent episodes of Crushing Comics – The Definitive Guide to Moon Knight!
This update was extra-fun because I love Moon Knight and any excuse to read his issues, but also because I got to correct some continuity confusion to better explain his chronology.
Is this the first time you’ve ever heard of Moon Knight? Or, do you just need a recap before diving in to collecting his comics? Keep reading for an introduction, where the character has been in 2017, and one of my trusty recaps of just how much material you can actually buy in a physical collected edition.

It’s no secret that that my comic book collection is overwhelmingly filled with X-Men comics, but I feel like there are so many more X-Men comic bundles to unwrap as I work my way through my oversize shelf.
In this episode I work my X-Men t-shirt on for good luck in plucking some X-books from the wall, and it worked! While I’m unpacking, I share a little insight on why I love the X-Men. Then, I dig into their origins and two of their earliest classic oversize hardcovers – Mutant Massacre and Asgardian Wars.
Want to start from the beginning of this season of videos? Here’s the complete Season 1 playlist of Crushing Comics.
Episode 28 features X-Men Origins (Amazon) & Origins II (Amazon), X-Men: Asgardian Wars (Amazon), and X-Men: Mutant Massacre (Amazon). Find out where the latter two collections fit in with my Guide to Claremont-era X-Men.
