A Shocking Milestone
In this episode I welcome Crunchy from the Millennial Nostalgia Berries Podcast! We cover Milestone Comics and their title characters. We discuss the impact they had on mass media comics as well as highlighting what may have been their downfall.

They broke the status quo, they created new back stories and became leaders within the comic book industry where there was great under-representation.

In this episode we travel back in time to someone who isn't regularly, if ever seen, as a superhero but everyone knows his name. While not ever seen or given the title of superhero, he is a man who's known to be invincible, a master swordsman and quite handsome!
