On an absolutely gorgeous Sunday afternoon in New York City, Gold Team unites in full! Ian, Chris, Murd and Shane gathered in Union Square Park after a long day of fellowship to discuss their trip to the Center for Jewish History to check out The Jack Kirby Way: How a Boy From the Lower East Side Became the King of Comics, an exhibit displaying a variety of Kirby’s works that runs until November 30th, 2026. They also took a look at Psychedelicatessen: A Powerful Dose of Art by Steve Marcus while there, which had some incredibly amazing puns, Yiddish comic strips based off the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, and mighty trippy artwork. Then, a trip to Forbidden Planet NYC, The Strand, some non-spoilery thoughts on Marvel’s latest record-breaking movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. a bit of SDCC news, and more!
