Chris and Cindy continue to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the show by looking at the wedding issues of Marvel and DC’s flagship heroes, Spider-Man and Superman, and you’re invited!

First up is Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21. Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson struggle with doubt in the days leading up to their wedding. But is it more than just cold feet? Will they make it to the altar (or the courthouse steps, at least)? And whose idea was this, anyway? What corporate synergy has brought together, let Mephisto not put asunder!

Then we step back in time…and to Earth-Two in Action Comics #484! Superman is vanquished by the evil Wizard, so a new hero must rise to fill the void! That hero is…Clark Kent?!? How do these events lead to his marriage to Lois Lane?

The first couple of comics get married again, this time in the Post-Crisis DCU, in Superman: The Wedding Album. A media tie-in, a gaggle of scheming creators, and even death couldn’t keep them apart, so the happy day finally arrives! It takes an army of Superman creators past and present to tell the tale of how a nearly 60-year old love triangle finally made it to happily ever after.

What did Chris and Cindy think of these tales? Were they convincing? Did they feel the love? Do these characters even belong together? Listen on!

Next time: Chris and Cindy take a look at the recent Batman 66 Lost Episode special featuring Two-Face, based on an unused TV script by Harlan Ellison! All this and your feedback!

Chris and Cindy celebrate the first anniversary of Super Mates, and Valentine’s Day with a look at famous Super Hero weddings! Hear them discuss the legendary nuptials of some of the world’s greatest super heroes!

First off, it’s the wedding of Aquaman and Mera in Aquaman (vol. 1) #18! Aquaman becomes the king of Atlantis, but he must choose a queen! Despite his love for Mera, he must marry an Atlantean! Will the two love birds work it out, or will Arthur feel the fury of a Sea Queen scorned?!?

It’s wall to wall action in Fantastic Four (vol. 1) Annual #3, 1965! Dr. Doom sets out to disrupt the happy day of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Girl! He sends an army of villains to the Baxter Building, but luckily the entire Marvel Universe of heroes shows up to stop them! Oh, and there is a wedding at the end. Lee and Kirby at their whackiest!

Then it’s a much quieter event in Tales of the Teen Titans #50. You are invited to the wedding of Donna (Wonder Girl) Troy and Terry Long. Marv Wolfman and George Perez present a wedding with no flights, no tights but plenty of nice character moments.

Cindy’s guest-spot on Disney, Indiana is now available!
