Three guys drink beer and discuss their favorite comic books. While sitting on chairs. Nothing fancy. (the chairs, that is. Just your standard hardwood, four legged-variety. The videos however, are quite well-crafted.)

In this landmark episode- we return to the Ultimate Universe, re-ignited by its destructor- Jonathan Hickman. We examine what made the original 2000's Ultimate U so popular, while exploring the new relaunch: Ultimate Invasion. And all this leads us to the chart-topping new series- Ultimate Spider-Man #1.
