Make Mine Multiversity #142: "Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars" #1-12 with Hans and Jesse Buetow; or, The Sweetness of Memory
Beneath two and a half hours of intensely edited audio sits Elias...and he's not happy!
Welcome Back to Make Mine Multiversity: A Marvel Podcast! Each episode we’ll be looking at Marvel books, old and new! We discuss fun Marvel comics, Marvel news, Marvel history and, now, are putting the "mine" back into Make Mine Multiversity.
Make Mine Multiversity was a twice-monthly podcast that premiered on the first and third Friday of every month. Now we're shooting for monthly every fourth Friday.
For those who're new, each month I talk with a guest about a Marvel comic that's memorable to them. Sometimes they're personally meaningful, sometimes it's "I read this a few months ago and its still sticking around."
This month I welcome on Hans Buetow and his brother Jesse Buetow to discuss the Ur-superhero event "Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars" #1-12 from 1984. Yes, that is the full title. Also, for anyone wondering why I didn't record a correction for my wildly incorrect identification of that iconic Spidey panel? These are the perils of recording extra voice-over without a script.
For the historians among us, it was issue #33 of Amazing Spider-Man and the film was Homecoming. And it’s a Ditko joint. Jeeez.
For some bonafides, Hans is an award-wining audio producer who has been working in sound, music, and audio recording for 20 years. Jesse is a teacher and he's happy that's all there is to know.

Reading along?
Here are some places to find the issues! There are a bunch of versions of the trade out there. Thankfully, they're basically all the same. Marvel Unlimited, you can find the single issues with corrected coloring (alas.)
Next time
"Alf" #22 and #44. Yep. You're reading that right. Break out the longboxes and get hunting folks! No Marvel Unlimited for us this time.
The Wind-Down
Elias can be found writing here at eliasrwrites.ghost.io. Hans is currently part of a podcast I like quite a lot called "Never Post." It's about the internet! If you ever watched PBS Idea Channel, it's hosted by Mike Rugnetta. $4 a month to keep it going. Worth every penny.
Our theme music is “Excelsior” by Carol Romo and our audio editor is me, Elias. Hans was my unofficial producer and mixer/masterer (one day I'll learn which term is right) and a big thank you to Jaina for bringing her knowledge back to the pod.
The show is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, (Stitcher is apparently dead and buried) and other places so please subscribe! You can also listen above or download it here.
Until next time, excelsior!
Elias Rosner
