In 2007, the creative team of J. Michael Straczynski and Joe Quesada had children's pull-ups character Spider-Man sell his marriage to the Satan Mephisto in exchange for the life of his dear Aunt May, an octogenarian who lived a full life that was marred near its end by nearly weekly health issues and who was assumed dead at the start of Straczynski's run.

The Editor in Chief of Marvel Comics once did an elaborate deception, pretending to be a Japanese Manga writer named Akira Yoshida, in order to skirt internal rules and write some of the biggest weeb comics in Marvel's history. Everyone involved still gets mad when you bring it up because the consequence was more or less the dude taking a year off to write a comic about how much sex his always has. But look, what are you going to do but laugh? It's not like we live in a country trying to stifle free speech.

Rivers Cumo once said "I wanna go back, back to the shack, back to the Strat with the lightning strap" and we echo that message back going back to our roots for a 1000th story celebration about the stories the occurred at both the birth of the podcast and the birth of us.

Rivers Cumo also once said "Watching Grunge leg drop New Jack through a press table" and thought that was a good enough song lyric to put on his best record so maybe he doesn't know what he's talking about.

When TV shows cared about Nielsen ratings, ad rates would be set based on how well a show performed during a very specific portion of the year called "Sweeps Week". To goose the system, shows would bring out all the stops with big episodes, guest stars, all of that. We honor that tradition as the road to 1000 stories comes to a close with Cerebro host Connor Goldsmith joining us to talk about Polaris. Ranked This Episode:

• Magneto: Dark Seduction

This episode is all about Gambit. Why? I mean, that's quite the important question. Friedrich Nietzsche said "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how." Of course, Nietzsche also said "The Superman is the meaning of the earth." and I remember just enough about that time he had blue electricity powers to use that as evidence to disagree with Nietzsche. So we must again ask why? And it all comes down to the truth that Adam and Zack will sell an hour of their lives for $5.

As Nietzsche also said "The value of a thing sometimes lies not in what one attains with it, but in what one pays for it - what it costs us.” So the value of making us read bad turn of the century Gambit comics isn't really $5, it's an hour of enjoying the suffering of two dudes. And hey, Nietzsche also said "to live is to suffer" so ipso facto, this episode is all about Gambit so that we suffer. Thanks.

What does it say about our future?

We wanted to talk about Magik and Shadowcat, we ended up talking about Jim Shooter and Daredevil. This is what happens every time we pick three single issues to talk about.

What's Wolverine's favorite video game system? The XBox I'm sorry.

We're talking about X-Men games tie-ins, some video, some card. These comics are not good, they have never been good, and they never would be good. But they are weird hell and I know you crazy kids love weird comics. Honestly? We get pretty distracted and don't talk about comics and instead Zack talks about playing video games in his friend Dave Newman's basement. Don't worry, it's still a super exciting episode to listen to.

Also, Zack got a football fact wrong and is very sorry that he implied that the traitor Tommy Tuberville used to coach Alabama, not Auburn. It's been a long week and Zack tries to think about the SEC as little as possible. Bama still sucks. Go Bucks!
