As we reach the halfway point for the series, Al is joined by special guests Kelly Kanayama and Chloe Maveal to talk about issue #6 of Secret Wars, which means we're in for a whole lotta talk about Janet Van Dyne. When not discussing The Wasp, they chat about Klaw's love of soup, Johnny Storm's seductive rendition of Thriller, and the lasting cultural impact of Dazzler. Because of course they do.
