Spider-Man: Torment - a podcast by Ryan McClure and Justin Zyduck

In this inaugural episode, hosts Ryan McClure and Justin Zyduck discuss one of the best-selling comics of all time, Spider-Man (1990) #1, which kicks off the critically panned "Torment" storyarc featuring the Lizard. Is superstar artist Todd McFarlane's first full-fledged attempt at writing unfairly maligned? Or does it live up to its title? Also in this episode: how the '90s collectors boom made us all millionaires, promoting your new Spider-Man comic by drastically lowering expectations, and why writing like Alan Moore is not as easy as it looks.

Discussed: Spider-Man #1-5 (1990)
