Once upon a time you’d pop some coins in a Hulk-sized machine to live out the fantasy of fighting as the X-Men for just a few minutes. Today, you can put Iron Man’s suit on for 8+ hours (though you should definitely take breaks) from the comfort of your own home. In this episode, Marvel’s Iron Man VR director Ryan Payton joins Ryan and Lorraine to discuss the making of this incredible game. 

Plus, thanks to a listener question, writers Alex Segura and Jan Michael Friedman are taking us where we’ve never gone before, as we look at Marvel’s under-appreciated history of comics based on the only TV show that could have predicted such an amazing future: Star Trek!
