I'm on Sacrificers too. Good call. As for comic podcasts, I don't really listen to any - yet but maybe I'll give yours a try and see but my podcast list is pretty full right now already! ;-)

Thanks for these podcast tips - will add them to my list!

I love the Hawkeye comic and also really enjoyed the Disney+ show. In particular, I like that the show's primary mission was "get Clint home for Christmas". While it was a different angle to the small-scale protect-the-block angle of the comic, it had a similar vibe.

Hope you like them!

Yes, I agree it had a similar small-scale vibe, which I appreciated. On a similar note, I liked Ms. Marvel but think that show could have been better served if they toned down the stakes of the plot and kept things street-level (although I did like the flashback story).

Agreed - Ms Marvel was best when it was small. The last third was quite a mess - although it was pulled along by the charisma and skill of the lead actor. She-Hulk is one of my favourite of the shows, precisely because it stuck to that small-scale and kept it focused on the character.

While I appreciated the smaller scale of She-Hulk (and more episodes), that show didn't hit with me. (And as a lawyer, I don't really like lawyer shows. Too hard to separate fiction from reality)
