We invited Ron to join us for this episode after Chuck shared a scene from one of these movies with us, sparking our excitement to watch them. The Raid: Redemption and The Raid 2 are incredibly action-packed Indonesian films that, in my opinion, are definitely worth watching.

What better way to begin discussing Captain America than with his peculiar demise? At least that’s how they portrayed it in these issues. In reality, it was merely a convenient way to introduce Rick Jones as a significant character.

We hit another transition period, as some characters depart, and some new ones join. It's the last episode with both Riders for a while, and a new general gets brought in to lead Shocker that I'm pretty sure was a homeless man originally.
