Hey everyone, this is Rob Leifeld. Welcome to Robeservations, where we talk about all the comic books

and all the movies and the TV and the streaming and all the pop culture. And we have got a busy,

You get so much, just so much from this creative tree called Marvel Comics. The tree isn't called Stan and Jack. The tree is called Marvel Comics. We can best cast Stan and Jack as the
