iFanboy - Episode #201 - Relationships in Comics

We all know that most super hero comics are just ongoing soap operas, right? Well in case you didn't know, they are. With many of the most successful comic books featuring ongoing drama between the main characters and some sort of love interest, or in most cases, a love triangle, comic books are about relationships as much as they are about fights and battles. In this episode, Josh, Conor and Ron examine their favorite relationships in comics, from Superman and Lois, to the many romances of the X-Men, to some surprising insight into relationships within the Batman books. What makes a good relationship work in comics and who is really Cyclops best known girlfriend, Emma Frost or Jean Grey?

I'm a bit disapointed that they did not mention Scarlet Witch and Vision. Good show though.

Interesting topic! For what it's worth Yellowjacket and Wasp are the only superhero couple I can think of off the top of my head that actually got a divorce.

Whenever Cyclops is with jean he seems to be a pussy, and when he is with Emma he is much more of a man, Jean makes him cry, moan, and sob, and Emma makes him more of a man, that's my take tho'.
