My only issue is some of their guest speakers? Famke jaansen? Just because she played jean grey? I get having writers and those who are in the comic industry.

Some of the non-comic book participants seem to know what they're talking about. Others, I see your point.
I'm only 4 episodes in and there aren't a lot of "secrets" for me but below is my favorite moment with some background.
They didn't cover the Spider-Man creation controversy but I'm sure most of us have seen the Jonathan Ross documentary where he asks Stan if he really considers Ditko a co-creator of Spider-Man and Stan says something to the effect of "I really think the person who came up with the idea is the creator."
But in episode 1 he's talking about getting Kirby's art to FF48 and there's the Silver Surfer. He asks Jack who this guy is and is told that a godlike character like Galactus would have a herald. So Stan says "I thought that was a wonderful idea. Let's call him the Silver Surfer. So he was really a JOINT CREATION of Jack's and mine." I was incredulous about the double standard.

The egos & arrogance shown in last night's "All About Image" episode was incredible. Man, do those guys have some huge heads. Gives me pause to buy any more Image anything.

Just watched the first episode, it was about the creation of Marvel. It was good. I heard that Marvel treated Jack Kirby wrong and i learned how that happened now. It was so unfortunate but led to the creation of one of my favorite things, The Fourth World.

I think they've done a fairly good job of presenting from an objective pov. The Milestone episode was my favorite so far. The Image episode was better than I expected also. Wouldn't mind seeing another season.

The guest speakers really have no business talking about the history of the medium. I mean really, Michelle Rodriguez really added nothing to the content.
