Description

In this episode of Unspoken Issues, Jesse Starcher and Chris Armstrong dive deep into the chaotic and fascinating debut of Siren #Infinity—one of the more obscure and unexpectedly compelling offshoots of Marvel's Black September initiative. Originally a minor Ultraverse character, Siren is suddenly thrust into the Marvel 616 universe, and this issue marks a pivotal shift in her evolution. The hosts take you through her bewildering new reality, where she wakes up in Taskmaster’s twisted dojo and quickly finds herself fighting for survival and identity in a world that barely knows her name.Jesse and Chris break down the creative team behind the book while exploring how Siren's transformation (and that eerie white makeup becoming a part of her skin) mirrors the uncertainty surrounding the Ultraverse’s integration into Marvel’s continuity. From a brutal bout with Mad Dog to an explosive clash with Diamondback, the story is packed with action, intrigue, and uneasy alliances. The episode also discusses how Siren's past, filled with cosmic encounters and team-ups, is both her baggage and her armor as she navigates new threats under Taskmaster’s watchful eye. The conversation goes beyond the page, offering context around the Ultraverse’s abrupt shift, the broader implications of Marvel’s acquisition of Malibu, and the lasting impact (or lack thereof) of Black September. Jesse and Chris don’t shy away from critiquing the narrative missteps and editorial decisions that led to the Ultraverse’s fade into obscurity—but they also highlight how Siren #Infinity serves as a rare example of a successful, new-reader-friendly introduction amidst the chaos. If you're a fan of comic book history, forgotten characters, or just curious how Marvel nearly absorbed an entire universe, this episode delivers a passionate, thoughtful, and entertaining deep dive.The letter and response read near the end of the podcast is from "Ultraforce #Infinity"
