This week on The Marvelists, host Peter Melnick goes solo for a special deep-dive interview with the legendary wrestler Raven, exploring the grunge-era icon's lifelong passion for comics—particularly his deep appreciation for the Marvel universe.
Raven, known for sporting comic-inspired t-shirts in the ring (from Doctor Strange to the Inhumans and Neil Gaiman's Sandman) and even co-writing a Spider-Man story in Marvel's Tangled Web series, opens up about how comic books have influenced his character, his promos, and his worldview. Peter and Raven geek out over Marvel Knights classics, Kevin Smith's groundbreaking Green Arrow run, the brilliance of Inhumans, and why titles like Sandman resonated so strongly with the brooding, philosophical grappler.
Plus, Raven shares updates on his exciting current projects: his new documentary Nevermore: The Raven Effect, a raw and unflinching look at his career and the chaotic rise of ECW, now available on streaming platforms, and his weekly podcast The Raven Effect, where he and his co-hosts deliver unfiltered banter on everything from pop culture to conspiracies.
It's a rare, insightful conversation blending pro wrestling grit with comic book lore—perfect for fans of both worlds. Tune in for the quotes, the stories, and maybe even a "Quoth the Raven, nevermore" or two! Available now on all major podcast platforms. Excelsior!
