Welcome to the Halloween 2022 Yancy Street Special! Who is Marvel's Satana? How has she evolved over the years? Why do I blame Chris Claremont for her bastardization? These answers and so much more, coming your way!
This podcast proudly contains far more information on Satana than any single one of her wiki or fan pages, so I'm pleased and excited to share it with the world. On that note: some CW for sexual assault, violence against women, topics of heaven and hell, extreme personal loss, murder, attempted fratricide, sacrifice, satanic panic, classic horror tropes, general violence and lewdness, etc. The special starts with a little necessary Background, including Horrosploitation, Dr. Fredric Wertham's 1954 Seduction of the Innocent, and the implementation of the Comics Code Authority. We then continue the timeline into the eventual relaxation of the code in 1971, and the ensuing horror trends of the 1960's-80's. With that context in mind, we can begin talking Satana, starting with her (admittedly few) Key Comics: 0:16:44 Her various Aliases and names she's been called through the years, plus when it happened: 0:19:45 The Hellstrom Extended Family, which spread across multiple species and still holds a fair amount of mystery: 0:20:47 Satana's complete Teams and Teammates: 0:27:17 Her Allies, specifically those who are not teammates: 0:31:12 Love Interests, of course, which is surprisingly minor: 32:27 And then her Enemies, I'm sure fewer than you might expect: 0:33:21 Satana's Outfits/Physical Appearance, which has vastly changed through the years, and my breakdown of those changes: 0:37:34 Her half-demon Succubus Powers: 0:40:50 Alternate Reality/Format Versions of Satana: 0:42:38 And finally, her whole life and comic History: 0:45:22, including but not limited to the following categories: Early life; Turn for the Better, Turn for the Worst; the Basilisk; Death for Doctor Strange; Resurrection; Occultist for Hire, Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers; Between Time; All-New, All-Different Hell (and more Vegas, Baby!); and finally, her most recent appearances in Captain Marvel. I wrap up this special with a finale I worked to put all of what I've learned and discovered into account, which I'm calling, simply, Satana's Duality: 1:08:20. It is my desire that listeners who get this far might be inspired to also care about the character of Satana, and we can see more of her in the comics, properly, again.

There is also included a little bit of manga news. Last week's comic book Picks (0:40:21) include joy, disappointment, and confusion, spread across a variety of publishers Pick of the week: Dark Knights of Steel #8! Disappointment of the week: Bendis' The Ones #1. But there's always more! Pulls for this, the week of November 9th, (0:51:22) include more amazing indie kick-offs, because this is a GREAT Autumn to get into non-superhero comics! Finally, the DC Titans Season 4 Premier really snuck up on me, but we got it covered (0:54:51), including explanations on the comic counterparts of Brother Blood, Mother Mayhem, Trigon, the Church of Blood, Gar and the Red, Raven and her White Form, and so much more! This show has really paid off for long-time viewers. Make sure to listen to the October Yancy Street Special, Satana and Horror Comics Explored! Other than that, I'll be back next week for a regular episode cover Titans Season 4, episode 3, more comics, more news, and more manga!

And mind the typos, this is mostly unedited.
Satana is the first character I'm doing a Yancy Street Special on (this will be for October 2022) who I'm not already pretty familiar with going in to the process. She's from a distinct era of Marvel comics, and oddly enough, her creation was something they were very open about, to the point of writing the discussion of her character creation out as a short story in one of their comics. Since then, Satana has died, returned, and worn a handful of very different character designs, as well as fairly different personalities, even. My goal with this particular project is to try and identify a core answer to who Satana canonically is, regardless of the era, design, etc. Happy reading! The weather is cooling down, but I'm just getting sweatier each week on the podcast!
In news this week, we're talking Rihanna's return with Lift Me Up (0:12:29), the new co-heads of DC Films (0:16:46), a small update for The Batman's Arkham Asylum spinoff (0:23:41), the major changes for the HBO Green Lantern Series (0:25:00), news about the Witcher season 4 (0:29:12), the Future of Doctor Who (0:31:28), a new WandaVision Spinoff (0:38:41), Secret Invasion series news (0:41:54), and news about the upcoming Venom 3 (0:44:35). I also go over some highlights from the January Big-Two comics solicitations (0:49:30), as well as what kick-offs, first issues, #1's and one-shots are coming in the month of November! The Spotlight Manga for the week (0:52:48) is The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated, by Wakame Konbu, which is also my Halloween costume! There's only 3 volumes out in English so far, with the fourth coming later this month, so now is a great time to jump in! This week's comic picks (0:56:42) includes the finale of Marvel's Judgement Day, and the coming week's Pulls (1:06:51) are fill with indie starters! This fall is an amazing time to get into indie comics, specifically. There's something coming for everyone! Finally, I go through the events of the Power of the Doctor (1:14:20) Doctor Who episode, Jodie Whittaker's final as the 13th doctor. With a lot of changes supposedly coming to the show starting next fall, there's a lot of be discussed and fondly remembered. I'll be back with episode 84 next week (and to talk that Wonder Man news!), but keep an eye out this Friday the 4th for my Halloween Yancy Street Special, covering the character Satana, plus 1970's horror exploitation trends, the Comics Code, Satanic Panic, Seduction of the Innocent, and more factors that went into and still do go into horror comics and characters today!
