  1. The timing of the questions at the end of this episode are serendipitous. I just listened to the episode closing off Inferno with Sam Humphries and it’s interesting that two of the things discussed kind of worked their way into the recent Dark Web event. One was J. Jonah Jameson leading demons and the other was a more anti-hero approach to Madylene Pryor. Does it count as precognition or is it just a case of this podcast being that influental? Or. and I consider this more likely, just writers who share the same feelings as some of us longtime X-Fans about what would be fun for these characters?
