I think maybe today’s episode hasn’t uploaded properly as I can’t see it here or on my Apple. May just be my phone playing up. Honestly, if it’s anything like my brain, it’s done for the year 🙂
Fixed – thank you for letting us know!
This is a milestone episode for me, marking the point in my X-Men history where I finally started having access to buy new comics, instead of having to reread my brother’s hand-me-downs. I’m a little giddy 😁
The episode could’ve also been titled “Dirge of the Toddler” (I say with 0% shade to the toddler, who enhances every episode they guest on).
Yeah, the non-crediting always struck me as odd…and I think was an early question I sent in. Maybe. Or I thought of doing it.
And agreed I think it’s a really fitting send off for the post Giant Size and/or 90s era. I really love the Christmas issue in particular.
As for the question:
1. YES MARY WORTH! Though I’d love to see if her self-assured judgmental meddling could best the likes of Boom Boom and Quentin Quire.
2. Put Alex Summers in a PhD Comics crossover.
