Listen to the podcast here. LINKS & FURTHER MISUNDERSTANDINGS: Lauretta Jean’s makes the best pie on earth, and Jay misses it desperately. Wanna make comics? Wally Wood’s 22 Panels That Always Work are an incredibly useful resource. We watched so much Sealab 2021 in college. If you’re interested in the

314 – Feelings, Alaska
In which Haven deserved better; Cyclops and Havok have a lot of feelings in Alaska; X-Factor is the cop team; breaking up with your girlfriend between issues is a massive faux pas; Haven got a bad deal; no one cares about Random’s feelings; Spiral is weird Twitter; and Alex Summers once again fails to finish his dissertation.
Continue readingAs Mentioned in Episode 305 – The Sleep of the Wicked
Listen to the episode here. LINKS & FURTHER BACKSTORY We covered the Cyburai’s first appearance in Episode 160 – Hank McCoy and the Hickey of Destiny. You can learn more about Scarlett McKenzie (and Jay’s favorite X-related miniseries) in Episode 114 – Meltdown.
Continue reading305 – The Sleep of the Wicked
In which X-Factor gets its own roster shakeup; most bartenders will look at you funny if you order a flight of superheroes; Kaboom is a great name for a nightclub; we lack significant feelings about the clone saga; Yukio probably sends love to everyone’s girlfriends; Forge has terrible coping mechanisms; and Jay’s current life is not conducive to consistent acoustics (sorry!).

Continue reading301 – Can’t Beat the Real Thing
In which we enter our fourth century of podcasting with brand new theme music; we have both Wolverine questions and wolverine questions; it is extremely rough to be Bishop; the creator of Garfield may or may not live in a sewer on Earth-616; Rogue needs better coping mechanisms; bigotry is depressingly timeless; and everything is Onslaught now.

Continue reading300 – Götterdämmerung
In which the Age of Apocalypse comes to an end; Angel briefly lives up to his potential; Bishop was sometimes right; It’s not a climactic ending without an X-Men #137 reference; Colossus breaks our hearts; X-Men: Marvels Snapshot will be out in September; and somehow we have made 300 of these things.

Continue reading292 – Weekend at Sinister’s
In which it is probably not actually possible to be too nasty for Earth-295; Sinister is on nobody’s side but his own; Vulcan is still the worst Summers in the multiverse; the Bedlam Brothers are too delightful for the EMF; Heaven is just straight-up Rick’s Bar now; Polaris of Earth-295 is the saddest Polaris; Scott Summers and Jean Grey make a good team in most universes; and the metaphors of 1995 read very differently in 2020.
