We get two great stories this week- one focusing on Puck, the other on Snowbird. The bonus? Our back-up stories give us the origins of Shaman! Come learn a little about all three in this episode as we review Alpha Flight issues 5 and 6.
Jason from The Avenging Hour pops on to talk to use about Machine Man and showcase three appearances that show us how the character evolved over the years. For this episode, we read Machine Man #19, Nextwave #1, and Tony Stark: Iron Man #3.
Two fresh issues of Star Trek Unlimited to cover in this episode! Yes, we skipped one. Why? Guess you'll have to listen to find out!
We swung by C2E2 this past weekend in Chicago and chat all about what we did! Who did we meet? What did we see? Tune in as we look back on a fantastic con!
Madrox dies and just keeps dying over and over. What's up with that? We take a dive into it and find a whole bunch of alternate universes and alternate dupe powers!
Our friend Chad from Graymalkin Lane swings by to chat with us about Cynthia Chalmers! She has a fun little side story connecting to the X-Men and the Sentinels. We review the X-Men stories from Marvel Superheroes issues 6-8 in this episode.
What happens when a comic book is adapted into a cartoon, then that cartoon is adapted into a comic book? Why, X-Men Adventures, of course! Join us as we look at the issue that contains Alpha Flight! We also chat about the episode from the X-Men Animated Series as well- it's a good time!
We continue our Canadian journey by following the team to Marrina's fate! We also have a very special guest appearance by an angry man with pointy ears and the woman who isn't his love interest. Jump into the frigid waters and join us!
We're tackling two issues of Star Trek Unlimited in this episode- we get Uhura, Geordi, and some uncomfortable ethnic cleansing and Leah Brahms moments. What do we think of this mixed bag? Beam in and find out!
We're here with another outstanding arc from X-Factor 225 through 228! We also talk about recent X book announcements and rumors and how we could never be a podcast to cover a bunch of current comics.
We are joined by the incredible D'Manda Martini to talk about one of her favorites- Betsy Braddock! Follow along as we read about Betsy in Uncanny X-Men 213, Uncanny X-Men 256, and Uncanny X-Force 24.
You ready for the beginning of the main Alpha Flight title? Good, because we are taking the plunge with the first two issues! We see the team jump right into action, adventure, and interpersonal drama!
We're back with more Trek-tastic adventures to review! Star Trek Unlimited gives us two more stories to enjoy and we get into our geeky thoughts and feelings about them!
We're having a baby! Just kidding- it's only Rahne. And she gives birth...through her mouth? Plus a one-shot story that leads into something more down the line!
John from the Avenging Hour joins us for our inaugural Rule of Three episode! The character he wants us all to love is Mr. Fantastic and he makes his case with Fantastic Four volume 1, issue 267, Fantastic Four vs. X-Men 3, and Fantastic Four volume 3, issue 60. Will he succeed? Listen in and find out!
It's our very first Alpha Flight episode! But we can't just jump into the main series. First, let's visit where it all began- Uncanny X-Men! We review Uncanny X-Men 120, 121, 139, 140 and Marvel Two-In-One 84 to get a feel for the team, what it's all about, and where they stand when the main series launches.
We begin our Star Trek coverage with a double sized issue- it's Star Trek Unlimited #1. What happens when a species has a fracking operation bigger than RuPaul's? Is grave robbing bad? These questions, and more, are answered as we visit with the crews from both The Next Generation and The Original Series!
Here it is, our return to X-Factor Investigations! We get things warmed up with a story arc connecting to some earlier X-Factor stories. Plus- Spidey, Black Cat, and J. Jonah Jameson!
We're here to preview what our upcoming season will hold for all of you! A rotating programming slate with four concepts to keep you (and us!) entertained and engaged!
We kick off 2024 with coverage of one of the last annuals we have yet to cover from 1993- Punisher War Zone! And what a war zone it was. Join us as we cover the issue, as well as talk about what we've been up to since we last recorded!
