Episode Notes
In this episode, Zack spends a frustrating amount of time just reading Jeff Matsuda's LinkedIn page. Is it more entertaining than Howard Mackie comics? You be the judge (because we can't rank LinkedIn pages on this podcast, otherwise we are the judges).

Episode Notes
Marvel, many times, will tell you that nothing will ever be the same again, when many times, not only will it be the same, but you will forget that they ever said that things would be different. This is that but with character.

Episode Notes
If I only could, I'd make a deal with God. Have Paul Smith draw less Morlocks. It would fix a lot of things, make a bit more sense, but then we would miss these stories.

The X-Men have often been cartoons, but what if they tried to be funny? Would that be good?

I wonder if people know the burden of being an X-Men fan and having to keep all these stories in facts straight when, SOMETIMES, the comics don't put in the same effort to remember unimportant stuff.

Episode Notes
Some have called us the Cheech & Chong of X-Men podcasts. I've never seen those movies but I can say that if one of them is constantly suffering from bits that only the other person thinks is funny, then the descriptions fits. This is the weed number episode.

Episode Notes
In 2007, the creative team of J. Michael Straczynski and Joe Quesada had children's pull-ups character Spider-Man sell his marriage to the Satan Mephisto in exchange for the life of his dear Aunt May, an octogenarian who lived a full life that was marred near its end by nearly weekly health issues and who was assumed dead at the start of Straczynski's run.
Much like me with my own parent's divorce, losers who like comics have NEVER gotten over it.
