Episode Notes It is Halloween and that means we are, yes, talking about the 2004 movie Van Helsing starting Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale, as well as the 2020 series Hellstrom starting Tom Austen and Sydney Lemmon. If people are looking for insights into those pieces of media instead of two dudes saying "lol remember that" turn elsewhere. Ranked This Episode: Uncanny X-Men Annual #6 (Blood Feud!)

Episode Notes This episode is dedicated to the memory of our friend Bobby Twoguys. He is still alive, but we're just thinking about him.

Episode Notes This week writer Jonathan Hickman (House of X, Secret Wars, Ultimate Spider-Man, East of West) joins us to talk about Midnight X-Men, his new horror infused book out October 7th. He talks about his approach to Vampires, the horror of late-stage capitalism, the minimalization of X-Men, the unexpected ending of his Ultimate Universe, how him and Alan Moore are alike, the impending AI apocalypse, the "great man" theory, and (of course) the ending of his time on X-Men. Y'all, it's a good one. Check out the Battle of the Atom Master Ranking List! New content every week on ComicsXF.com Follow Adam on Twitter @arthurstacy & never try to find Zack!

Episode Notes It's a Longshot one. We all like Longshot in theory but do we like him in practice? I oft ponder this. The man has an iconic, consistent pedigree but has it served him and the greater X-Men universe well? I don't know man, but it keeps me up at night.
