That's right, folks! This week we discuss Andrew's favorite Marvel superhero, the one... the only... Carol Danvers, a.k.a Captain Marvel! Specifically, we're talking about the Higher, Further, Faster, More trade by Kelly Sue DeConnick, illustrated by David Lopez with colors by Lee Loughridge and letters by Joe Caramagna.
Andrew specifically wanted to say this:
Seriously folks, I love the character of Carol Danvers, in all of her complicated history. I feel like I didn't actually geek out enough while recording this episode. Like, I feel like I should have been more giddy with excitement. Anyway, since recording, I saw the movie and loved it, and I'm also going back and re-reading even more of Kelly Sue DeConnick's run writing this character and loving it. Carol is great because she's a feminist character without having to tell us in every panel "hey, I'm feminist" because SHE JUST IS.
There was a lot of hate floating around out there ahead of the movie, particularly from a lot of men who somehow felt threatened by all the feminist rhetoric attached to the film and the character. Let me definitively say, you guys that were trying to sandbag this movie have completely missed the point. I hope my daughter grows up to be Carol Danvers. She's smart, she's capable, she doesn't take shit, and she's capable of listening to others. We should all be a bit more like Carol.

It had to happen (especially if it's rigged, Andrew) - we finally talk about a book neither of us likes. Join us for a solid hour of excited yelling about communism, conservatism, bad writing, and the role of heroes in a world of injustice.

Well I don't know why we came here tonight.
We've got the feeling that something ain't right.
We're so scared we fell off our chairs.
And we're wondering how we'll get down the stairs (bro).
Clowns to the left of me! 
Vriska to the right!
Homestuck in the middle with you.
 
(Covers about a third of Act 5 Act 2, through page 3192.)

This week Andrew and Melissa discuss love, shapeshifter style as we discuss Noel Stevenson's delightful fantasy, Nimona. Andrew forgets he's not on a video game podcast, Melissa has so many reading recommendations that it requires an additional episode, and our fair friends promise that they'll do Homestuck... next time.
 
Other things we talk about:

and of couse...
