    Summer Session: Imperial feat. Escape the Mojoverse

    We are finally talking about the BEST characters in X-Men, the Shi'Ar Imperial Guard!!! For this week's summer session lecture, your hosts are joined by newly appointed best friends of the show Matt and Allison Parent of Escape the Mojoverse to talk about a pair of shorter arcs in the front half of Morrison's run, Germ-Free Generation! Disclaimer: Some of the comics discussed in this episode are drawn by Ethan Van Sciver. Both Mutant Studies 101 and Escape the Mojoverse would like to issue a very hearty "fuck that guy!" about Ethan Van Sciver. Comicsgate is a blight and also he has never done anything better than being a mediocre Frank Quitely fill-in. Topics for this lecture include: Loving just how romantic this book is, John Sublime as an atomic evil, Twin Peaks The Return part 8, Emma and Jean contrasting as love interests for Scott, a lot of good Hank talk, and... horse girl.

    Summer Session Field Trip: Supergirl

    Well... Supergirl is a movie. It is out. It... doesn't work. Your professors want to know why it doesn't work. Topics for this lecture include: Why doesn't this movie work? How is it that every time it fixes a problem with the comic it creates 3 new ones? At least Milly Alcock is good but oh goodness this movie is rough.
