It's time to go back to Fairyland! We loved the first volume of Skottie Young's I Hate Fairyland when we read it back in 2020, so we thought we'd check out volume 2.
Will the art still manage to simultaneously be cute and grotesque? You know it!
Also, we begin our next long read with Thunderbolts #1 by Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley, with villains posing as heroes. How devious!
Next Time: X-Men - God Loves, Man Kills
 

April Fools! We're doing some weird comics today, because that feels like it makes sense.
We wanted to read Peter Porker and we only picked issue #16 because it had Baron Zebro in it. 
Then we read Avengers #200 because it's said to be one of the worst issues of all time, and it definitely deserves that accolade.
And we finally end Earth X in issue #X, in which Spiders-Man wears a hard hat.
The best thing in all these comics is the cool dinosaur that attacked Avengers Mansion.
Next Time: I Hate Fairyland, Pt. 2
 

With the passing of Akira Toriyama, we wanted to take a look at his most famous work, and one of the most popular manga/anime series of all time, the Dragon Ball series.
We go back to the first volume from 1986 and it's not what we expected!
Then we continue Earth X with #12 in which... uhh... we can't remember anything that happened. Did anything happen?  DID ANYTHING HAPPEN??
Next Time: April Fools Day where Carol Danvers marries her son in Avengers #200 + Spider-Ham meets Baron Zebro in Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham #16 + the Earth X Finale!

It's time for us to visit the late 90s with Kurt Busiek and George Perez's relaunch of The Avengers! Who will be on the new roster? Will we remember any of the history that Busiek digs up?
And is it ever a good idea to relaunch a book with an alternate reality story?
Then we go onto Earth X #11 where we say farewell to the character with the best one-liners.
Next Time: Dragon Ball, Vol. 1

Superman's still a fascist and now his best friend, Lex Luthor, is here to help him change the world in the 2nd half of Injustice: Year One.
Will Superman kill again? He will; he'll do it a lot. It's true Superdickery.
Then we continue to Earth X #10 where the Skull continues to be a major a*****e as Captain America and his forces attack.
Next Time: Avengers (1998) #1-6 by Kurt Busiek & George Perez

When the Mortal Kombat team makes a video game based on DC comic book characters and you need to write the prequel story, what do you do? You turn Superman into a fascist, of course.
We're reading the first half of Injustice: Year One from 2013, where Superman starts killing people, Wonder Woman supports him, and Batman don't like it.
Then we move onto Earth X #9 in which the Red Skull has a pretty good line.
Next Time: We finish Year One of Injustice (issues 7-12, or 19-36 digitally)
