  1. Episode 124: Amelia Voght (feat. Patrick Sullivan) — Part Two: Play Misty for Me

    Episode 124: Amelia Voght (feat. Patrick Sullivan) — Part Two: Play Misty for Me

    In Episode 124 of CEREBRO, Connor and returning guest Patrick Sullivan swirl into space with the variable Amelia Voght! Created by Scott Lobdell and John Romita, Jr., Voght is one of the more memorable characters introduced to the X-Men franchise in the years immediately following Chris Claremont's departure. She's a member of the Acolytes, a sect of religious zealots who worship Magneto as a messianic figure — but has a tragic past with Charles Xavier, the man she once loved. While she plays a significant role in many 90s storylines, since the destruction of Genosha in 2001 the character has mostly been off page. More recently, though, a memorable turn as part of the SWORD space program on Krakoa brought Amelia back to some prominence. This is Part Two of Two. Go back to Part One if you haven't heard it yet! Patreon subscribers now have exclusive access to the combined 7.5-hour Extended Aunt Amy Mix.

  3. Episode 123: Quentin Quire (feat. Scott Platton) — Part Two: You Were Never My Age

    21/10/2025

    Episode 123: Quentin Quire (feat. Scott Platton) — Part Two: You Were Never My Age

    In Episode 123 of CEREBRO, Connor and lawyer Scott Platton (a.k.a. cosplayer and podcaster Scott Free) disrespect their elders with Quentin Quire, the cavalier Kid Omega! Created by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, Quentin is one of the most iconic figures from Morrison's then-polarizing and now-legendary run on New X-Men — Charles Xavier's young protégé, an omega-level telepath who becomes a threat to friend and foe alike when he's radicalized by the destruction of Genosha. Quentin's ill-fated scheme, the Riot at Xavier's, is one of Morrison's most memorable story arcs. Years later, Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo's Wolverine & The X-Men dramatically reimagined Quentin as an antihero on a begrudging quest for redemption, a new kind of sidekick for Logan. This version of the character became enormously popular, ascending to A-list status in the franchise as a member of the X-Men and, on Krakoa, X-Force. It is difficult to square these two very distinct versions of the character. We're going to do our best. This is Part Two of Two. Go back to Part One if you haven't heard it yet! Patreon subscribers now have exclusive access to the combined 8.5-hour Extended Hostile Strength Mix. (Content Advisory: Quentin's story is about the radicalization of a teenager into a violent extremist, and thereafter a process of deradicalization. Lots of heavy topics discussed here.)

  5. Episode 122: Gatecrasher & Technet (feat. Jadzia Axelrod)

    31/07/2025

    Episode 122: Gatecrasher & Technet (feat. Jadzia Axelrod)

    In Episode 122 of CEREBRO, Connor and DC writer Jadzia Axelrod (Hawkgirl, Galaxy) traverse the multiverse with the gregarious Gatecrasher and her temperamental Technet! Created by Jamie Delano and Alan Davis, this interdimensional, time-traveling cadre of bounty hunters are best known as foes — and sometime friends — of Captain Britain and Excalibur. They are an iteration on a similar earlier team, the Special Executive, which was created by Alan Moore with a succession of artists: David Lloyd, Steve Dillon, and then Davis. An oddball gang of alien misfits, Technet have become iconic despite their relatively scanty publication history because they're simply that memorable. If you grew up reading classic Excalibur, you're likely to throw Technet into a comic book at some point. The CEREBRO character file on Technet begins at 43:38. (Content Advisory: Gatecrasher and Technet are generally pretty lighthearted, but they are adjacent to stories involving sexual violence, substance abuse, and suicide.)

  6. Episode 121: Mariko Yashida (feat. Justin Park) — Part Two: Honor, Duty, and Whatnot

    27/06/2025

    Episode 121: Mariko Yashida (feat. Justin Park) — Part Two: Honor, Duty, and Whatnot

    In Episode 121 of CEREBRO, Connor and returning guest Justin Park consult the ancestors with Mariko Yashida, the stoic Scarlet Samurai! Created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, inspired by the character Mariko Toda from James Clavell's 1975 historical novel Shōgun, Mariko is the daughter of an ancient Japanese noble house who becomes the great love of Logan, aka Wolverine. Over the course of Claremont's time with the character, she becomes the formidable leader of the politically powerful Clan Yashida.  After her tragic death in a 1992 story by Larry Hama, Mariko's memory haunted Wolverine for decades until her resurrection in a 2018 arc of Old Man Logan written by Ed Brisson. In the interim, a popular alternate universe version of Mariko — her world's version of Sunfire — was a regular cast member in Judd Winick's Exiles in the early aughts, making a sizable impact as one of Marvel's first prominent lesbian superheroes. Recently, another alternate version of Mariko — this one created by Japanese writer-artist Peach Momoko — was the protagonist of the celebrated series Demon Days and its sequel Demon Wars. The CEREBRO character file on Mariko Yashida begins at 1:23:36. This is Part Two of Two. Go back to Part One if you haven't heard it yet! Patreon subscribers now have exclusive access to the combined 8.5-hour Extended Study in Scarlet Mix. (Content Advisory: Mariko's story includes domestic violence. This episode features general discussion of racism. There's a lot to unpack.)

    Bonus Episode: Giant-Size X-Men 2025 (feat. Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly)

    Hey there, Zalagang! Today I'm joined by returning guests Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing to discuss their new miniseries Giant-Size X-Men, a 50th anniversary celebration of the iconic 1975 Len Wein and Dave Cockrum classic. Spinning out of their recently-concluded title NYX, this series of one-shots follows Kamala Khan on a wild time-bending ride through X-Men history. After some NYX debriefing, we dig deep into today's Giant-Size X-Men #1, exploring what this new twist on an old story means for Ms. Marvel and for the world of X as a whole. This episode contains FULL SPOILERS for Giant-Size X-Men #1 (2025), so please read the issue before listening. You can support CEREBRO on Patreon!
