    Bonus Patreon release... the Scarecrow! With Clay McLeod Chapman!

    It's the public release of my focused episode on Ebenezer Laughton, the Scarecrow, with the hilarious horror writer, Clay McLeod Chapman! Initially a circus contortionist with some bank-robbing crows, the Scarecrow fought the X-Men in one of his earliest appearances. Then he went on to become a scary, demon-powered, serial killer guy who is somehow so scary but also hilarious! Come listen to Chad and Clay find delight in one of Marvel's biggest horror characters from the 90s!

    Interview with Roy Thomas part 2!

    Interview with Roy Thomas part 2!

    A year ago, Chad had the chance to interview Roy Thomas all about his early work on the X-Men. And I had the amazing fortune to interview him again for this episode! We cover the latter half of Silver Age X-Men here, discussing talent (Barry Windsor-Smith, Neal Adams, Jim Steranko), crazy plotlines (Red Raven's island, alien Frankentstein), and classic characters (Magneto, Sauron, the Sentinels) before we talk about why the book was cancelled! Roy is a treasure trove of information.

BEST X-PODCAST!!!

Obsessed with this podcast! I love how Chad assembles folks from creators to fans and it’s a fun nerdy convo!

Silly comics, great perspectives

This X-Men podcast offers fun, inclusive and insightful conversations and debates across a ridiculous era of beloved X-Men comics. Chad brings many perspectives to the table and keeps the topics moving while giving every voice value. This series also has particularly worthwhile interviews with many creators who have had impacts on the X universe and the medium as a whole. Subscribe and you won’t be disappointed!
