She's winging in for some stories!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:57:33
We delve into just who in Fanatic's supporting cast is around in the mid-80s, and find some small hopes, at least! Then, we tell some tales. Fanatic's a complicated character, especially in the 80s.
Then, we answer questions from the recent Greazer and Fashion episode! Yes, we talk about Cardshark and Kaargra Warfang.

Episode #281 - Writer's Room: Tome of the Bizarre Vol. 3 #170
We gotta save the planet!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:37:35
We tell a story... but first, we tell you all the Professor Pollution backstory connecting bits that we'd never bothered to go into before! So, you're welcome! And/or apologies! Depending on how you feel about all that.
Anyway, right, then on to the story! You know what ultimately happens in it, but the beat-by-beat is still pretty dang good! At least, in our opinion.
Join us next week for yet another "A Day In The Life" episode, this one all about Fanatic! -
Episode #280 - Writer's Room: Disparation Vol. 2 #122
The end of the Oracle!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 1:17:50
Look how short this episode is! It's not because anything was ommitted — no, we just knew this whole tale, and told it post-haste! Is it a good tale? That's for YOU to decide!
We answer some questions from recent and NOT AT ALL RECENT history. Do the questions ripen with age? Or do they rot? Or neither?
So many questions in today's show notes. Too many? Who can say?!
Join us next week for a Writers' Room about that one time when Akash’Bhuta became Akash’Thriya! Woo!

Looks like it's time for Space Stuff!
Show Notes:
Run Time: 2:09:45
What's with all these long episodes (for the most part) lately?! We must be catching up for lost time in the first few months of the year. Yeah, that's it — gotta make sure our average episode length smooths itself out.
This episode is just a straight-up continuation of a previous episode: Episode #225, in fact! Haven't listened to it before? We recommend going back and checking it out before diving into this one. We clarify some things from the issue we Writers' Roomed in that one, cover the issue after that, and then dive deep into today's title/cover issue! Woo!
Then, in the letters section, we talk about love. What's not to love?
See you next week (or this Friday, if you're on the Letters Page Patreon) for an Editor's Note!
Customer Reviews
Must-listen for Sentinels fans, and great for creatives!
(Updated from original review in Feb 2017.) For those of us who enjoy the characters and lore of Sentinels of the Multiverse, Sentinel Tactics, Sentinel Comics RPG, and other games from Greater Than Games, this podcast with the creators is amazing! In addition to all the backstory and reveals it provides, Christopher and Adam are (as always) fun and entertaining to listen to. Their love of the Multiverse they have created is apparent in the energy and attention they provide, here, and make this a wonderful experience! For many of the fans, having the ability to directly ask questions is the best part, as all the theories and conjecture from years of online discussions are being addressed! In addition, it's an impressive experience to hear two creators bouncing off of each other, how they work, and how those results come to fruition, making it a potential learning experience for other creatives, be it in game design, fiction writing, art, etc. As the story has been told, the podcast has transitioned beautifully through various states, maintaining its wonderful story telling while continuing to entertain throughout -- and allowing its listeners to be involved more and more as time goes on.
Always Surprised
I started collecting Sentinels of the Multiverse items in early 2018, and this podcast has more than doubled my appreciation for the characters and stories in the game. Whenever I start listening to an episode that I think is about a boring hero or villain, I come away thinking how awesome their story is. Christopher and Adam, you guys are super cool, and it’s been awesome joining you on this journey to the multiverse and beyond.
A great podcast
I’ve been playing Sentinlas pf the multiverse since the first Kickstarter and love the game. But this podcast adds so much depth to the game. It’s also great story telling. I highly recommend it for fans of the game and fans of good story telling.
