    57 - New Mutants #22-25 & MTU Annual #6 - Cloak and Dagger

    Hey, have you noticed anything strange about Bobby and Rahne lately? Like how they keep staring off at the Holy Ghost Church with a haunted look in their eyes? Or how they keep writing fairy tales and attacking Colossus? Well, it's time for Matt and Pat to dive into this mystery and figure out what the heck is goin' on! And we think it might involve a racially insensitive superhero duo created by Bill Mantlo who hate drugs and pimps SO MUCH. Plus, Magneto falls from space, gets ate by a shark, and hits a woman. All that, plus the most unhinged Pat's Steals and Deals of all time (or at least since Matt bought the Winged Warrior Hat immediately upon learning of it.) Topics Discussed: Don't make me beat up drug dealers! A room of dead children. CATS horns up the New Mutants. Gangs of roving criminals. 2-FOR-ONE Glancing Blow/Rahne Head Injury. Is Spider-Man real? Classic mad scientist! "Yeah." A deceptive clown dance. Rahne Sinclair is a rescue dog. FRIEDRICH VON ROEHM! Rahne's Buddy The Elf moment. Not a good fairy tale. "Invulnerable while blastin'" #11. Emmanuel Da Costa doesn't wanna wear the Hellfire outfit. MIRAGE. HARRY MORRELL: NEW FAVORITE CHARACTER. "There's Bobby." Ultimate Fear, Desire, and Customer. Father Michael Bowen is back! Fear.com. Prayer works!
