    060 - X-Men Deadly Genesis with Dunne

    Our House of M fallout continues. Kinda. Sorta. The X-Men were all over the place in 2005, and not just because of the Scarlet Witch, but because of Xavier! This mini series details the hidden history of Professor X and one more way he's made life for Cyclops even shittier. Thanks to my buddy Dunne for coming on board to help me break it down!

    059 - Son of M with Andy Larsen (Last Comic Shop Podcast)

    The fallout of House of M continues! What happened to the man responsible for for the whole ordeal that ended up depowering 99% of all mutants everywhere? To be honest, nothing good - but what IS good is Andy Larsen, the host with the most from the Last Comic Shop Podcast stops by to break it all down with us, and also help remember December 2005-May 2006 was like.

    057 - Festivus in June

    It's a little early in the year, but with this unseasonable heat and humidity it's the right time to air some grievances, especially about comics. I try so hard to stay positive about comics, and I think we all did that today. But I am beyond frustrated with the business side of Marvel and I invited some friends on to let me get something off my chest. I also give them the opportunity to tell me if I'm right or if I'm entitled. Huge thanks to the Last Comic Shop Podcast boys, always a pleasure to talk comics with you!
