Why Not?! Read Alpha Flight with Chris & Tom"Always Choose the Sasquatch"We circle back to a couple issues we skipped over in our zeal to keep the narrative moving and boy do they really expand on Heather’s characterization. Are they groundbreakingly original stories? No. Are they solidly done and enjoyable? Absolutely. Mantlo…you really know how to play with our emotions.In this episode, Chris:points out that the only Alphan with a traditionally stable childhood is Marrina, who opted not to stick around very longhas some thoughts on Larry Hama writing AFoffers some recommendations for visitors to the St. Louis Zooand Tom:mana...

Why Not?! Read Alpha Flight with Chris & TomEpisode 37: "Bedlam? I Hardly Know Him!"It’s a proper 3-issue arc! Which feels shockingly novel! In which, the Canadian government finds out just how different an Alpha Flight—and Vindicator—they have on their hands; one of JMH’s failed experiments makes a return; JMH’s GREATEST failure shows up for a bit (yeah, Wolverine is guesting); Wanda muses on her current state (we’ll get to that conversation very soon); and members of the team wonder at, but do not act on, Purple Girl and Knapp’s budding relationship (which is indefensible). But, like, one story over three issues! And no Alphans leave or die! Winnin...

Y’know, given the way things were going, this might not be the worst possible…nah, this is still a pretty bad way to go out. Plus: Whitman Knapp shoots up the “worst character” rankings; Aurora is barely in either issue; and Wanda Langkowski works her way into our hearts.In this episode, Chris:provides a great update on his Baldur’s Gate 3 playthroughneeds to be more careful about what links he clickssuddenly has A LOT of voices to doand Tom:

We also get more amazing characterization for Madison Jeffries, the continuation of miserable Puck, and, well, a lot of other characters are…there.

The Rev Rx Podcast | Bible-Based Strategies to Strengthen Your Faith, Family, and HealthEpisode 77: 'Faith From The Dugout: Chris Hammond's Call To Real Christianity'This week on The Rev Rx Podcast, Chad Potts sits down with former MLB pitcher Chris Hammond — best remembered for his incredible 2002 season with the Atlanta Braves (0.95 ERA). But as powerful as his baseball story is, Chris shares something even more important: why living your faith from the bullpen isn’t enough.Chris opens up about losing his love for baseball, walking away from the game, and later making one of the most remarkable comebacks in relief pitching history. More importantly, he shares how his faith once mirrored his bullpen career — always hanging back, comfortable, waiting on the si...

We do get some interesting characterization for Misssster Jeffries (who might be extremely overpowered?!) and there’s a decent chance Roger Bochs will stop having the bends sometime soon.
