2023-12-151h 12Hype is my SuperpowerEpisode 107: Judgment Day pt 2: Poetry workshop with a giant fire-minotaurJudgment Day continues! In this episode we tackle the side stories of the crossover, where the interesting gristle of the story — outside the main plot beats — often gets told. And we couldn't go very far without continuing our love fest for the crossover's breakout character, Syne the Memotaur. Covering A.X.E.: Judgment Day Companion (2023).
2023-12-092h 45Hype is my SuperpowerEpisode 106: Judgment Day pt 1: Avengers and X-Men and Eternals, Oh My!Crossover time! The Krakoa-era X-Men, Kieron Gillen-penned Eternals, and dead Celestial residing Avengers cross paths in a heck of a book. What seemed like a setup for at first a simple brawl, and then a straightforward superhero triumph, twists and morphs into a metaphor for collective moral responsibility and climate change? Whatever this book is, Gillen writes the absolute bajeezus out of it, and we gush appropriately.

We wanted to cover Destiny of X the same way we'd read previous Krakoa-era stories, with collected editions collating all the different books. Buuuut those haven't been printed, or even solicited... in English. So we took the issue list from the French versions, because why not. So, this episode covers X-Force Annual (2022), X-Men vol 6 #9-10, Immortal X-Men #1-2, X-Men Red vol 2 #1-2, Knights of X #1, X-Force vol 6 #27, Wolverine vol 7 #20, Marauders vol 2 #1-2, Legion o...2023-11-122h 44Hype is my SuperpowerEpisode 102: And then Marvel stopped publishing comics foreverWe're back, again!

2023-09-142h 12Hype is my SuperpowerEpisode 98: Giant-Sized Trials of X Podcast #4Superhero comics subject their characters to a lot of punishment and trauma as a proxy for character growth, but rarely are they allowed to heal as gracefully as in the Shadow King arc on New Mutants by Vita Ayala and Rod Reis — which makes up the centerpiece of our podcast covering Trials of X vols 7 and 8. Also, Wolverine goes surfing!
2023-07-232h 08Hype is my SuperpowerEpisode 97: The Return of NeithI thought we were done with Gnomon over a year ago. So why did Neith show up in this week's comics? Did she... waterfall into the Marvel multiverse?

2023-06-182h 33Hype is my SuperpowerEpisode 91: When Black superheroes are derivative charactersIt's great when Spider-Man or Captain America is Black — while their story is being told. But what happens to that character when the powers upstairs want to reintroduce the classic, more established white character? Has enough been done to let the Sam Wilsons and Miles Moraleses of the world stand on their own without getting lost in the shuffle?
We came to that discussion through reading comics, of course! Will took on Fantastic Four: Life Story, Captain America: Symbol of Truth vol 1: Homeland, Captain Marvel vol 8: The Trials, and Miles Morales vol 8: Empire of the Spider.
