    056 - Talking Pull Lists with Chad
    Jun 20 2025
    We welcome Chad from Last Comic Shop Podcast to run us through his pull list and which books he thinks you should be reading. Much like all of the hosts at LCS Pod, if they're recommending it, you should be reading it! Before we get to the main course, I dish my thoughts on Marvel's current line of Spider-man, Star Wars, and Ultimate books and tell you which ones I think are worth your time.

    Hello, Internet! This week, I go over my thoughts on the current stable of X-Men books and which ones you need to be reading. But, the main event - one of my favorite guests we've had on the show returns - it's Carlos! Carlos Loves Spider-man, and you can find him on Twitter and Bluesky with that very handle. We talk Spidey-titles, we talk Absolute vs Ultimate, we have a blast, and I hope you do too!

    053 - Talking Pull Lists with Kevin Newburn
    May 30 2025
    AND WE'RE BACK! It's been a minute but I'm finally ready to start releasing pods again. This week we're talking about what I think of DC's current offering of books, and 5 titles that I think should be on everyone's titles. Do I cheat and include 11? Absolutely. Do I have a reason to? Absolutely. Is absolutely a pun? Absolutely. After that we talk to artist Kevin Newburn about their pull list and what I need to add to mine! Kevin is a wonderful artist from the PNW who works on zines and loves comics. Follow him on Blue Sky at @kevinnewburn.bsky.social

    052 - Layla Miller Knows Stuff (X-Factor [2005] 1-6)
    Oct 7 2023
    SHORTBOX RETURNS! I am high on cold medicine, so please forgive the lateness of this episode, and the quality of the first 20 minutes. I forgot how to read, which is unfortunate, because the first third of this episode is just me reading my summary of X-Factor (2005) 1-6 with a quick summary of Madrox (2004) 1-5 beforehand. We (briefly) cover the five issue Madrox miniseries from 2004-2005 before jumping into X-Factor (2005) issues 1-6. We are in the House of M fallout and it's covering characters I didn't know before I randomly picked up a new issue 1 halfway through my sophomore year of high school. Is it good? Actually, yeah, it's pretty good. We summarize the books read in the first 20 minutes and then start the conversation with fabio at 20:05. Oh yeah, Fabio is back! Do you like him? I like him. So yeah, this should be a pretty good episode I recorded a little buzzed off cold medicine, please to enjoy! There are some new beats in this episode, provided to me by the singularly genius talent of Bugatti Elroy. Please find him on twitter @bugattielroy

    051 - the ex-men
    Sep 8 2023
    AND WE'RE BACK! I don't know if that vacation was deserved but it was definitely needed. Fabio returns to the show to help cover the fallout from House of M. First up, we talk House of M: Decimation - The Day After one shot that sets up story threads across existing and new (and returning) titles in the X-world of books and then we cover the three part HOUSE ARREST story that ran in adjective-less X-Men issues 177-179. If you're not interested in the summary, skip ahead to the conversation Fabio and I have at the 15:20 mark. Again, shout out to @bugattielroy for some absolutely killer beats I can't wait to use on the show going forward! I'm glad you like my show, but there are a ton of comic podcasts that I'm obsessed with!

This is the start of our House of M coverage, where Aleah and I break down the music - specifically the pop-punk and alternative songs that dominated our young lives. After that, Collin returns to break down the films we were seeing this summer back when the movies were nothing but magic. Next week we dive deep into the story of House of M, so get ready nerds - it's happening!
