One of the most surprising things about tracking podcast numbers is that the number of likes an episode post gets on Instagram is basically unrelated to download numbers.

I am caught up on that one and agree!

Wolverine celebrates his birthday in three very different miserable ways this week on #BattleoftheAtom ! 🎁

What’s a comic you’ve read recently that made You go “wow”?

(Curse Words by @charlessoule.bsky.social and @ryanbrowne.bsky.social)

I’ve already talked this up, but re-reading it at the gym while listening to the soundtrack? Wow indeed.

If you loved Dark Patterns remember the Trade is out March 31st and @danpgwatters.bsky.social new arc of Nightwing with artist Denys Cowan starts with issue 136! FOC of that issue is NEXT MONDAY! Seriously, Dan’s Nightwing rules. #comicsky

X-MEN INFINITY is running now on @marvel unlimited! And Logan knows there ain't nothin' wrong with being called a dog--high praise to anyone who gets it.

Well that’s just good business!

At one point Dan is asked Cats or Dogs and answered Cats, but Rabbits now and I almost cut that section and emailed it immediately to @saracentury.bsky.social and @maconfleetwood.bsky.social

Oh my gosh I love him.

What is wrong w me

Event Horizon, the prequel series.

Phenomenal prequel story. And truly disturbing! A great scifi horror comic series!

No wonder it's selling out and getting a sequel!

This should be the first Krakoan nostalgia mini.

A couple panels from a comic book. Panel 1: A young woman in black leather kisses a pink-haired woman passionately. A woman approaches from the street saying; “Excuse me, Miss Teenage Warhead? We were so sad about Cyclops’ death. We baked you some banana bread.” Panel 2: Cyclops watches from far above, as a shadowy figure approaches him. Cyclops: “Is Negasonic… building a whole team of girlfriends?” Person: “She’ll make a hell of an X-Man someday. Got a minute, Scott?”

It was real cowardice on the part of the Krakoa-era X-Men editors that they never greenlit a book about Negasonic Teenage Warhead's X-Men team composed entirely of her sapphic mutant polycule.

What’s a comic you’ve read recently that made you go “wow”?

Nightwing by @tomtaylormade.bsky.social and @brunoredondo.bsky.social

By far one of the best comic runs that I’ve ever read

I’m a little worried I’m going to be singing “eatin mickie Dee’s and drinking Cheerios” forever now.

No it’s a bigger wow. More of a holy shit

I’m currently reading Nightwing and Green Arrow! That’s how I ended up liking Roy, lol.
