    Alright, 'Combies! Now, y'all know that comics are often at the heart of the geekery of the Honeycomb Hideout but there's still parts of comics we really haven't spent much time with lately. The X-Men has been an especially surprising blind spot of late, so today, we're fixing that! With the House of X/Powers of X relaunch from 2019 having been in effect for a while now and the X-Men still being one of the foremost allegories in comics for minorities, LGBTQ+, and other underrepresented peoples, it felt like the right time to finally deep dive on this major turning point for Marvel's "merry" mutants and, I'll warn you now... this will not go the way you think. But don't let that stop you, so come on down and see what we get up to.

This week on the Honeycomb Hideout we're diving back into the depths for our topic and, as is our way, it's a little bit complicated. The history of crossdressing is lengthy and, as was stated, complicated, with some very strong feelings on every side of the issue. So, since we don't shy away from tough topics, Joe and Christine are about to wade right into the deep end of this, try to really parse through, and see if we can't get to the gooey center of this topic! So, come on down! Let's see if we can learn some shit and be better for it!

    Alright, 'Combies! The Hideout is a wee bit low energy this time around but y'all know how we do, that ain't gonna last very long. LOL The topic at hand this week is beloved but underrated things; properties that we all love but that love don't seem to extend beyond just us or a minimal few. Now, this sounds like a fun, light topic, right? But if you've been listening to us for more than a few episodes, you know that we won't just be leaving it at that level. So come on down, folks!

    ALRIGHT, 'COMBIES! It's Disability Pride Month! As a podcast that puts a lot of effort into addressing diversity and issues of representation and, since the beginning of V3, we've had a discussion planned on the very topic and it finally felt like the right time to discuss this topic, and out of the crew, some of us absolutely have quite a bit to say regarding the frequent misrepresentations of people's with disabilities and how their representations in media have only just recently begun to change for the better but, like many things, still aren't where they need to be yet. So yeah, we're definitely getting deep into it this episode, so come on down and don't miss out on the conversation!

    ALRIGHT, 'COMBIES! Joe, Drew, and Christine are tackling a new topic from a new angle. Gaming in its many forms have become suffused into modern popular culture and societal interaction with video games seeming to be at the forefront of our ever-evolving interactive media. It's even evolving to a point where E-Sports are even starting to receive recognition and are even getting funding towards crafting full programs at universities. Considering the frequently dichotomous relationship society seems to have with video games, gaming culture receiving so much more attention is bound to have an effect worth analyzing, so that's JUST what we're going to do! So come on down and check out what your homies get up to with this nugget!

    Alright, 'Combies! It actually happened! The first 2-parter of V3! We didn't get very far in our assessment and review of Invincible last episode, so we just had to come back and finish what we started. Things definitely heat up as we make our way through the rest of the season, so you'll want to make sure that you've seen all of season 1 of Invincible on Amazon Prime before listening to this episode because we're spoiling all of it, even some stuff from the comics. However, if you're all caught up on your comics and cartoons, then come on down and chill with your peeps as we breakdown and share our thoughts on the rest of Invincible season 1!
