It's another edition of the Away Mission, in which we invite fellow Asian American fans of Star Trek to do a deep dive into an episode of their choosing. We welcome Arune Singh to discuss "Tuvix" from season two of Star Trek: Voyager. We talk about the cowardice of colleagues, "Faith of the Heart," and Harry Kim's clarinet, among many other things.

Perez.On twitter, you can follow Arune at @arune, and you can follow A.J. at @byajperezThe Montreal Canadiens won their second game of the season, with Jake Allen putting on one of the best performances of any goaltender this season in shutting out a Sharks team that pushed hard in the second half of the game.Brendan Gallagher, Josh Anderson, and Alex Romanov all scored their first goals of the year, and Jonathan Drouin continued his excellent play.On the defensive side, things remained quite rough, and Jeff Petry still looks out of sorts, but is this a possible turning point now that Nick Suzuki is looking engaged offensively?Also on today's show, the panel discusses the grotesque mishandling of Brad Aldrich's sexual assault of Kyle Beach in 2010, and their feelings on Marc Bergevin declining to talk to the media about the findings of the Jenner & Block investigation.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

If you know Arune Singh then you already know why we wanted to have him on this podcast. If you DON’T know Arune Singh, you’re about to find out why we wanted him on this podcast. Like most of us Arune has spent a majority of his life as a comic book fan and reader (and like us, behind the counter). Unlike most of us, Arune has spent years on the publishing side of the comics industry. How and why he got there is just waiting for you to learn. And sadly, we don’t talk about “Hangman” Adam Page nearly enough.

The dynamic duo of Robbie Landis and Ben Morse are back once again for another episode of the Other Identity. The Other Identity is a podcast dedicated to exploring the culture birthed by comic books. This week The Great Landis and Professor Awesome spend the episode talking about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What heroes from Marvel Comics are better in the MCU than on the pages. It's been over a month since the quarantine was put in place and Ben is feeling it. Robbie, on the other hand, is having trouble keeping track of time. They both explain what they've been doing during the last week of quarantine. Robbie also talks about what really makes comics special and a few issues in DCs Rebirth Era that demonstrates it. Robbie and Ben are currently on DC Comics reading challenges. Ben, along with Arune Singh, is reading through Reign of the Supermen for the #ReadoftheSupermen. While Robbie and Ben are making their way through the entire collection of the Rebirth Era in the #DCRebirthEraChallenge. Join them and add to the discussion on their twitter pages. For their discussion about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Robbie poses a question. What Marvel Comics characters are portrayed better in the MCU? While their answers don't need to come from just Marvel, most of them do. They also discuss which movies from the MCU are underrated and deserve more praise. Robbie and Ben share some similar beliefs, but there are also a few reasons for concern. Robbie puts a very hot take out there and Ben doesn't know what to say.

The dynamic duo of Robbie Landis and Ben Morse are back once again for another episode of the Other Identity. The Other Identity is a podcast dedicated to exploring the culture birthed by comic books. This week The Great Landis and Professor Awesome are joined by special guest, Arune Singh. Arune Singh is the Vice President of Marketing at BOOM! Studios. He's worked at Marvel and Syfy and is currently embarking on the #ReadOfTheSupermen with Ben. He joins The Other Identity to talk about what life has been like during the Quarantine. All three of the guys share what they've been reading outside of their reading challenges. With such a long history in the comic book industry, Arune shares his origin story and as well what comic book characters were inspired by him. Ben shares a few stories of his own and Robbie laments being the only one without a cameo in a comic book. Arune also discusses how X-Men was one of the first comic books as a kid to inspire him. Finally, Ben and Arune talk about their challenge #ReadOfTheSupermen where they're reading an issue of Reign of the Supermen each day.

The dynamic duo of Robbie Landis and Ben Morse are back once again for another episode of the Other Identity. The Other Identity is a podcast dedicated to exploring the culture birthed by comic books. This week's episode is recorded two weeks into the Quarantine for the Covid-19 (corona-virus). How are Robbie and Ben holding up during their self-isolation? Find out on The Other Identity - Quarantined. Two weeks into the Quarantine the Other Identity is still going. Both Robbie and Ben are stuck at home recording and this leaves a lot more time to read. Catch up with what they've been spending their time. Robbie has wrapped up Batwoman (2016) from the DC Rebirth Era. Meanwhile, Ben is jumping all over the place reading an issue of DC here and Marvel there. Plus, not everyone has time to dedicate to reading entire runs of a comic. There are some fans who are into the superhero genre, but not big into comics. With self-isolation and quarantines happening all over the world, streaming platforms are a great way to keep yourself engaged. Ben and Robbie go over some of their favorite movies and shows from a variety of platforms for listeners to check out. Finally, they discuss Titans (2016) from the DC Rebirth Era. Both Robbie and Ben have embarked on reading challenges of their own. Ben, along with Arune Singh have begun their #ReadOfTheSupermen and Robbie has started his #DCRebirthEraChallenge. Since both Ben and Robbie are reading Titans at the same time, they discussed their initial impressions from the first few issues. There's a lot of Wally West in it.

It’s been a busy few months for comics and rumors within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Everything from the Guardians of the Galaxy allegedly showing up in Thor 4. To Charlie Cox reprising his role of Daredevil in the next Spider-Man solo film. Plus, New Warriors just launched a new team of teenage heroes and two of them are at the center of a debate. Psychically connected twins Snowflake and Safespace are just the latest additions to the Marvel pantheon of heroes. Some people think that the names are just a bit too on the nose may be virtue signalling. Plus, Ben assigned Robbie to read one of his favorite stories in the Marvel library, Marvels Annotated. It’s a take on the creation of the Marvel universe through key events such as the appearance of the Human Torch, the X-Men and the first time Galactus visited earth. Ben loves it, but Robbie has some reservations… Finally, both Robbie and Ben are starting their own social media challenges! Ben, along with Arune Singh have started their read through of Reign of the Supermen. You can join in along with them and make sure to tag and hit the hashtag #ReadoftheSupermen. Meanwhile, Robbie has taken it upon himself to read through the entirety of DC Comics Rebirth Era with the #DCRebirthEraChallenge. Make sure to follow them both along with CheckpointXP on Twitter and Instagram to follow along.
