Welcome to Season 2 of DOFC! We're switching to comics, baby! Plus, we have a new schedule. Starting today, episodes will come out on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Patrons will get an early episode every other Saturday that contains four episodes in the new format. Each episode is around 20-30 minutes, and will cover one issue of a comic book. We're starting off with Grant Morrison's New X-Men run, and this episode covers some generalities: what's the state of the X-Men, who's Grant Morrison, why do people hate Frank Quietly, stuff like that.

Hey folks, not your usual DOFC episode this time around. Gary and I had a conversation about changing the format of the show after we finish covering Evolution, and then decided: screw it! Let's change the format now! So we are. We're dropping Evolution, and switching to COMICS. That's right! We're going to do an issue by issue breakdown of some of our (and your!) favorite arcs in the X-Men series, starting with Grant Morrison's New X-Men. This 20m episode will walk you through our thought process and lay out all these plans. Enjoy! Gary is on Twitter (https://twitter.com/garybuh), and Jeremy is too (https://twitter.com/jggreer).

In one bold stroke, writer Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman, Batman) propelled the X-Men into the 21st century, masterminding a challenging new direction for Marvel’s mutant heroes that began with the destruction of Genosha and never let up. Regarded as the most innovative thinker of the current comic-book renaissance, Morrison proceeded to turn the mutant-hero genre on its ear. Gone were the gaudy spandex costumes - replaced by slick, black leather and an attitude to match.
