Power of X-Men: The Greatest Comic Book Podcast in All of the Multiverse!
In this episode, we sit down with Avenue Magazine Editor-at-Large Alexander Mason Hankin to dive deep into all things Emma Frost. We explore her latest role in Marvel Rivals, unpack the evolution of her iconic X-fashion, and share our dream casting for Emma Grace Frost in the MCU—plus why we think Emma Roberts would be the perfect choice.
The boys kickoff Pride in the only way they know how: by assuming every character in the comics is gay. Ms Marvel is time traveling, Jonathan Hickman creates a new era of galactic politics maybe, and they get crazy about how many AIs are in Vision Quest (and don't need to be). They also talk about Peter David and his incredible work.

You stepped in for Tom Taylor on this annual—can you walk us through how that came about? Was this a story you had to write quickly, or did you have some room to breathe and make it your own? 2. The story kicks off with a classic locked-room mystery—an impossible murder in a high-tech safe room. What drew you to that kind of puzzle, and how did you approach building a detective narrative worthy of Batman?3. There's a moment where Batman's costume subtly shifts from black to blue once he's in London. Is that just a visual cue, or is there something more symbolic going on there?4. What's your take on the annual format? Do you see it as a chance to tell something self-contained and weird, or a pressure cooker to do a lot in a single oversized issue?5. You're working with a trio of incredible artists—Stefano Raffaele, John McCrea, and Fico Ossio. How did you decide who handled which parts of the story, and what did each artist bring to the table stylistically?6. This annual flirts with the idea of Batman not just solving crimes but confronting the nature of reality. How far is too far for Batman, in your mind, when it comes to stories that push past the physical world?7. UK mythology and angels? John Dee's magic - Elizabethan 8. Maybe the most important question of them all, what is Batman's favorite tea and how does he take it?
This week the boys discuss Marvel Secret Wars by Jonathan Hickman, Alan Tuck, the Sci-Fi Network and more!

Living Hell introduces readers to Jerome Jameel—a husband, father, and demon who has escaped Hell to start a new life on Earth. What inspired you to create a protagonist with such a complex duality?2. The series blends elements of humor, heart, and darkness, drawing comparisons to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Good Omens. How did you approach balancing these tones within the narrative?3. As both the writer and artist for Living Hell, how did your creative process evolve when developing the visual style to complement the story's supernatural themes?4. The concept of Hell as a prison where demons have lived in exile is intriguing. Can you elaborate on your interpretation of Hell and how it influences the characters' motivations?5. Jerome's encounter with a bounty hunter from Hell sets the plot in motion. Without giving too much away, what can readers expect from this confrontation and its impact on Jerome's new life?6. Living Hell is your creator-owned debut. What challenges and rewards have you experienced in bringing your own vision to life through this series?7. The series is described as a four-issue miniseries. How did you structure the storyline to ensure a satisfying arc within this format?8. (Fun/Silly Question!) If you were a demon escaping Hell to live incognito on Earth, what profession would you choose to blend in, and why?

This issue marks the first appearance of the eerie and brilliant telepathic sisters who would go on to become fan favorites — think “Mean Girls” meets “Cerebro.” Also introduced are the U-Men, and a VERY iconic Emma Frost scene! And YES — we finally discuss the Nemesis wave Marvel Legends!
Here we go, here we go, here we go again: another Spider-Man adaptation? Don't get your webs in a tizzy, True Believers, because this one is really worth it. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, the new animated series created by Jeff Trammell, imagines a branch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe where Peter Parker was never supposed to be bitten by that genetically altered spider–until he was. Cue wacky high school shenanigans, as a number of key changes from the comics and other shows/movies cause that butterfly effect to start flappin' its wings. Paul, Arlo, and forever guest Eric Sipple discuss how Trammell and company capture the spirit of the early Ditko/Lee comics, praise the vibrant animation, consider whether these iterations of the Osbornes are definitive, and much more. Plus, the gang pays tribute to Val Kilmer, there are new teasers for Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld and Superman, Arlo's been reading some more of the Kirby/Lee Fantastic Four, and Jonathan Hickman's Ultimate Spider-Man is the best Spidey book on the stands. NEXT: we yare what we yare, and what we yare is discussing Robert Altman's 1980 take on Popeye for a new That Was Then.

Four-score and 157 episodes ago, we are back in the world of Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben as we ask what if the Fantastic Four all had the same powers? We start off with yet another telling of their origin story in Mythos: Fantastic Four by Paul Jenkins & Paolo Rivera before jumping into our central issue by Jimmy Valentino that features Sue becoming Man-Thing, the FF as members of SHIELD, Johnny as Mr. Fantastic and the FF accidentally killing a baby. Yes, a baby. We wrap up with Jonathan Hickman's revolutionary soft-reboot of Marvel's first family leading into the decade long arc of Secret Wars, which seems prime to be a touchstone for the upcoming First Steps. Grab your headphones and power of choice and join us! Ep. 157 What if the Fantastic Four all had the same power?from What If Vol. 2 #11 (Marvel, 1990)Find us at https://linktr.ee/dearwatchersWe are back in the world of both What If and the Fantastic Four that sees our heroes adopt new powers across a four-part issue from Image co-founder Jimmy Valentino. Before that, we kick things off with a beautifully painted version of the FF's origin story from the pen of Paul Jenkins and brush of Paolo Rivera. We end by discussing the FF's modern era courtesy Jonathan Hickman and Dale Eaglesham in a 2009 issue that kicks off the very long lead up to Secret War. Plus, we ponder why the Fantastic Four's origin store has been told so many times (or has it) and if the groups needs to have these specific powers.

How do you approach crafting each issue to ensure it offers a unique yet cohesive experience within the overarching narrative?Ashley, introduced in issue #1, is a relatable character amidst the chaos.

How has your experience with those projects influenced your approach to Assorted Crisis Events? How is it juggling multiple books?In The Ultimates #10, the Red Skulls—a neo-Nazi group—appropriate the Punisher's iconic skull logo. What motivated you to intertwine these specific symbols, and how do you perceive their combined significance within the narrative?Given your focus on individual character narratives, are there contemporary societal issues you aim to explore through specific characters in future issues?In Absolute Martian Manhunter, you've described the series as a "radical reinvention" of the character, blending psychological horror with superhero elements. Could you elaborate on the creative challenges and freedoms you've encountered in crafting this narrative within DC's Absolute Universe?

Was it your own writers block?Can you describe the creative journey behind developing Seth Holms as a character struggling to write a happy ending?The comic is described as a "love letter to the Italian slasher genre"—how have films like those of Dario Argento influenced your storytelling and visuals?13How do you balance the elements of horror, gore, and B-horror camp with a critique of our cultural obsession with true crime?I really liked how, in a scene set in the narrative, you call back to the fact we're in the story within the story via lettering, was that in the script or Hassan's idea?With He Came in with a Smile as a backdrop, how does Seth's past impact the unfolding narrative in this new miniseries?What are some of the challenges you faced while infusing both literary and cinematic influences into a cohesive comic book experience?In what ways do you hope readers engage with the commentary on true crime fandom as they dive into this dark, twisted world?If you discovered that your own stories were coming to life, which character from 'You'll Do Bad Things' would you least want to encounter in a dark alley, and how would you try to escape their clutches?
