  • I tried

    I tried but you are too often offended by what you call “diversity” characters. You seem to think only certain types of people are interesting and that’s more of a you problem. Diversity = reality. Take it how you like but really look at yourself without bias and do better.

  • Great comic book podcast

    What a great comics podcast! These guys are geeks for superheroes, like me, and they’ve carried their love for the medium and genre into podcasting. I especially like the Mayo Report and the detailed and insightful discussion in those episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A 2026-04
Q: The Absolute Line is dominating. What do you make of it and what is your guess on the state of the comics when they end the Absolute Line with Dan Slott begging for subs?
They express a cautious, skeptical outlook on the industry's health, debate whether the Absolute Line truly dominates, and acknowledge the lack of complete market visibility, while noting concerns about how such lines impact the mainstream and the timing of potential industry shifts.
Q&A 2026-04
Q: Are you reading series, main titles or events? I've been chasing events like Battleworld and Dark Reign.
The hosts discuss how their reading is more strategic, often prioritizing a few titles that fit current interests or conversations, rather than consuming broad catalogues, and note the challenge of following certain event-reading orders.
Q&A 2026-04
Q: First question is, what have you been reading digitally since the last discussion of finding what to read?
James explains his shift from broad reading to more targeted picks, citing a move away from chasing ongoing series toward more intentional titles, with ADHD-related read habits impacting what gets consumed, and John adds that the change has altered discovery and reading rhythm.
Legion Spotlight #032
Q: Did I notice any drastic changes in the style of the issue preceding these, or from the style of the issues preceding these?
Yes, there was a significant shift towards more decompressed storytelling and character development, aligning more with the Marvel Comics style.
Legion Spotlight #032
Q: What was it about the Legion of Super-Heroes that really connected with the fans at the time?
It was a bright, clean, and technologically advanced future that resonated with young readers, making them feel a sense of belonging and camaraderie with the teenage superheroes.
