  • Thoughtful, Insightful, and Fun!

    Been listening since close to the beginning and have been on board ever since.

The focus has been the original silver age team, giving me a viewpoint on them that I haven’t had before.

    His work and passion shine through it all and I’m so excited for his work in 2025. Can’... more

Ms. Marvel 10: Cry Murder, Cry M.O.D.O.K! With Andrew Drilon, Juan Ponce, and Josh Trujillo!
Q: What's it like for you writing flying characters?
Josh Trujillo says flight scenes need dynamic choreography to avoid feeling weightless. For teen heroes, flight can represent coming into their own and gaining control over their abilities.
Ms. Marvel 10: Cry Murder, Cry M.O.D.O.K! With Andrew Drilon, Juan Ponce, and Josh Trujillo!
Q: Do you want to talk about your work with Redwing and what it was like seeing the world through his eyes?
Juan Ponce explains that writing Redwing meant considering the limitations of a small bird as well as his courage, intelligence and confidence. Redwing's perspective as Sam Wilson's partner helped shape stories about a small hero stepping up to face larger challenges.
Bonus Patreon Release: Vapor! With Molly Lazer!
Q: What are our thoughts on this story?
Lazer describes the story as combining cosmic, body, and psychological horror, and says she generally roots for Vapor despite her villainous actions.
Bonus Patreon Release: Vapor! With Molly Lazer!
Q: Is it correct that the Hulk actually was trying to save them, and that's why he messed up with their spaceship?
Anderson confirms that the Hulk interfered while trying to help, though the U-Foes believe the interference caused their powers to become unstable.
Iron Man 109-112: Moonrise! With Ho Che Anderson and Shawn Porett!
Q: Ho Che, how did the era's geopolitics influence your reading of these Iron Man stories?
The late 70s context—Cold War tensions, anti-communist sentiment, and shifting cultural discussions—adds a layer of meaning to the conflict with Vanguard and Darkstar, making the political subtext feel integral rather than incidental.
