  • The Mystery of the Mystery Episodes!

    I recently discover the show and I’m have a great time pouring through the episodes. I try to read the issue before I listen or read along with the episode. Both are great ways to listen. However, I’m noticing many episodes are missing! Could this be the dastardly work of Dr. Regalus? Perhaps another plunder ploy of the Fatal Five? It’s time to call in the Subs! We need the missing episodes so we can find out the true story of The Magic War pouches! Thanks!
