Phillip Sevy (who made the phenomenal art for these episodes!) drops by to chat about Quasar issue 12! Quasar has a confrontation with his soon-to-be-but-definitely-not-his boyfriend Makkari and he might have a pain fetish. Who knows, really?
Phillip and Daryl take a journey to the end of James Hudnall's run on Alpha Flight- so join them as a giant chunk of issues is talked about and find out why Phillip asked, "Do we even need to cover this issue?"
Not only does Quasar get a lil boyfriend time with Makkari in this issue, but Excalibur is here?!?! D'Manda Martini joins Daryl to talk about this bonkers and fun issue.

Daryl subjects Allison and Matt from Escape the Mojoverse to issue 10 of Quasar, in which Wendall almost gets his hands chopped off!
