We are still exhausted from Gen Con, but let's talk about how that show went! Show Notes: Run Time: 39:44 Christopher and Adam spend the first 7 minutes of the show just talking about how Gen Con went, especially the Letters Page Live panel. Spoilers: it went REALLY well. Just before the 5 minute mark, Christopher forgets the name of the musical instrument he played at the Letters Page Live panel. It's the melodica, dummy. The bulk of this interlude is getting to the questions that we brought to...

Corporate shenanigans! Ready to meet the CEO and more? It's time to talk about RevoCorp! Show Notes: Run Time: 90:18 We dig pretty deep into untold tales and history to reveal the RevoCorp story. This is all stuff that happens on the sidelines (for the most part) of the Multiverse, but we'll cover how it ends up impacting the world of Sentinel Comics. The Q&A section features people questioning our lies. It's good to see that we're getting that message through. Also, last week's question in ...

Time travel and psychic shenanigans! The many forms of Vanessa Long! Show Notes: Run Time: 105:49 We deal with multiple realities - and multiple Vanessa Longs (Vanessas Long?) in the first ten minutes, so buckle up! Brief show notes today, because: Gen Con! So, we promised a link to the Lazer Ryders Soundtrack in the show notes. Here it is on Spotify . It's also available on Bandcamp .

Akash'Bhuta, Akash'Thriya, and more! Show Notes: Run Time: 118:27 This show covers more time than any other episode. It's also one of our longest episodes! Appropriate. Around 5:40, we posit that this episode won't be longer than the Argent Adept episode. We were wrong. But just barely! Still, we shouldn't have been surprised. It takes us about half an hour to go through the first couple hundred million years. Then, we start slowing down, only covering thousands or even hundreds of years at a ti...

Buckle in, folks! We're going to meet a bunch of Virtuosos of the Void today, as well as delving into the Void itself!

We cover a ton of stories at a pretty breakneck pace, as we had SO MANY fantastic questions that we wanted to make sur...

The longest interlude we've ever recorded, by far! So many questions answered! The name of this episode is most certainly not "Lightning Round". Show Notes: Run Time: 83:50 We cover tons of characters in this episode. A ridiculous amount of them. And almost as many different stories. Ready for hopping all over the place? Strap in - it's going to be a bumpy ride! Just after the 50 minute mark, Adam and Christopher have a debate about who would win in a fight between two villains, and Adam actuall...

Let's talk about NINE villains! Nine times the goodness! Show Notes: Run Time: 72:47 There's a lot of rambling nonsense and nonsensical rambling in this episode, but there's also a lot of good story! Just before the ten minute mark, Adam divulges his scale of animal evilness, from most evil to least evil. So, that's probably a useful thing for all of you out there in internet land. Then, a bit after the fifteen minute mark, The Ennead start taking over Egypt, and we talk for the next 5-10 minute...

Is Ra the true Egyptian God of the Sun, or just a madman with the power of fire? Or, is he something else entirely? Show Notes: Run Time: 106:57 We start with a quick overview of who Ra is, and then start breaking down his long and somewhat convoluted story. Let's dig right in. In the first ten minutes of the show, we reveal Ra as a villain (of sorts) and then kill him off (sort of), and not at all as a joke! And it's not even the most exciting ten minutes of the show! Starting just before the s...

An episode about a slavering rat beast! Show Notes: Run Time: 76:10 Just a warning: we rehash some old jokes this show. We're out of material, folks. You heard it here! We're already washed up. But there are also some actual reveals in this episode! Like Plague Rat's real human name from before he was fully rattened! This is an episode of cautionary tales and important life lessons. Brush your teeth. Don't play in the sewers. Don't do drugs. Or crime. Stay in school, kids. We go from drug dealer...

Today is an American holiday, so we're going to talk about an All-American hero! Show Notes: Run Time: 83:50 Look forward to all manner of voices from Adam in today's episode! About 10 minutes in, we introduce the robot named CON. And yes, we will explain CON in this episode. It's about time! At the 20-minute mark, Adam refers to human flesh as, "Delicious, delicious flesh." We just want to mention right now: we do not support or advocate cannibalism. Adam does not consume human flesh and he doe...

Tarogath... the destroyer? Or savior? Or just all-around jerk? You decide! Show Notes: Run Time: 86:29 This is a no-nonsense episode! (Meaning we only engage in minimal nonsense.) It's not the longest episode we've recorded, but it might be the most jam-packed with exciting info! We start off by talking about the Enclave of the Endling , including proper pronunciation of the names of many Endlings and their fallen races. Got questions about the Enclave of the Endlings?

Show Notes: Run Time: 61:31 Right in the beginning, we mention that The Operative will come up later in the podcast. And then we follow-through on that promise! We talk about stuff between The Naturalist and The Organization - which does happen to involve The Operative - just after the six minute mark. Lots of exciting things in today's episode, including space adventures, business ta...

Let's talk about a shady organization that reaches throughout the Multiverse! Show Notes: Run Time: 67:07 At the beginning of the podcast, Christopher predicts that this episode will have a run time of an hour and twelve minutes. Turns out, didn't even make it that long! This episode, we cover F.I.L.T.E.R. in all of its incarnations, get into The Block - the extradimensional F.I.L.T.E.R. prison and HQ, and also talk about the story of Sergeant Steel and his Steel Squadron!

We're both older - but certainly no wiser - than we were last episode! Happy Birthday to us. We first introduced the character of Paige Huntly in last week's Chokepoint episode, as their stories intertwine before Agent Huntly ever becomes K.N.Y.F.E. When we get to the Progeny fight, we go into a bit of a discussion on whether Proge...

It's everyone's favorite team of heroes! Show Notes: Run Time: 68:52 We talk about every published incarnation of the Freedom Five and the Freedom Four, and often go down rabbit trails of nonsense, philosophy, or sometimes outright lies. Enjoy! Lots of callbacks to previous episodes today, but also a good deal of call-forwards! We hint at the contents of the episodes of Haka, Ambuscade, the Slaughterhouse Six, and more! The Q&A section in this episode is particularly robust, as well! IMPORTA...

A dastardly episode about Baron Blade, Freight Train, Ermine, Proletariat, and Friction! Show Notes Run Time: 92:42 The longest episode yet! I know that this is a podcast about characters from a fictional comic book series, but we start off by talking about the weather. A bunch. So, that's fun! Just before the four minute mark, we explain the format that we're using this episode, since we're covering a bunch of characters with overlapping stories. A thing we don't mention but is very true: this ...

Magicks from another realm! An ancient evil entity! What more could you ask for? Show Notes: Run Time: 89:06 Just as a heads up, Adam gets real demanding in this episode.

NightMist, Spite, Lifeline, even Doctor Medico! (Really big NightMist reveal during the Q&A portion, in particular...) At around the ...

Time to talk about NightMist! Lots of big story stuff here. Before the show even properly starts, Christopher jumps in to apologize for not posting an Interlude last week. We recorded it! It was really great. And then, the files got eaten by the internet, somehow. We have new plans in place to keep that from happening in the future (we're glad that we lost an Interlude and not an entire Episode), but we'll just have to re-record all that stuff this Friday after we record the GloomWeaver episode....
