A familiar team, yet one that never was! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:06:35 We do another early Disparation story! These are always fun. Just a note on Letters Page timeline: we're pretty much back on our regular schedule but the episode numbering is one behind since we interjected with last week's non-standard episode. As a result, the first episode for March will be what was going to be the last February episode. We'll still have voting and Editor's Notes as usual, and we're still a week ahead on r...

WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING Show Notes: Run Time: 40:06 This isn't a real episode! I mean, it has all of the elements you'd expect: an overview, a questions section, and even some things from the past that you might not expect! However, it's missing a major key part that makes Letters Page episodes possible. You'll just have to listen to find out. More notes? Nah, no more notes. Take a listen. It's a fun time.

You didn't request an episode about the death of Legacy, but here we are! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:19:54 As per the topic, we tell a story about a villain vs a villain, but with unexpected twists! We get to the Overview just after 10 minutes in, questions at the 38 minute mark, and talk about the above cover at around 1 hour and 14 minutes. Note: the last question we answer is one of the best questions with one of the best answer, and also this is one of my favorite covers that Adam has ever done...

We're finally back! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:08:32 We're here in the future! And we're going to talk about the past! A not-too-distant but very different past!

After all that noodling, we finally get to your questions at the 47 minute mark. If you're on the Letters Page Patreon, join us this coming Friday for our anniversary live show! We didn't i...

Hey, everyone! We said there was no episode this week, but hopefully you've learned that you can't trust us by now! Show Notes: Run Time: 20:25 We talk about this year, answer some questions, and perhaps more? (No, not really anything more than that.) See you next year, everyone!

It's Christmas Eve! Let's talk about an avenging angel with absolutely no chill whatsoever. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:50 We talk a bit about Christmas, and then, about 4 minutes in, we get to work! We expected this one to be tough, but it turns out that we were visited by the ghost of Sentinel Comics past, and they did the work for us! Just after the 53 minute mark, we start in on your questions. At just before an hour and 15 minutes in, we talk a bit about the cover, which is shown above. Happ...

We goofed around for a few minutes, but after only about 4 minutes of goofs, we got right to business! We craft enough framing for a story that we end up doing both parts 1 and 2 in one episode! So speedy! Around the 50 minute mark, we get into your questions. At about an hour and 10 minutes in, we talk a bit about the...

How does time even work? We talk about a bunch of space stuff, to the point of even crafting and telling multiple tales, due to the anthology nature of the Cosmic Tales book at this point. Around 32 minutes in, we get to your questions! The day after this episode releases, we're recording another episode on...

Good morning, everyone! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:14 We banter about RPG stuff, then get into a series of conversations about just what comic book we're talking about today. You already know, due to the name of the episode and also the nifty cover art above! We have a blast putting together all the building blocks, telling the story, answering your question, and discussing the cover. We hope you enjoy it, too!

Time for a very animated episode! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:38:51 In this episode, we start off by talking a bit about the previous animated series stuff, as it's all quite excellent. Seriously, go listen to those other animated series episodes - they're great. Then, after about four and a half minutes of banter, we get into this latest phase of animated shows: four shows (including one entirely new show) and two movies! That takes us... a while. Finally, we get to your questions right around the ...

Let's get EXTREME! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:11 This one is about Citizen Dawn in the Extremeverse! We don't know where it's going when we start, but it ends up in a REALLY awesome place. Go figure. Like, how did we start with the seed of "Citizen Dawn" and get to that cover above? Only one way to find out! We're throwing the horns for Trevor, who did a badass job editing this one. He always does great, but he brought the noise on this one. (In this case, "brought the noise" is a good thing.) T...

Let's get Monstrous and Magical? Who are we kidding - we're always monstrous and magical. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:18:43 We start out assuming we've already covered all the monsters and magics... but we prove that untrue quite swiftly. But then! Your questions are what unlock even MORE great content! We start in on those questions just after the 30 minute mark. Thanks everyone for listening to these spooky but not too spooky episodes - but don't you fret: November is right around the corner! We'r...

We also end up bridging over into a "Writers' Room" style episode, accidentally. Sorry about that. We just felt like creating, I guess? It worked out, but this episode is all over the place. Scary!

It's the first creepy episode of the second most creepy month: October! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:12:50 After confessing our sins, we get to our creative process overview at around the 6 minute mark. And we are on fire! (At least, in our humble opinions.) Apparently, we should create in the face of adversity more often! One successful creation segment later, we get to your questions, at just before the 50 minute mark. Thank you for your questions! Also, thanks for listening! Don't forget to have a...

We talk about the bad guys who work for the bad guys... and also some deep philosophical topics? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:05 Good morning, everyone! After a very short amount of banter, we go to an overview only two and a half minutes into the show. There, we go through most every major villain and how they use minions, if at all, who those minions are, and more! This process ends up taking a while, and we have a fun time of it, all told. We hope you do, too! Then, just before the one hour and...
