A world where the heroes are villains and the villains are heroes! Wacky! But then, these foes don't look so much "wacky" as they do "actually really evil"... Show Notes: Run Time: 1:40:37 We get right into it, which is good, because we have a lot to cover today! In the 3rd minute of the podcast, Adam claims that by 1988, the movie The Land Before Time had been released some time ago. Turns out, it was actually released November 18, 1988. So, pretty close! Then, we get into the Disparation stori...

We create something without any preparation! Will we make a hero? A villain? An environment? Something else entirely? We don't know yet! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:47:26 We recorded this episode live with the help of our Patreon Contributors! The episode is much better than the live recording, as Trevor has cleaned up the audio and also cut a bunch of dead time when we were just reading the chat and things like that. Still, if you want, you can watch the live video here . Want to be a part of our f...

We're back to the very beginning! Revisiting the Legacy story from our very first episode. (This art is the pencils Adam did in 2010 for Legacy which were then scanned in and inked and colored to make Legacy's first character card art! Adam will probably hate that I used this art, but it's good to see your roots.) Show Notes: Run Time: 1:28:45 We start off by talking about the weirdness that is this coming Thursday's Extrasode. Then, just before 6 minutes in, we finally get into the history of S...

Then, at the one hour and 51 minute mark, we get to your questions. Also! A future section, about two hours and 21 minutes in! Votin...

The dread scion! It only exists to exercise the will of OblivAeon! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:20:24 We start off with an overview of when and how Progeny first showed up in the pages of Sentinel Comics, starting with the Freedom Five book. Just before the 18 minute mark, we briefly get back into the debate of "does Progeny's head blasting off into space look cool." Spoilers: there is no real resolution to this argument. Just after 19 minutes in, we get to the Progeny origin story, which is told in ...

Now, the episode goes live for everyone! This Extrasode is probably more serious than most will be,...

The long-awaited episode for one of the first heroes from Sentinel Comics! Show Notes: Run Time: 3:29:10 Our longest episode yet! It is astounding to me that an episode about one character ended up longer than our previous longest episode, the Southwest Sentinels/Void Guard episode, about 4 characters who make up two teams with major changes in there. But, then again, hardly surprising that Tempest takes so long to cover - really speaks to just how much is going on in the Tempest story. We cover...

One of the most important heroes of Sentinel Comics is also one of its most terrible villains. Today, we cover the Fall of Legacy. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:50:40 In the first few minutes - after a bit of nonsensical side-tracking - we get right into the appearances of Iron Legacy in the history of Sentinel Comics. With that, we also tell some of the historical elements of the Young Legacy story, as that's a necessary part of the story setup. And then, things start getting really spread out. Good ...

After fifteenish minutes of establishing backstory and world stuff and some goofs, we get into the villainous stuff. Then, we spend a bunch of time in the aughts!
