Time for a nice tall frosty one! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:33:19 We do some marketing goofs, at least partially inspired by Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition currently on Kickstarter ! But then! We get into telling the story of the issue, which we actually do in a very non-sequential/chronological way! The actual order of the stories in the issue is clear and unpackable, but we get a bit obtuse about it. But that ends up creating some moments that we're particularly proud of. Anyway,...

I promise that there will be at least one coonskin cap in this episode. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:46:46 Our timing was off! At the start of the episode, we claimed that the Kickstarter was already live, but we're backwards: the Kickstarter goes live one hour after this episode starts. So, if you started listening to this episode the moment it came out, you'd want to pause halfway through to go check out that Kickstarter! We'll add a link to the Kickstarter to the show notes below when it goes live...

I hope you're wearing green today! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:30:36 Some goofs, but then, a story! Actually, no, then another set of goofs. And THEN a story. Lots of interesting stuff in this one. Building out a whole set of stuff that we've had floating around in the shadows but have never formalized. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Around 46 minutes in, we take some questions... and provide answers to them! As we mention on the air, this week's live show is on Thursday instead of Friday, a...

People, places, and odds-and-ends! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:48:14 This is an interesting "creative process" episode, in that you get to see a slightly darker side of the creative process. Both Adam and I were feeling pretty rough at the time of recording, but we slogged on and made it happen. By the end, we feel like it turned out to be solid, but we wanted to be honest about our process here. After about 55 minutes of goofs, storytelling, and place-crafting, we get to your questions! Thanks for ...

Why must they fight? Show Notes: Run Time: 1:23:14 We talk about the weather! Gripping content, right? Then, we talk about Fanatic and NightMist! (Or at least we attempt to, after a few false starts and rabbit trails.) Not as interesting as the weather, but it'll have to do! Unsurprisingly, there were a few outstanding questions about each of these characters, which we get to in record time at around the 28 minute mark. Thanks for joining us!

Another tale: told! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:15 Back to the drawing writing board! We do some goofs, as per usual, then get into it. We set the story straight on Fashion — her appearances, her character changes, her disappearance, her reappearance... look, there's a lot. Then! We craft a tale! For you! After over half an hour of story making, we get to question answering! And then cover discussing, the results of which you can see above. Join us next time! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! JOIN US! J...

Delightful devices... with dangerous drawbacks! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:36:36 We goof a bit at the top, but we also talk about what the last week+ of news of/reactions to Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition. Remember, this coming Friday, we're recording a Bullpen all about Definitive Edition, so get your questions in now! Just after the 5 minute mark, we delve into treats and tricks. At around 36 minutes in, we get distracted by watching a video. This is that video . Finally, we get ...

The people that worked on it, the contents of it, the updates to game design. There's even a Polygon article! There's more than we can cover in one episode... but that's why we're coming back in two weeks with another Bullpen! So, get your Definitive Edition questions in by the 18th and we'll answer them in this month's Bullpen! Join me for m...

Welcome to the Multiverse of Sentinel Comics ! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:59:14 Hello, listener! This is (hopefully) a decent jumping-on episode. At least, it is in terms of content - Trevor (our producer) wants me to make sure it's clear that our audio quality used to be a ton better back before Adam and I were each recording in our own homes, and hopefully we'll be back in studio again before the end of this year. Blame the pandemic! Sorry about that. We follow the standard-ish format of a bit of...

First "normal" episode of the year! How normal, you ask? Not very at all, actually! Thanks for asking! Show Notes: Run Time: 1:31:34 Right off the bat, we get weird. Like really weird. Look. I'm sorry. OK? The goofs go ever on and on, down from the door where it began... But even we must finally talk about the actual topic of the day. We get into it at the 7 minute mark. There's a lot of storytelling. It's pretty OK. We seem to still remember how to do this. Whew! A bit before the 39 minute mark...

Surprise, surprise. We said there wasn't going to be an episode today, but that was the most obvious of lies, right? Show Notes: Run Time: 12:32 Happy Birthday to everyone mentioned, and to everyone else that had a birthday this year. Listen to our very 2020 song, and despair. This is what going mad sounds like. See you next year!

Except next month's schedule will feel similar to the last couple months because of beginning of the year reasons and having a packed Editor's Note! But forget about all that: ADAM IS BACK! Sort of! Whatever! Get excited! We are silly for about 7 minutes, and then we get into actually writersing this room, in which we continue to be silly. That said, given that this is a Haka story, w...

What more could you ask for? Paul and I have had a blast noting publishery for you all. Thanks for sticking with us for this weird schedule. But we'll be back to normalish at the start of the year! For now, look forward to a holiday-th...

Gather round, everyone. It's time for some real talk. Show Notes: Run Time: 1:33:39 We had a lot of fun recording this one. We learned some things - about PSAs, about comics, and about ourselves along the way. Remember, kids: there's always a moral to every story. At around 58 minutes into the episode, we finally get to your questions! There, we talk about the subject of this episode, but also! We talk about a fan-favorite new hero/old trendsetter/in between gladiator! Who could it be? No way to...

Four minutes can really drag on when it's just all goofs. Then! We tell a story! We craft it from whole cloth, live on the air! Certainly nothing obscured and no weird twists! Very straightforward beat-em-up tale here. Nothing to be afraid of... Just after the 36 minute mark, we get into your questions. Thanks for keeping up the flow of questio...

Paul spends... a LOT of time talking about Star Trek. We hope you like Star Trek. Or at least hearing Paul talk about Star Trek. And there are TWO different game shows in this episode! Who would have guessed?! All in all, more s...

Well, let us keep SOME of our secrets, dear listeners. After a few minutes of banter, we get into adding people to Fanatic's story. Not all of them are sad stories! Not ALL of them.
