For one night only: @danielpgrote.bsky.social got the @goshgollywow.bsky.social band back together to talk about... New Excalibur! Now with 100% more Dazzler! Plus me, @claremontrun.bsky.social & @chrismaverick.bsky.social get to complain about Pete Wisdom one more time.

Congratulations to past guests @margaretgalvan.bsky.social and Jeffrey Brown, and of course our own @claremontrun.bsky.social, on their Eisner noms for best scholarly work! 🥳 #Eisners #ComicsStudies www.comic-con.org/awards/eisne...

It's finally here 😍😭

In #Excalibur #125, "Tying the Knot," we’ve got a wedding we don’t love concluding a comic book series we do love… And in honor of this mess of mixed feelings - we’re holding an Irish Wake, celebrating the dearly deceased with friends new & old. #XMen goshgollywow.com/2024/02/10/e...

Somebody's Audacity crashed and corrupted many hours of edits which are now unrecoverable. Anyway, long story short - our final ep may be a day late 😂😭

Starting out strong editing the final episode of our Excalivur podcast

Unlike Kurt Wagner, we don't just wake up looking this dashing & debonair. In other words: we need more time to put together our mega-special finale. You'll be able to inject that into your ears next week - Feb 10. Stay Tuned!! #Excalibur #XMen #YouAreCordiallyInvited

New ep! Zack Jenkins, aka cohost of #BattleOfTheAtom, aka former EiC of @comicsxf.bsky.social aka Bad Boy of X-Men podcasting, fêtes #Excalibur #124, “Someone,” featuring much bacchanalia & the return of several somones, only one of whom gets creamed. #XMen goshgollywow.com/?p=2784

New ep! Writer, critic & game designer Armaan Babu (@armaanofstories.bsky.social) helps us find the joy we’ve lost w/ #Excalibur #123, “Lost & Found,” talking timeless joys of Nightcrawler & why maybe it makes sense for a shapeshifter to want a wedding dress? #XMen goshgollywow.com/2024/01/20/e...

You are cordially invited... to the conclusion of Gosh Golly Wow! To celebrate & commiserate, we're holding an Irish wake - and we want you there! Got an Excalibur memory you wanna share? Send us a short audio file of your remembrance by Jan 28th to be included in the episode!

New ep! Returning guest Dr. Michael Hancock (@personofcon.bsky.social) reminisces about #Excalibur #122, "The Search, Part 1," which he bought off the rack when he was but an impressionable teen! Wonder what he'll make of it with a fully developed brain... #XMen goshgollywow.com/2024/01/13/e...

The BotA boys are covering the original Captain Britain stories, Adam is talking about the sensual linework of Alan Davis, and all is right with the world. Should be of interest to @goshgollywow.bsky.social listeners!

We're back! Scholar of comics & Jewish diasporas Gabrielle Lyle talks Jewish histories of superheroes & what they gain or lose when they become nationalist symbols in #Excalibur #121, “Friends Like These,” co-starring Israeli superhero Sabra. #XMen goshgollywow.com/2024/01/06/e...

Just in time for the final episodes (sob) of @goshgollywow.bsky.social and issues I’m not sure I’ve read more than once…

Latest on #Excalibur #117: “Growing up in Sudbury in the 1970s—I was reading superhero comics for the stories, but also the rare pleasure of being able to see idealized male bodies on display.” -Lee Easton #XMen goshgollywow.com/2023/11/25/e...

Sometimes I say something kinda smart!
