Yay! We lucked out and did not lose this episode. Tune in as we talk Morrison Kid stories after Morrison, gym etiquette, and a farewell tip of the hat to X-Plain the X-Men. Hope you'll tune in.

The audio has been recovered, the episode has been edited. New #BOTA is on its way soon.

NEW: Starting Friday, two Viceland seasons of NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW plus movie will stream on Disney+/Hulu in U.S., marking first time show has ever been available on American streamer. On Aug. 7, show will stream on Disney+/Hulu in Canada. (Movie will remain on Crave here.)

The 1987 wedding of Peter Parker & Mary Jane Watson features work by legendary artist John Romita Sr. and his son, John Romita Jr., who would soon become legendary in his own right. It thus offers an opportunity to compare the Romitas’ contributions to the look & legacy of #SpiderMan. 1/13

Congratulations to Jay & Miles on the amazing run! The current X-community simply wouldn’t exist in the same way without you and your show. So many corners of X-fandom owe the pod a debt of gratitude whether they realize it or not. 1/

I'm hearing there's going to be X-Men MTG cards? Is this what finally gets me to buy MTG cards? This art from Dan Hipp does rule.

#BOTA fans we ask that you please be patient with us. While our new ep is recorded, we still can't access the audio files. I have asked zencastr for their help. Hopefully this is not a lost episode. We'll keep you posted.

We are just a tiny bit over $2.5k left to go before we are FULLY FUNDED! With SDCC about to devour all comics related attention, help us get there before it starts!!

X-Plain the X-Men also inspired @claremontrun.bsky.social which led to @sequentialscholars.bsky.social so I probably owe this finest of X-Men podcasts both my husband and my job 💙

JUBILEE! A lil' memory to enjoy as we come to the finish line on other stuff. Happy Stepback Sunday.

NEW JERSEY IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

You coulda just given me a full Muppets halftime show. That would have been fine.

In this episode: ✅That brief period when Kickstarter changed its NSFW policy ✅Sex puns ✅Voz, the sensational character find of 2026 ✅Blowing up a wizard school ✅DMing vs. comic writing ✅Power Rangers ✅Cable And more!

As of this morning I still don't have the finalized audio tracks back from zencastr. Really hoping this means it's not lost forever, but I'll keep ya posted. 😭

The Mutant Island of Krakoa offered a new lens to look at past stories and X-Men characters in a new light. I wanted to tell some stories for characters that didn't get a chance for the spotlight. johncaden.gumroad.com

GET SWOLE WITH DAN!

We recorded a delightful hour+ last night for this episode but I'm having issues with the audio finalizing in zencastr. Hoping this doesn't mean a delay in release. I'll keep ya posted.

One thing digging through Discogs is good for is reminding me of bands/albums I definitely listened to in the 90s and completely forgot about. Case in point: open.spotify.com/track/6tjysQ...

Adam's podcasting so I'm stealing his comics, starting with this one because it was on the outside of the box because it's too big to fit in the box

I have now read the galley so I know that Frank Miller does not seriously address the issues w Holy Terror in Push the Wall. He acknowledges it came from a place of “rage,” says he has “no hatred in his heart” for Muslims but concludes “I refuse to rule out any subject because of an angry reception"

My only hot take that I'm going to put out there is I think Stephen Wacker is a really good editor

More seriously though, moving the company to LA is a huge mistake. Marvel comics is not Hollywood. Marvel comics is the world outside our window, and those windows face out to... New York City.

Did I laugh out loud when it said Cebulski was moving to Japan? Yes, I did. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Wait - Green Apple Quick Step had a THIRD album that never got an official release?!?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFSs...

Fun finds at the LCS: Spider-Man Magazine #10, a TPB of Ducktales the Movie and 3-D Ducks!

There’s a conceit within superhero comics that it’s too dangerous for heroes to have romantic partners, which many stories underscore by having villains kill, kidnap, or maim them. But before her wedding to Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Mary Jane Watson shows her ability to hold her own. 1/13 #SpiderMan

It's weird that this would be flagged for "Adult Content" right?

Now with better lighting and the AC humming in the background. It’s hot out!

Just got paid, so I backed for the second issue! If you're not reading Sink Your Teeth In, you can still get both issues right here!

This week's Staff Picks include Absolute Green Arrow #3, Battle Beast #11 and X-Men #33. What are YOU looking forward to reading?

ICYMI yesterday - Zack and I roll the dice like true RPGs (Rad Podcast Guys)!

There is a pervasive, enduring assumption that superhero stories are exclusively masculine preserves. While men & boys have inarguably dominated the history of superhero comics, the wedding of Spider-Man showcases the indelible influence of a connotatively feminine genre–romance. 1/12

Enemy of My Enemy: A Daredevil Marvel Crime Novel, by Alex Segura and Hyperion Avenue, gives outsiders a tour of gangland Marvel New York.
