Marvel has a new Ultimate Universe from Jonathan Hickman and (no surprise) it's cool. Oh and speaking of Mr. Hickman, G.O.D.S. #1 has been on shelves for a bit too. Plus, we have an in-depth talk about the MCU and the state of superheroes in general, a visit to the X-Men, and reviews of the Gen V final and the Invincible S2 premiere!
We are waist deep in the Fall of X. A plethora of X-Men titles dropped last week. So Brett and EvilJeff put their danty little fingers on the pulse of the X-Men's latest era. What's working? What's not? Let's get into it. Plus in TV land we talk about the latest and greatest in Gen V and the latest and maybe not that greatest in Loki.
Warning: This episode opens with an explicitly sexual improvised sketch involving Miss Minutes. Don't tell Disney. After that, Brett and Evil Jeff catch up on last week's X-Men books: Children of the Vault #3, Astonishing Iceman #3, and Invincible Iron Man #11. Then we have a lot of TV and film to talk about: The Boogeyman (sic), Fall of the House of Usher, Gen V, Loki, and the return of Doom Patrol!
Brett got to go to all four days of New York Comic Con and has a full download for EvilJeff — and for you! TL;DR version is he touched Chris Evans. We dish over the Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X in addition to X-Men books from the last two weeks: X-Men #27, Immortal X-Men #16, Wolverine #38, and X-Men Red #16. In the world of TV, we talk about the state of Marvel, Loki, and the bloody good Gen V.
The spinoff to The Boys — Gen V — has dropped its first three episodes. Brett and EvilJeff are here to, you guessed it, compare it to X-Men. Speaking of our meandering mutants, we also visit last week's books: Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #2, Realm of X #2, Jean Grey #2, Invincible Iron Man #10. Oh my god, Emma Frost got married!!
We have some dark X-Men stories these days — and yes we are counting the upcoming spinoff of The Boys: Gen V! Brett and EvilJeff anticipate much gore. We also talk about last week's X-books: Dark X-Men #2, Alpha Flight #2, Uncanny Avengers #2, and Uncanny Spider-Man #1.
X-Force #44 sees Colossus reunited with his brother Mikhail in a reunion long overdue. And of course Brett and EvilJeff have to turn it into a sex thing. In other X-books, we talk Children of the Vault #2, Astonishing Iceman #2, and X-Men: Red #15. And in a rare move, we talk non X-Men Marvel books like Avengers, Inc #1, Werewolf By Night #1, and Saladin Ahmed and Aaron Kuder's strong Daredevil #1.
The nuptials of Emma Frost and Tony Stark are off to an accidental start. Brett and EvilJeff have the rice ready to throw! We got two weeks of X-Men books to talk about: Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #1, the Ghost Rider / Wolverine finale, X-Men #26, and Immortal X-Men #15. Plus we go too deep on Hot Topics and celeb gossip. Thank you for your patience. Also, please don't throw rice at weddings. It kills birds.
Jean Grey's solo mini is out just in time for her 19th death! Brett and EvilJeff talk about Jean Grey #1 knowing that she is a total showoff. We also visit Fall of X books like Realm of X #1, X-Force #43, and Invincible Iron Man #9 (which is totally an X-book because ... Mother). And it's been a minute since we talked about Max's Harley Quinn!
Madelyne Pryor's team of mutants have hit the streets and it's bloody good fun. Brett and EvilJeff talk about a bevy of Fall of X books like Marvel Voices: X-Men, Ghost Rider #17, X-Men Red #14, Alpha Flight #1, and Uncanny Avengers #1. Plus we talk about gay tv and movies like the charming Heartstopper S2 and the adorable Red, White, and Royal Blue!
Brett got to go to the best queer con in the world: Flamecon! He rubs it and rubs it in EvilJeff's face while telling him about his adventures! Plus we got two weeks of X-Men books to catch up on, girl! So we talk about those and then some other new books we liked like Killer Queens 2 and The Sacrificers!
The Hellfire Gala has happened and so the mutants have entered their Fall of X era! We talk through X-Men: Hellfire Gala 2023 and Invincible Iron Man #8. In TV, we have an ending (Secret Invasion) and a new beginning (Harley Quinn S4)!
Brett and EvilJeff review Barbie! Ok we are dropping this episode on the day of the Hellfire Gala but we haven't read the Gala one-shot yet. So please take a trip back with us before all hell broke loose. Still a quality episode, we assure you! We talk X-Men teasers, X-Men: Red #13, New Mutants: Lethal Legion #5, and Secret Invasion e5. And of course, BARBIE!
A lot of drama on Krakoa! Girl! And Brett and EvilJeff love it. We talk a bunch about Immortal X-Men #13, X-Force #42, Rogue & Gambit #5! Speaking of mutants, have you heard of the newest one, Ms. Marvel? Plus we dust off an old segment (Here's a hint: Ew!) and talk about a new crossover event at a non-Marvel publisher. Plus, we got to talk about Secret Invasion e4. Well, bitch actually.
Danger looms around the corner for the X-Men so Brett and EvilJeff are finally paying attention! We talk about last week's X-Men #24 and X-Men Before the Fall: Sinister Four #1. We also have some tea on that X-Men Vote and a possible winner. Brett finally saw The Flash. EvilJeff hasn't watched Black Mirror. But he did watch older superhero movies. All this plus Secret Invasion e3!
Brett and EvilJeff return after a gay summer hiatus. But is one of them a Skrull? Find out as we talk the MCU's Secret Invasion! Also in movies and TV, we say goodbye to The Other Two and hello to The Blackening. In comic books, we have a ton of X-Men books to catch up on with issues like X-Men #23, Wolverine #34, Heralds of Apocalypse #1, and the finale of Tini Howard's Betsy Braddock trilogy!
Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and Peter B. Parker are back in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse! Brett and EvilJeff shoot out some silky thoughts about this well-spun tale. We also talk about Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain and Drag Race All-Stars 8. And, um, Ms. Marvel died.
It was a light week for X-Men books but that won't stop Brett and EvilJeff from discussing Storm #1, Bishop: War College #4, and New Mutants: Lethal Legion #3. Plus, Brett saw the name Al Ewing and immediately devoured Nick Fury #1. In movies, we each watched something probably intended for babies and gays — The Little Mermaid and Shazam: Fury of the Gods.
Eras are ending! The former Titans on the former HBO Max have ended ... part of a whole decade of DC shows coming to a close. Brett and EvilJeff review the finale! Plus, the Krakoan Era may be coming to an end as well as Fall of X approaches. We go over the titles that make up the event. And we talk about the past two weeks of X-Men books: Rogue and Gambit #3, X-Men Red #11, Wolverine #33, X-Force #40, X-Men #33, and even the Invincible Iron Man #6!
James Gunn has hit stop on his Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy and Brett and EvilJeff have some high and evolutionary opinions! We also talk about last week's X-Men comics: Immortal X-Men #11, Sons of X #1, and (even further back) Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain #3. Plus we talk about some of the absolute nonsense happening in Hollywood.
