Luke and Devin sit down with Chuck Austen’s first two Exiles arcs and don’t have a good time due to some racism, some weird sexual politics and the realization that Luke read Mutant X for no reason at all.

Late This Week

Luke had a busy week of editing (see the three podcasts from last week) so the podcast for this week got pushed off a bit. It will be up Monday afternoon instead of Sunday since Luke was busy, needed time to relax and GarageBand is being difficult (none of the Wave Forms are showing up – contact me if you know a solution!)

Thanks!

Thunder Gods, Thunderbolts and Thrill Power! With Al Ewing

Universes and Issues Explored: 

  1. Earth 869371  – The Mighty Thor 371-372

  2. Earth 912177 – Dark Avengers Vol 2 177-182

Notes:

  • Zaniac first showed up in Thor 319.  My bad.
  • Al Ewing’s Dredd story in year one is Wear Iron which is in this collection.
  • We reached out to Jeff Parker about if he was a Dredd fan, the villains and more and he was great enough to reply.

Definitely a 2000 AD fan, and of course it was a chance to tell a ‘last Judge Dredd’ story. It worked in with the way I portrayed Luke in the series, always put-upon, always with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Boss Cage knows the whole world is messed up and beyond saving, he just wants it to have never happened. A good chance to do something with post apocalypse worlds. I remember Kev telling me about concept stuff for the Dredd movie and how everyone quickly realized you couldn’t turn a motorcycle wheel that was that wide. Of course, ours was cobbled together out of Marvel characters in that alt future scenario, so it’s not just giant tires, they’re flaming with Ghost Rider hellfire.

  • You can follow Al Ewing on Twitter and check out Judge Dredd to learn the magic of the THRILL POWER!

We will be back Friday with him talking Contest of Champions!

Episode 25: A Very Goth Universe

Posted on by The Watcher
1


Luke and Jay (his Pathfinder DM) sit down to go over Mutant X, Havok, The Six, a series of messed up timelines, lost plot points that ultimately ends back where it started. Also the best Cyclops!

Universes and Issues Explored: 

  1. Earth 1298 – Mutant X

Notes:

  • SHIELD stands for Saviors of Humanity by Intervention in the Evolution of Life-form Deviants.
  • Vendetta only has an alternate version in the 2099 universe where she eventually became Punisher 2099.
  • Magneto had been fighting the Kree, not the Shi’ar but it literally didn’t matter.
  • Technically Cyclops didn’t approach Havok with the ship but it is more entertaining in my headcanon.
  • Bastion being Cerebro XIII may also be headcanon but otherwise Cerebro XIII has no reason.
  • @jaydawson is Jay’s Twitter.

Episode 24: Spider-man Kane or Two Tales Of JJJ Destruction

Luke and Devin sit down for the last time before Devin moves to discuss two Spider-man What Ifs, they make the same Futurama reference several times and then they ship Storm and Norman Osborn. And Luke actually had to edit stuff to make it fit Libsyn.

Universes and Issues Explored: 

  1. Earth 80219 – What If Vol 1 #19
  2. Earth 7736 – What If Vol 1 #24
  3. Earth ? – Storm ‘N Norman (Created)

Notes:

Libsyn gives us more space overall but with a monthly cap and we hit it this month so hopefully it is not too apparent. If possible and if we have more space next month we will put up a less edited version – it was either less time or less quality.
