With X-Men #24 taking the Age of Revelation Finale reveal to another level, this is a great time to talk about Beast’s evolution over the decades.

If you're only reading headlines and see "Trump Says He Won't Use Force" it will give you a misimpression of both how bellicose this speech is and how dug in he is on Greenland.

Just read the following sentences in a comics studies book from 2024:

"Following the general conventions of the field, the writer will be treated as the primary 'artist' behind the work. When appropriate, the illustrator will be noted."

Please stop doing this. Make it a New Year's resolution!

This was such a blast! An examination of how our work in NYX and STAR TREK examine and deconstruct concepts of revolution and social upheaval…while ALSO being an incredible nerd-out session with our amazing hosts!
We boldly went! For this lecture, your hosts are joined by writing duo @hivemindactual.bsky.social @collinkelly.bsky.social @jacksonlanzing.bsky.social to discuss Star Trek: The Last Starship, their previous Star Trek Work, NYX (2024), and Revolutionary Texts!

do NOT put the two of us in a room together (bc you will get a podcast that’s way too good)
Your hosts recorded an episode that is the most fun we’ve ever had and this is only a little bit of the reason

Not irrelevant to the podcast (stay tuned for that) but see my previous posts about Beckett mariner
dean and should be prepping a podcast episode and instead we're rewatching lower decks

Instead of doing podcast prep: Dean is now perfecting his Wolf Blitzer impression in order to do a bit about CNN reporting on the dissolution of the Kree/Skrull alliance.
