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
