When we recorded our The Crow episode we ended up talking so much about music that we cut it into the first episode of our catch-all series Why Not?! One Shot, available to all Patreon levels (starting at just $1!)

I can't believe I have a chance to say this and have it be relevant: Sasquatch is canonically Jewish.

We circle back to a couple issues we skipped over in our zeal to keep the narrative moving and boy do they really expand on Heather’s characterization. Are they groundbreakingly original stories? No. ...

Arrived in Calgary and visited “Alpha Comics”. Arguably the coolest and most stocked shop I’ve visited so far. #ComicSky #Calgary #ComicBooks #FlatTrip25

#Oasis was even mentioned in last week's episode, but only in reference to the font.

Jack would ABSOLUTELY have been The Thing. And then he would have gone and found the nearest fascists to him and clobbered till he or they couldn't clobber no more.

Working on our Why Not?! Have A Drink episode for the Fantastic Four movie and came across this pinup in Silver Surfer Annual (v1988) #1.

I encourage everyone to listen to our talk with Dr. Joe Stramondo about ableism, disability and the word cripple. Oh, and #AlphaFlight Annual #1 is fantastic, come ride along with our unintentional production of a terrible radio play.

Hi folks, it’s summer, and things have got a bit busier in our day-to-day. We’re dipping in to our Patreon exclusive Why Not Have a Drink episode where we discuss Thunderbolts Asterisk. Seemed appropriate this week, what with the movie hitting digital and all that.

A LOT going on in this episode: we resolve Snowbird's mystery pregnancy, discuss a real-life arctic exploration, and very much don't talk about Marrina. That'll happen next episode...maybe?!

In this episode Heather/Vindicator seeks out...training...from a famous hairy Canadian in Upstate New York. And ends up fighting ninjas?! That's that Canadian superhero lifestyle, eh? (sorrynotsorry)

We're not saying the Winnipeg Jets-Phoenix Coyotes-Utah Mammoth is some circuitous invasion by a Great Beast. We're just saying Snowbird took one look at this logo and asked Shaman how far south Salt Lake City is...
