Last week I had a chance to sit down with Jace from “The Comic Source” to talk about the behind-the-scenes of the past decade of Crushing Comics!
Our discussion including my approach to outlining comic guides, how I find the time to read thousands of comics a year, and why my focus is on opening gates rather than gatekeeping. Check out our full conversation on The Comic Source podcast or at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud, Stitcher, and Google Play.

Listen in as Tyler and Peter re-explore the classic Claremont X-Men material, with Fariha reading it FOR THE FIRST TIME!
In this episode we discuss a pair of down-time issues in Uncanny X-Men (1963) #109-110. Issue #109 finds a lovely lake-side picnic interrupted by a certain maple-leaf-wearing visitor hot on Wolverine’s proverbial tail. Issue #110 is a fill-in, but a planned fill-in, which means it has a bit more heft to it than our recent read of issue #106. Plus, we check in on the back-up stories in Classic X-Men (1986) #16 and 27-28, which also fit in this period.
Our conversation includes some minor comments and spoilers for House of X and Powers of X – especially for House of X #2, so you’ve been warned! We also comment very broadly on Reign of X, but in a total non-spoiler fashion.

It’s This Week in X for 3 February, 2021!
Join Peter, Tyler, Fariha, & Harry as we discuss Hellions (2020) #9, X-Factor (2020) #7, & King in Black: Marauders (2021).
In Hellions #9, we wonder who is betraying whom and when the deception really starts. In King in Black: Marauders, we have a lot to say about Kate’s compassion, Bishop’s role, and Krakoan mercy. And, we’re once again obsessed with everything in X-Factor #7, from the dynamics of speed to characer rehab to reading faces.
Spoiler warning – we discuss everything about X-Men up to and including comics from this week, as well as other current events in the Marvel Universe.
