We were made aware that one of the MMY character names in this episode is a potentially offensive, improper term. I (Dave) apologizes for the oversight, and won’t make the same mistake again. For awareness, I’m including the following article which explains the issue: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2016/04/24/475129558/why-you-probably-shouldnt-say-eskimo?t=1592243990281

Previously On #109: Who’s the Best Writer in Comics in 2020?

After viewing a tweet recently wondering who the best writer in comics was this year, I realized I didn’t necessarily have a definitive answer, in part because it’s early in the year, and in part because comics have been on a virus-impacted hiatus for nearly two months. My stock-in-trade response has unquestionably been Jonathan Hickman since House of X, but now that East of West is concluded, Black Monday Murders is on a long-term hiatus, and Decorum is only getting started, it’s worth exploring whether that answer holds up.

Krakin’ Krakoa #58: Excalibur’s Alternate Realities & Incursions! | Excalibur #10 Review

June 10, 2020 by Dave Leave a Comment

Exaclibur has grown into the series I always wanted it to be. Across issues 9 and 10, Tini Howard, Marcus To and the creative unit have built up a saga of multiverses, alternate realities, and an all-new Captain Britain Corps that both fits into the legacy of Marvel’s Exaclibur dating back to the late 80’s, and provides our first serious glimpse into alternate realities in Dawn of X.

Today I’ll answer:

How do all the pieces of Excalibur build to this moment in Excalibur #10
Who’s causing the alternate realities in the Dawn of X?
What does the re-emergence of Hickman’s Secret Wars era Incursions mean for the X-Men?

Creannotators #3: “Fearscape” Deep Dive with writer Ryan O’Sullivan!

June 9, 2020 by Dave Leave a Comment

This week on Creannotators, I talked with writer Ryan O’Sullivan about Fearscape and the upcoming not-sequel A Dark Interlude!

On Comic Book Herald’s ‘Creannotators’ I’ll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, looking for their insights on the inspirations behind the work and ideas or hidden material readers may have missed. Creannotators is an audio/visual annotative guide to enjoying the intricacies and thinking in the art. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the comics!
